Bonds’ trainer back in jail after hearing
Barry Bonds’ personal trainer was back in jail Monday, where he’ll stay until he agrees to testify before a federal grand jury investigating the Giants slugger.
Greg Anderson, found in contempt of court for his refusal to talk, could remain behind bars for more than a year while the grand jury investigates Bonds for perjury and tax evasion.
“Sometimes sitting in the cooler for a long time may have a therapeutic affect and may change his mind,” U.S. District Judge William Alsup said during the hour long hearing.
