Bonds Judge Reconsidering Testicle Testimony
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The federal judge presiding over the Barry Bonds trial is now considering whether to bar testimony regarding the slugger's testicles.
At issue is a concession Bonds' former mistress made on the witness stand Monday. Kimberly Bell testified that she exaggerated when she told a grand jury that Bonds' testicles shrank by half late in their nine-year relationship.
She said Monday that Bonds' testicles shrank and changed shape, but not as dramatically as portrayed before the grand jury.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston said she was "struck by" Bell's concession. The judge was reviewing transcripts of Bell's grand jury testimony. One remedy under consideration is for the judge to tell the jury to disregard Bell's testimony regarding Bonds' testicles.
