Re: Barry Bonds indicted
[ QUOTE ]
How did they "obstruct justice"? When they refused to name their source, they were in contempt and could have been locked up; but then their source came forward and they could no longer be held in contempt. [/ QUOTE ] Better yet, how did Bonds "obstruct justice"? The Balco defendants were indicted almost immediately after his GJ testimony, and convicted in less than a month.

[/ QUOTE ] Umm...he lied to federal agents during a federal investigation with the sole purpose of avoiding prosecution? The fact that his fraud failed doesn't make it any less fradulent or criminal. It's hardly the laws fault that he's an ineffective and stupid criminal. Smart 'roid mongers pull a McGwire and refuse to answer any questions or participate in the process.

You have every fact incorrect. Read the entire thread (and maybe some of the news stories) and try again. Start with this: Bonds is being prosecuted for lying to the grand jury not federal agents and he did not lie to avoid prosecution because he had immunity from prosecution for anything that he said. He didn't commit fraud and he is not accused of fraud, he probably did lie and he is being prosecuted for that. Bonds may very well have obstructed justice, but not for any of the reasons you say.
