Barry Bonds faces 12 charges in perjury case. Baseball’s home run record-holder will face three less counts of lying while under oath after a judge dismissed the charges Monday. Barry Bonds is still up against 10 counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice related to his 2003 testimony, denying that he used steroids before a grand jury. Judge Susan Illston dropped one count of perjury that she considered duplicitous, another because Bonds’ answer was vague, and a third because she viewed a question as ambiguous. Bonds is expected to face a new jury in the perjury case next March.
