ESPN: Superseding indictment adds perjury counts to Bonds

The U.S. attorney’s office filed 14 counts of perjury and one count of obstruction against Barry Bonds on Tuesday, sources told ESPN’s T.J. Quinn. The counts were filed in what’s known as a superseding indictment that added 10 more counts to the four baseball’s all-time home run king was charged with in November.

In March, the perjury case against Bonds was put on hold for three months, with prosecutors telling a federal judge they plan to obtain a new indictment against him.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston had told prosecutors on Feb. 29 to fix their original indictment because it lumped multiple allegations into too few counts. Illston said that prosecutors needed to drop some of the allegations from the indictment or add more charges.
