The grand jury investigating Barry Bonds has been extended for another six months, several sources familiar with the government's case have told the Daily News, and the U.S. Attorney's office in San Francisco is confident it will have enough evidence to secure an indictment once it resumes in September.

 

Another source said he believed prosecutors could secure an indictment if they sought one now, but that they would rather take the additional time to strengthen it. The grand jurors have not met for at least three weeks and have been instructed that they will not reconvene until September. Bonds is being investigated for perjury and tax evasion.

 

"If the case is 90% now, there's no reason not to go for 100%," the source said. "They aren't just waiting around for Greg Anderson."

 

Sounds like they're going to have a pretty strong case against him.

It's from a NY rag, so color me skeptical.

 

However, I'm guessing Bob Ley and everyone else on ESPN are currently doing backflips.

The Daily News is a rag, but its a rag with teeth. They have much more credibility in the sports arena than most newspapers with back pages.

 

What a year this is shaping up to be for Barry.

If they indicted him now, I wonder if Selig would suspend him prior to him breaking the record?

You can bet you ass ESPN isn't going to even mention Bonds is still currently under Grand Jury investigation.

 

Kudos to the Daily News for refusing to ignore what's really going on with Bonds. It's terrible to be crowning a cheat and possible criminal as the home run king.
