Bonds Trial Delayed By Sick Juror
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Testimony in the Barry Bonds perjury trial has been postponed until at least Tuesday because one of the jurors has called in sick.
The trial had been scheduled to enter its third week Monday following a three-day break.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston sent the jury home after juror No. 9, a data center engineer for Amazon.com, called in. Illston said the juror's note said the absence -- which she said was for gallstones -- would continue for "most likely the rest of the week." Illston said her clerk will need to "explore with him what his situation is."
The last government witness, anti-doping expert Dr. Don Catlin, had been scheduled to complete his testimony.
