Barry Bonds pleads not guilty to steroid perjury charges

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Barry Bonds, Major League Baseball's all-time home-run king, pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges that he lied to a federal grand jury in 2003 when he denied use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Dressed in a dark blue suit for his first court appearance since being indicted, the controversial 43-year-old slugger had his lawyer tell a judge in U.S. District Court in San Francisco he was innocent of four counts of perjury and one of obstruction.

The court set bail at $500,000 and a February 7 date for the next hearing in the case. He had reported to authorities for processing on Thursday, his lawyers said.

13. THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS
how can they continually get away with this. It is time someone filed a complaint against their license. Take away the news license and give them one that says they are a fiction show.

14. Did they also report that he was O.J. Simpson's Lawyer & the hostage-taker at Clinton Headquarters?

Then again, Barry Bonds is a former Bush employee, so he MUST be guilty anyway.

15. 'While in court today, Bonds also hit 107 home runs
to pass Sadaharu Oh as the international all-time home-run champion.

"'The judge got all these sliders up, right in my habeas corpus zone,' Bonds said.

"While the home-run ball fell just short of McCovey Cove, denying Bonds of his 36th 'splash hit,' it did carom off the 'scales of justice' statue outside the court, leaving a slight dent."
