Barry Bonds was indicted on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction.  The possible penalties include:

perjury: 5 years in prison, 3 years under supervised probation for each count.

obstruction: 10 years in prison, 3 years supervised probation.

Yet another athlete in trouble with the feds.  Unfortunately for Barry, this sounds pretty serious. I don’t understand why he had to lie about it.  If they caught you, then just admit it. His personal trainer, Greg Anderson, was released after serving most of the year in prison.
