After a nearly decade-long prosecution, the U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday formally dropped what was left of its criminal case against Major League Baseball career home run leader Barry Bonds over allegations he received performance-enhancing drugs. The prosecution of Bonds for obstruction of justice ended quietly with the Justice Department's one-paragraph court filing announcing that its solicitor general would not ask the U.S. Supreme Court to consider a lower court's reversal of Bonds' felony conviction. A jury convicted the former San Francisco Giants star in 2011 of obstruction of justice for giving a meandering answer to a federal grand jury when asked about steroids injections.
