Bonds gets slap on the wrist after $50 million dollars and 9 years:
…. Nearly nine years, thousands of attorneys' hours and reportedly more than $50 million of taxpayer money later, Barry Bonds has finally received notice of punishment for what prosecutors insist was his lying under oath about using performance-enhancing drugs.
Considering the sizable investment of prosecutors' time and Americans' tax dollars, the “punishment” may seem a little light: U.S. District Judge Susan Illston sentenced Bonds, who in April was convicted on one count of obstruction of justice but escaped c
onviction on perjury, to 30 days of home confinement, two years of probation and 250 hours
of community service.
UPDATE: It didn't take long for the slam jobs on Bonds to start rolling in:
…. It should be an honor and a privilege to be voted into a place that represents and symbolizes baseball’s very best, and if you think of in that context, how can you vote for someone who so blatantly and arrogantly cheated the game?
Just know that in his rush to make sure we know he stands for all that is good and right, Harper has forgotten that Bonds' didn't cheat.

He did NOT cheat! And 50 million bucks couldn’t even prove he took performance enhancing anything. He got convicted on lyin about something that couldn’t be proved. Nonsensical at the least.

Welcome to Oakley Sunglasses Hut to buy cool and cheap oakleys sunglasses.
Bonds didn’t cheat? Are you kidding me? What planet do you live on? Since when is steroid use not cheating? I’m assuming the comeback is “Well, they couldn’t prove it in court.” Yeah, because Bonds and his team did a good job covering their tracks and the one guy who could prove it would rather sit in the clink than implicate his “buddy.” I don’t need a judge to tell me Bonds ‘roided up and cheated, and if you do, you’re looking for ways to apologize for him. People are not supposed to look like a tick that is about to pop, you don’t get that way from just weight-training. You get that way with “help.”

I’ve updated a prior post. Baer isn’t as clever as he thinks he is. His competition is coming from an old rival that he thought he had buried. And I could not be happier or more satisfied.

merry xmas
hope sabean chokes on a cheese ball
LOL Fanny Wada and Lance Williams, and the ususal suspects were in court frothing away on Twitter, breathless descriptions of Bonds, Novitsky. Blah blah… prosecutors “clenched jaw, crew cut” Feds insisting on minimum 15 month prison sentence. Judge Illston goes blah blah “foundation of justice system blah blah bleet, snore, zzzz” 30 days mansion confinement, 2 years pro and about 6 weeks worth of comm service.
Defense stands up, says they’re going to appeal. Judge says no prob, sentencing is stayed pending appeal.
Merry Christmas. Its over. And in the process, MLB, Bud Selig, Congress, George Mitchell, the US Justice Department, the Federal Bench, Numerous media hacks and blithering TV and Radio idiots made complete asses of themselves, by making Barry Bonds the most popular athlete in San Francisco history next to Willie Mays and Joe Montana..
Beautiful
Bonds stood up to the The Man and he won. Which is why the media hated him in the first place. It’s very admirable. No McGwire-esque weepy toadying. The media hates integrity.
And yeah, Selig and MLB – WTF? Let’s see, the rulers of the sport are totally aware and do nothing and thus sanction everything and then play dumb… showing they’re clueless or pussies or really inept bad guys.
Bonds walks being none of the above. With the judge rolling her eyes for months. Ha! Hope he sues MLB for zillions.
i just wish he wasnt going through with the appeal
its gotta be both financially and emotionally draining….and no matter what, the hof voters are gonna punish him by not making him a first ballot hof
take the 30 days bed rest, negotiate the community service to have something to do with working with inner city kids, the probation will probably shortened once the community service i completed….and its all done
i wish the defense had introduced barry’s many interviews as evidence…the guy was always great at not answering questions….years of learning how to be defensive
barry was being barry on the stand
And nine years and $50 million later, they still never proved he even used steroids. Yahoo wants him to “come clean” now, as it’s “the right thing to do”. I guess THEY don’t respect the law – if nine years and $50 million only proves Bonds is capable of rambling (there’s some news), I’m thinking it can’t be proven.
What a sham.
fuck that..what crime can i commit so i too can get 30 days in bonds’ house….have you seen that place?
and for community service…he should be forced to work with the giants players on hitting….a true service to the community
dont forget the 4k fine….wow, great return on a wasted prosecution
hope the prosecutors in the rocket case are paying attention….drop it now…no one fucking cares
YEAH! It’s over! GO GIANTS!
