A failure to indict here would have been EXTREMELY public and loud. Deafening, even.

Do you think an acquittal has the same effect, or does the angry mob just ignore it in favor of their own preconceptions?
Personally, I'm just glad they are making progress towards a resolution......4+ years of speculation is just that...speculation....now it's time to side up and see who wins.

In terms of the anti-Bonds crowd, I would imagine it goes like this:
admission>>conviction>acquittal>>&g t;no indictment. I think there is honestly very little difference in most peoples minds between a conviction and an acquittal. I think there is pretty much a 0% chance that we will be inundated with retractions or apologies or anything like that if he is acquitted. THEN we will hear all about how this wasnt Bonds steroid use on trial. Of course, UNTIL then, thats how it will be painted.
