Home run king Barry Bonds was convicted Wednesday of obstruction of justice for lying to a grand jury about using steroids and human growth hormone.
Bonds, 46, displayed no emotion as the San Francisco jury delivered the verdict after almost four days of deliberations. The panel was unable to reach a decision on three other charges.
Bonds long has faced speculation he used steroids – the owner of Bonds’s record-setting 756th home-run ball marked it with an asterisk – but Wednesday marked the first time Bonds was convicted of a crime in association with the scandal.
Federal sentencing guidelines recommend 15 to 21 months in prison, but Bonds may serve his time in home confinement.
