Barry Bonds lawyers will head into court today to argue his appeal of his obstruction of justice conviction today. There will be no decision today because that's not how appellate courts roll, but when you read the Bonds headlines later, that's what it's about.
To review: Bonds was acquitted on all counts of perjury, but convicted for obstruction of justice. The basis for that conviction: a rambling answer to a question about whether anyone besides team doctors ever injected him with anything.
GFBB Note: Craig Calcaterra who penned this post is a lawyer and has some really interesting comments on this case. Example: ".....the fact is, Bonds was asked a yes or no question and he answered “no. And " It is not the job of the criminal justice system to punish an evasive or non-responsive witness".
