The Government's Case against Baseball's Home Run King is going, going ...

... gone?

With Trial Looming, Feds Streamline Charges Against Bonds

Fans loved to hate Bonds.  Sports Writers used to hate Bonds.  Now it may be the Government's turn.  Time, reluctant witnesses, and the fact that public simply doesn't care any more has made the urgency and ability to prosecute him dubious.  The Feds have dropped the number of charges against Bonds from 11 to 5.  And after all, how do you prove he perjured himself, when your most damaging witness has said that he would go to jail before he would testify against Bonds?  It may be time to stick an asterisk in this one.
