Former Major League Baseball All-Star Barry Bonds is no longer being prosecuted for obstruction of justice charges.
According to The Associated Press, the United States Department of Justice formally dropped Bonds' criminal prosecution on Tuesday after nearly 10 years of legal fighting.
"The DOJ could have asked the high court to take the case," the AP report noted. "Instead, the DOJ said the reversal of Bonds' conviction would stand."
In April 2011, a federal court jury found Bonds guilty of obstruction charges after he gave a vague, non-specific answer about whether or not he used drugs that required a syringe.
