Partial Excerpt

> [@](#):

> A federal grand jury is investigating whether Barry Bonds committed perjury when he testified in 2003 that he never used steroids, according to media reports. The panel has been hearing evidence for more than a month about whether the Giants’ slugger lied to a different grand jury that was investigating the BALCO scandal, according to reports Thursday night on CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle’s website

I hope they convict him, it would be sweet justice.
