Apr. 22, 2015 – Barry Bonds Obstruction of Justice Conviction Overturned

“On Wednesday [Apr. 22, 2015], the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco reversed the conviction from 2011, stemming from an answer that Bonds gave to a grand jury in 2003. An 11-judge panel of the appeals court, in a 10-1 ruling, said it was not material to the government’s investigation into a drug-distribution ring…

The opinion also said that Bonds, 50, may not be tried again on the same count.”
