Feds end prosecution of Barry Bonds without conviction

The U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday formally dropped its criminal prosecution of Barry Bonds, Major League Baseball's career home run leader.

The decade-long investigation and prosecution of Bonds for obstruction of justice ended quietly with the DOJ's one-paragraph court filing announcing it would not ask the U.S. Supreme Court to consider a lower court's reversal of his felony conviction.

A jury convicted Bonds in 2011 of obstruction of justice for giving a meandering answer to a federal grand jury when asked about injections. A federal appeals court overturned that conviction in April.

The DOJ could have asked the high court to take the case. Instead, the DOJ said the reversal of Bonds' conviction would stand.

There won't be a whole lot of joy in the Mudville sports group tonight!

1. That's one lucky liar ...

even so, his reputation will remain tarnished forever.

I wonder if the Giants will officially welcome him back to the organization?

4. He's still a big fat cheater.

5. He can't whitewash the fact that he's a gutless cheating fraud

If he had any integrity, he would just admit he cheated and lied about it. Of course the fact that he cheated and lied means he has no integrity.
