Barry's legal troubles

by sularz on Jun 9, 2006 3:53 AM PDT

article in the New York Times today says Kimberly Bell has been asked by federal prosecutors not to speak with the Mitchell commission because of "the pending criminal proceeding." The significance, according to Murray Chass and Jack Curry:

"Because federal investigators asked Bell to avoid Mitchell, it is a strong indication that they are actively pursuing perjury charges and possibly additional charges of financial malfeasance against Bonds, 41, the left fielder for the San Francisco Giants."

She's a better witness on potential tax charges than on perjury, so maybe that's going to be their angle. Though I don't read this as saying that Bell is necessarily the "star" witness in any potential case.

Why would they think Grimsely has any connection to Bonds? They have never played together. I've never heard of any friendship between the two players. It looks like a bit of a stretch for Barry's name to be thrown into this. And even a bigger one to think Grimsely would wear a wire to talk to Barry about steroids. Stupid stuff, but probably true. It has always been about Bonds and it still is.
