DoJ Drops Barry Bonds Criminal Prosecution After Decade-Long Investigation

21.07.2015
The US Department of Justice on Tuesday formally dropped its criminal prosecution of Barry Bonds, Major League Baseball’s career home run leader.
The decade-long investigation and prosecution of Bonds for obstruction of justice ended quietly with the DOJ’s one-paragraph court filing announcing it would not ask the US Supreme Court to consider a lower court’s reversal of his felony conviction.
A jury convicted Bonds in 2011 of obstruction of justice for giving a meandering answer to a federal grand jury when asked about injections. Instead, the DOJ said the reversal of Bonds’ conviction would stand.
