The verdict came after a 12-day trial.  He was also being tried on three other counts; however, the jury was  unable to come to a unanimous decision regarding those charges and the  judge issued a mistrial. The obstruction of justice charge stems back to  statements that Bonds made to a grand jury in 2003 and whether or not  he had knowingly injected steroids. In order to be convicted, the jury  had to determine whether or not his testimony had purposely misled the  grand jury.<\/p>\n<p>Bonds could face up to 10 years in prison for his conviction although  federal guidelines only call for 15-21 months. Similar offenders in  steroid cases have received up to one year of home confinement. Bonds  defense lawyers immediately requested that the charges be thrown out but  the judge is yet to rule on the request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MLB record holder in homeruns, Barry Bonds, was convicted of obstruction of justice Wednesday.
