1. Throughout his Major League baseball career, Barry Bonds was infamous for giving rambling, evasive, and self-indulgent answers to questions, and he was convicted yesterday in federal court for doing precisely that, the Chron notes. Jurors said they voted unanimously to convict Bonds of obstruction of justice because he refused to directly answer a question about whether he had ever been injected by anyone other than his doctor. Bonds’ attorney had urged the jury not to convict, arguing that “Barry was just being Barry” when he testified under oath before a federal grand jury. Bonds also was nearly convicted yesterday on one of the counts of perjury he faced, but a lone juror refused to vote guilty.
