BINGO! As could be expected, RedBean completely misrepresents the situation. This was no trap to put Bonds in jail.

Maybe I didn't explain it well.....but the trap went like this:
If Bonds admits steroid use, they leak the testimony and destroy him in public opinion.
If Bonds denies the steroid use, they prosecute him for perjury.
They offer him immunity so he can't plead the fifth, and if he refuses to answer questions a la McGwire, they put him in jail for contempt.

So if he did lie he did it because he cares sooooo much about his public image he would risk jail time to preserve it? Is that what you mean?
