schilling can defend himself by showing grand jury testimony that bonds used roids. Kinda puts a dent in your lawsuit when you've already admitted to what the other guys says you did.

[RonCey]

Truth is a defense to defamation. What does this mean in practice? By filing this claim, Bonds exposes himself to all types of discovery from Shilling geared at determining whether Bonds in fact used steroids. It won't happen.

Uh, who is going to testify to sealed grand jury testimony?

[NewUserName]

This is actually the funniest thing I have heard in a couple of days. Is it possible for both sides to lose?

Pretty much what I'm going to say.

 

If I'm Barry, I start going after people.

[Cubzfan64]

You'd think at this point Barry would just want to drift into oblivion and never be heard from again - at least since he claims he hates the media attention etc...

 

Despite anything that ever happens, the "court of public opinion" will forever see his career and record as being tainted. The fact that Greg Anderson prefers prison to testifying about Bond's use or non-use of steroids imho is all the proof I need that Barry was doing something he knew was wrong - if there was nothing to hide, why sit in prison?

 

If Bonds ever has a falling out with Anderson, that's when the full information will come out - my guess is Barry will be funding the rest of Anderson's life if not.

 

Personally I'm tired of him and wish he would just go away.

Well, couldn't Schilling just say he testified that he unknowingly took roids. Then it would be up to Bonds to prove that he didn't say that. I don't know...it's all stupid.

I don't think it's just Barry. I think there's more to it than just Barry.

Just bring a copy of Game of Shadows. Case dismissed.

 

This is just a ploy anyway, to try and scare anyone else who might be thinking of speaking out against Barry. Nothing but some intimidation to try and silence the very real criticism that Bonds doesn't want to have to deal with anymore.

i hate curt schilling like most baseball fans hate barry bonds

[Wilson A2000]

Man Barry does think he is innocent. He has fooled himself. But we must remember that Bonds did sue the authors of "Game of Shadows" only to revoke it once the government began their case. One the one hand it looks like Bonds is trying to cover his butt, but on the other hand it gives him a touch of credibility. Wait, did I just say that. This is really what Barry does not want. The only thing that could make him look worse is if this somehow went to trial and we come to know in a court of law that Barry did knowingly take steroids.

[KatJ]

The best thing Bonds could do for himself is put some duct tape over his mouth permanently the next time he puts his armor on his left arm. I've never witnessed anyone so talented, so strong, and such a complete jerk and crybaby at the same time.

[Illini Iceman]

How's that Rafael Palmiero lawsuit against Jose Canseco coming along?

Word.

Around the same as Coke's taste infringement rights against Coke Zero.

nobody... if Schilling is being sued for defamation of Bonds' character, he can use Bonds' own grand jury testimony to show that he indeed did use steroids.

I wasn't aware that Bonds's grand jury testimony had been unsealed.

Oh cool, the thing Bonds needs most is more money.

[Wilson A2000]

He talked to talk, but he certainly did not walk the walk when it came to the steroid hearings in Washington. I lost a ton of respect for him that day.

I doubt he's suing him b/c he wants his money.

It'll be a while before that happens. The armor goes on his right arm.

that's what confuses this non-lawyer: we know that schilling is innocent, but as far as I can tell, he can't use the sources of his knowledge as a defense.

 

On the other hand, American trials of this sort (unlike British) put the burden of proof on the prosecution, which is why all those libel suits by terrorism supporters and such take place in the UK

You can't use leaked grand jury testimony in court. It's sealed, no matter who leaked it, it's still sealed. It simply can't be used in court.

What part of Game of Shadows is proven fact either?

Pretty simple way to stay out of this trouble if you are Schilling.

 

Shut your big mouth.

 

Pretty funny that Schilling spouts off about users when one of his best friend (Luis Gonzalez) is one of the most obvious users. Hypocrite much?
