Former San Francisco Giants slugger and outfielder Barry Bonds was convicted last Wednesday on one count of obstruction of justice, after the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California declared a mistrial on the three perjury counts against the former player.
The Associated Press has reported that U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California Melinda Haag has informed the media that the Government may seek a second trial of Bonds as a result of the dismissed counts. The Court has scheduled a hearing on May 20 to determine whether or not the Government will seek a second trial.
