Bonds Perjury Trial Date Set For Next March

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― Barry Bonds is scheduled to face trial on March 2, 2009 on 15 federal charges of lying to a grand jury about his performance-enhancing drug use.

Bonds pleaded not guilty of the charges Friday. He'd pleaded not guilty to similar accusations in December, but a judge ordered prosecutors to rewrite the slugger's indictment to fix legal infirmities in the document.

The new indictment includes no new allegations.

Bonds was re-arraigned Friday on 15 felony counts of lying under oath.

Prosecutors say he lied when he told a grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative in 2003 that he never knowingly took steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.

Bonds also is scheduled to appear later Friday in a status conference in which a trial date may be set.
