A federal judge agreed today to postpone the prosecution of Barry Bonds while government lawyers correct technical flaws in the indictment of the former Giants slugger.
At a hearing in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, Judge Susan Illston granted a government request to put the case over until June 6. In the meantime, prosecutors said in legal papers they would seek a new indictment of Bonds, who was accused of lying under oath to the federal grand jury that investigated the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative steroids scandal in 2003.
