Reply #68: Well it's pure speculation whether Bonds providing more info.

than he did would have headed off an indictment.

So neither of us know that.

As for Anderson saying he gave Bonds steroids but Bonds didn't know about it .. I would absolutely forbid him to testify such a thing if he were my client.

Why?

Because the prosecution could simply say, ah hah .. so now we know Bonds did take steroids. Mr. Anderson, how are you sure Mr. Bonds didn't know what you were giving him? Is it not true he could have done his own research? Is it not true he could have asked other players who've admitted to taking steroids what the substances were?

And on and on.

Very easy to capitalize on such a damaging admission by Anderson.

Not only that, even you concede it would only be a possibility Bonds might not be indicted.

The defense lawyers for Anderson and Bonds are puting on an impressive show of legal prowess.

And this is not a publicity stunt for Anderson. He's protecting a friend.

I'm saying his reward for doing so, which could include a second round of prison time, would be a fat book deal .. among other things.
