Barry Bonds Charged with 14 Counts of Perjury

Tainted baseball legend Barry Bonds was charged by the Feds on Tuesday with 14 (a Pete Rose dozen) counts of perjury. The additional charges are bad news for Mr. Bonds.

The indictment revises prosecutors’ earlier indictment, which stemmed from the 43-year-old’s testimony in the BALCO steroids case. The new charges cite Bonds for each allegedly false statement he made while testifying before the grand jury, according to the station.U.S. District Judge Susan Illston had told prosecutors on Feb. 29 to fix their original indictment because it lumped multiple allegations into too few counts. Illston said that prosecutors needed to drop some of the allegations from the indictment or add more charges.

Bonds has not played so far in 2008 but continues to indict a desire to. Most teams have shied away from signing Bonds because of the massive amount of baggage that comes with him.

Barry is Major League Baseball’s all-time and single season home run leader.
