Bonds,  being prosecuted for lying to a federal grand jury in 2003, was seen  grinning as he left the courtroom Friday, apparently encouraged by the  testimony of Dr. Arthur Ting. Ting&#8217;s testimony contradicted the  testimony of the prosecution&#8217;s star witness, Bond&#8217;s former business  partner Steve Hoskins.<\/p>\n<p>Hoskins had testified previously this week that an elbow injury suffered  by Bonds in 1999 was the result of steroid use. This was the statement  told to Hoskins by Dr. Ting himself. Ting vehemently denied having made  the statement.<\/p>\n<p>The jury will most likely make a decision in the case soon. The  likelihood of reaching a guilty verdict looked to be a virtual slam dunk by  the prosecution earlier in the week but now \u00a0is very much in  question. Bonds and his legal team showed positive emotion for the first  time after Ting&#8217;s testimony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Barry Bond&#8217;s perjury trial took an unusual turn this week.
