SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Federal prosecutors will appeal a key ruling in the Barry Bonds perjury trial, likely delaying its start for several months.
Prosecutors notified the judge of their latest move after Bonds’ personal trainer, Greg Anderson, said at a Friday morning court hearing that he would not testify at the slugger’s trial. Jury selection had been scheduled to begin Monday.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston had barred prosecutors from showing the jury important evidence linked to Anderson unless he took the witness stand.
Bonds is accused of lying to a grand jury in 2003 when he denied that he knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs.
