Bonds officially appeals conviction

Baseball Betting Lines

12/22/2011 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barry Bonds has officially appealed his felony conviction on obstruction of justice.

An attorney for Bonds submitted the notice of appeal in U.S. District Court on Wednesday, six days after the seven-time MVP was sentenced to 30 days house arrest and probation for his evasive 2003 grand jury testimony in the BALCO steroids case.

"Defendant Barry Lamar Bonds hereby appeals from the judgement and sentence imposed by the court in this matter on December 16, 2011," read the letter signed by attorney Dennis P. Riordan.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston sentenced Bonds to house arrest, two years of probation, 250 hours of community service and a $4,000 fine last Friday.

The judgement in Bonds' more than four-year-old legal case was stayed pending the appeal.

He was originally indicted in November 2007, but an appeal over evidence and subsequent motions set the start date of his trial back several years to March.

Bonds, 47, owns some of the highest-profile records in baseball, including 73 home runs in 2001 with the Giants and 762 career homers.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
