Bonds Guilty

[metirish]

Of obstructing justice


Now what?

[metirish]

Actually this is good news for Bonds as Government only got conviction on the obstruction?

[Frayed Knot]

Guilty on the one count, hung jury on the other three.
I have no idea where the gummint goes from here.

[Guest Kong76]

The fix was in.

[MFS62]

Hung jury gives the Government the option to re-try the case.
Question is, will they?

The best service he could give any community would be to leave it.
