Hypothetical question for the Armchair Attorney's
ESPN Radio station in Phoenix is having a contest to name the group of attorney's representing Barry Bonds. Some of the suggestions:
- Balco Bunch
- Syringe Six
- Creo-Team
- Cream of the Crock
Not the question, just thought I'd share.
Here's the question;
I'm the state's prosecutor against Barry. Barry is in court today to plead against charges he lied to federal investigators on perjury for lying about knowingly taking steriods. In which there is enormous evidence to the contrary, otherwise he wouldn't have been indicted in the first place, right?
So, in front of a judge today, he pleaded not guilty on all counts. Which means, technically, he is lying again to the court in answering to charges that he lied. With me so far?
Now, if I'm the state's lawyer, as soon as the words "not guilty" come out of Barry's mouth, I immediately go into my infamous Robert Shapiro imitation and call a sidebar, at which time I file new perjury charges for lying that he lied.
What do you guys think?
