I WASN'T THERE . . . . . .

(Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?)

I WASN'T THERE:

So, I cannot possibly determine what a so-called jury of my peers was thinking.

So, I cannot know whether or not the fact that the alleged trainer kept going to jail rather than testifying ever entered into their consciousness.

So, I have no idea how a jury who hears no denial of steroid use by the defense, and hears the sworn testimony of an alleged eye witness of having seen his trainer injecting him, can't seem to agree 100% he was being injected in a 11 to 1 vote finding that he was.

So, I don't know how much - or if at all - race entered into a decision by a juror named Nyiesha that she would become the only one of 12 who was a holdout on the second count of perjury; the one that alleged Bonds lied when he said only doctors injected him.

So, I don't even know if that same juror is black.

So, I don't know how the government decided it was worth an investment of $6 Mil (before the trial)and then declined to call several former MLB players to testify.

So, I don't know why the judge refused to allow a tape alleging a conversation with the trainer who is supposedly admitting he injected the defendent with steroids.

So, I don't know why the prosecution decided to drop the 4th count of perjury and asked the judge to do so and then lost on the remaining three perjury counts.

So, I don't know that the prosecutions decision above plus the actions of the one holdout - that resulted in a 11-1 not guilty verdict on that charge- demonstrates cluelessness on the part of the prosecution - including the voir dire.

So, I don't know if you are found by a jury of your peers not to have perjured yourself - how did you manage to obstruct justice?

So, I don't know if it is impossible for prosecutors to convict - and maintain that conviction - against any sports figure of that magnitude and statistical record acquisition.

So, I don't know if a former record holding pitcher is grinning from ear to ear.

So, I don't know whether a matter determined to be so important by the Justice Department to spend $6 million + should be heard by a three judge panel - instead of a jury of his/her peers.

So, I don't know if you're the prosecutors team that a healthy part of the six million might not have been better spent on hiring a good defense attorney for your side.

So, I don't know whether a matter alleged to be this important to our kids future will have any positive or negative impact based on the final outcome - nor do I understand how 3 out of 4 USA Today sports reporters said they will vote for Barry Bond's admission to the Hall Of Fame when he becomes eligible in two years.

So, obviously, I don't know whether or not when this defendents head and body became the size of King Kong's he really believed it might be time to cut back on the flaxseed oil and arthritis balm.
