Barry Bonds Avoids Jail

[zbikowski88]

SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds will remain free and unpunished while he appeals his conviction for giving misleading testimony before a grand jury.

A federal judge handed Bonds a sentence of 30 days of house arrest, two years of probation and 250 hours of community service on Friday -- then delayed the sentence pending an appeal likely to take a year or more.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston also fined Bonds $4,000 for his obstruction of justice conviction arising from his grand jury appearance eight years ago.

Prosecutors wanted the home run king to spend 15 months in prison.

Sounds like a great investment, almost like Rudy's drink company.

Is it just me or are you not surprised anymore when people avoid jail these days?? From OJ to Casey Anthony...A case such as Bonds' is weak in comparison...should've just stopped pursuing it rather than dropping $75 Million
