If Bonds were even halfway likable, he’d be home free. (And he might still get off.) This has been an incredible waste of time and money.

And get ready for Round 2 when they try to nail Lance Armstrong. Based on the government’s performance in this case, Armstrong isn’t going to have much to worry about. To convict him, the govt will need a jury where everybody buys into the complicated fraud case they’re going to try and prove and not a single member is predisposed to siding with the celebrity cancer survivor. That’s not going to happen. If Bonds is acquitted, my money is on the Armstrong case quietly going away.

Looks like the Government will NOT rest today. There’s a juror with kidney stones, for one thing. For another, apparently they’ve magically uncovered a recording from 5 years ago between Hoskins and Ting, and may recall both witnesses to discuss it.

For those that want to make Bonds a special case because he lied, I don’t think a acquittal will do much to change their minds. Those folks have already decided that he lied and even if the case is not strong enough to hold up in court, it doesn’t mean he’s been proven innocent for them. I still think he gets in the HOF, but it could be a long slog.

7 years and 6 million dollars later.
