Barry Bonds perjury trial begins

[eaglezoners]

The Barry Bonds perjury trial started Monday with 39 jurors getting dismissed from a prospective jury pool of slightly more than 100 people.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston excused one juror because of a death in a family. She then granted the request of both sides to dismiss another 38 prospective jurors with perceived biases. One of them, for instance, was dismissed because her mother worked for a district attorney.

. . ...


After proceeding for about 10 minutes, the judge called a recess so she could consider prosecutor's request to dismiss an additional 10 jurors. About 40 minutes later, court resumed with Illston saying she expects to have just enough people to fill the jury.

"Waste of tax payers money" is an understatement, This Trial and the Clemens one are really stupid.... You are spending money and time in this while you could be catching terrorists, rapists, killers, Hijackers and thieves. Why? Because both lied in front of the congress? Big Deal, every year we see congress members lying to the people that vote for them and no one does anything.

Want a better illustration??
You think Obama didn't know he was not going to be able to close the prison at Guantánamo Bay? Think about it!
