Re: Barry Bonds indicted
[ QUOTE ]
You cant have this both ways. If Kim Bell, Tim Montgomery, and other people who testify against Bonds dont "count" because of character issues, then Conte and Anderson should not be treated as infallible in their testimony either.

Considering that Greg is explicitly named in each and every count, and the government has been wanting him to testify and has expressed as much in open court......I'd have to respectfully disagree on the level of credibility assigned to him as a witness....and the United States of America might just get what it asked for.....

And besides, I never discounted Kim for character....only because she's told three different stories at different times....and Tim has nothing to offer but third or fourth hand hearsay which isn't admissible in court.
But you're right...no one can have it both ways.....which is ironic considering the way the media and public will react upon acquittal.
It's going to be mighty hypocritical to see all these folks who take so much delight in an indictment when they are full of nothing but excuses and rationalizations upon acquittal.
Just like in baseball, it only counts what you do on the field....in this case it only matters what happens in the courtroom.
Because in the court of public opinion, regardless of the verdict, the media and angry mob will continue to consider him guilty regardless.
