New indictment against Barry Bonds unsealed
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Barry Bonds was charged in a new indictment Tuesday with 15 felony counts alleging he lied to a grand jury when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs and that he hampered the federal government's doping investigation.
The career home run leader originally was indicted in November by a federal grand jury on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice.
Following a motion by Bonds' lawyers to dismiss the case, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in February ordered prosecutors to rewrite the indictment because multiple alleged lies were lumped into single charges.
On Tuesday, a grand jury handed up a superseding indictment charging Bonds with 14 counts of making false declarations to a grand jury in 2003 and one count of obstruction of justice. No new lies were alleged.
"It's exactly the same," Golden Gate University law professor Peter Keane said.
