Dream on Barry Bonds

On Wednesday, Jan 23rd, Barry Bonds asked a federal judge to dismiss perjury charges against him arguing the indictment is "scattershot" and noted for its "striking inartfulness." The lawyers said "the questions posed to him by two different prosecutors were frequently imprecise, redundant, overlapping and frequently compound." Bonds' lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Susan Illston to toss the case or order prosecutors to streamline the indictment, which cites 19 different instances of Bonds' alleged lying but only charges him with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction. Bonds, a free agent, has pleaded not guilty to four charges of perjury and one count of obstruction.

Sorry Barry Bonds, you are living in a dream world because now that the Law and the fans that hates you has there claws in your flesh, dismissal is not an option!

The case against Bonds will not be dismissed. Why? Not because of your alleged guilt, but because of his character and race.

Bonds is in a losing situation. Fans hate him because he is viewed as a "jerk", some players don't like him because he is viewed as a primodonna and others hate him because the color of his skin.
