How about....
Barry Bonds convicted of obstruction of justice in performance-enhancing-drugs case - latimes.com

Quote:
After a government prosecution that lasted nearly seven years, a federal jury Wednesday convicted home-run king Barry Bonds on one charge of obstruction of justice for impeding a grand jury investigation into illegal steroid distribution.

The judge in the case declared a mistrial on three remaining counts.
There it is, plain as can be......no "not guilty" finding in the trial. Hung jury on three counts, conviction on the 4th count.

So, on the basis of your assertions, unaccompanied by any sort of evidence, should we deny the above reality and pretend that Bonds wasn't convicted?

Then how come he did not serve any jail time?

His sentence is pending appeal.

Have you done zero reading on any of this? That explains your Pollyanna Bonds worship, you apparently have not followed the story at all.

At this point I have to hope you are trolling.
