Barry Bonds found guilty of obstruction of justice, mistrial on others - ESPN

So after all this time, money and effort the government proved what most already knew. Barry Bonds is obstreperous. I guess after eight years, this is what we get from government work.

No wonder this country is in the dismal shape it is in. What a waste. Great job fellas.

Barry Bonds found guilty of obstruction of justice, mistrial on others - ESPN:

Even the one charge that left Barry Bonds a convicted felon didn't specify steroids.

Instead, a federal court jury found the home run king guilty of obstruction of justice Wednesday for giving an evasive answer under oath more than seven years ago. Rather than say "yes" or "no" to whether he received drugs that required a syringe, Bonds gave a rambling response to a grand jury, stating: "I became a celebrity child with a famous father."

"Bonds leaned forward, looked at the clerk, but never reacted when the verdict was read. His mother, Pat, watched from a second-row bench.

'Divided, not unanimous,' on count one.

'Divided, not unanimous,' on count two.

'Divided, not unanimous,' on count three.

And then, just when it appeared Bonds would escape unscathed, came the final word from the jury:

'Guilty,' on obstruction of justice."
