Barry Bonds’ Lawyers: Acquittal or Schedule a New Trial

It's starting to be 'go' time again for Barry Bonds' Legal Team. Go lawyers!

On Wednesday, Barry Bonds’ attorneys filed a motion in U.S. District Court in San Francisco asking Judge Susan Illston to change Bonds’ obstruction of justice conviction to an acquittal or schedule a new trial.

“Unauthorized rambling is not a federal crime,” Bonds’ lawyers noted. Whatever that means.

Federal prosecutors are also expected to ask for a new trial Bonds on the three perjury charges.

A hearing for July 1 is scheduled for this request.
