“Bonds prosecutors seek to admit tests at trial”: Bob Egelko of The San Francisco Chronicle has a news update that begins, “A prosecutor in the Barry Bonds perjury case asked a federal appeals court Thursday to remove the government’s biggest obstacle to winning a conviction: the refusal of Bonds’ trainer to testify about drug tests that might show the former Giants star lied to a grand jury about steroid use.”
