Barry Bonds Verdict Coming In Minutes


The jury has been deliberating on perjury charges for four days.  Certainly they won't now say they have no reasonable doubt about his guilt.

Update: Hung jury on all counts with the exception of one. That verdict is. . . . Guilty on "Obstruction of Justice" (the most catchall of federal crimes.)

Edit: How vague is this?? Counts 1 through 4 of the indictment were for perjury. One was abandoned at trial leaving three counts of perjury which the jury did not convict on. So look at the remaining language of the Obstruction count (below). Without lying being proven, the jury had to have convicted him on being "evasive" or "misleading". Sheesh.
