Bonds and baseball

[divcom]

This s##t is like a witch hunt.  You can deal coke, say you are a user in court and get off with rehab and community service.  Who is driving the steroid nonsense in baseball?  Take away 2.5 yrs of someone's life just for hitting f##kin homeruns so more people can come to the games.  Unreal!!!   

You know where I can get a job in Colombia?   


Charges triple against Bonds, legal exposure remains same

Federal prosecutors unveiled a new indictment against Bonds on Tuesday, May 13, 2008, charging the home run king with 14 counts of lying to a grand jury and one count of obstruction when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—While federal prosecutors tripled the number of charges against Barry Bonds, he faces the same amount of prison time he did under the original indictment.

Legal experts said given Bonds’ clean criminal record and the nature of the charges, the home run king faces up to 2 1/2 years in prison if convicted of all 14 counts of making false declarations to a grand jury and one count of obstruction of justice. If Bonds is convicted of all counts, he expected to be sentenced to serve the prison sentence of each charge concurrently rather than consecutively.

In the superseding indictment handed up Tuesday in federal court, prosecutors worded 14 charges against Bonds as making “false declarations” instead of “perjury.” In the original indictment last November, there were four counts of perjury and one of obstruction of justice.

Legal experts said the difference is without distinction and that Bonds still is broadly charged with lying to a federal grand jury when he denied knowingly using peformance-enhancing drug use. The experts said the prosecutors appeared to change the wording to appease U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, who tossed out the original indictment because of technical e

I think your missing the point. It's not that he did the drugs, it's that he lied to a Grand Jury. If you lie in court like a Grand Jury you open up a can of worms and it's basically over........let face it.......he f**ked up!! Same with Clemens, even though he said he didn't lie about taking drugs to a Grand Jury, you can bet your ass his life will be turned upside down to find out wether he lied or not. He f**ked up as well.

I have a client that was named on the Mitchell Report and we both sat and just watched Clemens stumble his words, contradicted testamony and made an ass of himself. Now it's coming out he had multiple affairs. If you ask me, he and Bonds are pretty much even in the moral dept!!

I'm missing the point.  Where did this all start to get to this point..as far as thees guys having to lie? These guys are doing regular man s##t like jacking off behind the wife's back. Affairs are tabloid BS!  There are more users in the NFL and IFBB, so why no witch hunt in their backyard?

Nobody likes a cheater.  It's just how it is.  Granted most pro athletes still take gear, it's garbage.
Again, great use of tax dollars.
Your best bet when under oath, just admit to taking whatever drugs they mention.  Even if you never took them, chances are they wouldn't try to hit you with a perjury charge..haha
Human nature, to enjoy watching someone successful fall.  It's the consolation to those who never achieved close to the same thing..haha
