"Jurors deciding the case of USA vs. Barry Lamar Bonds entered into deliberations Friday morning at the Phillip Burton Federal Building, where for three weeks the eight women and four men heard testimony from 25 witnesses and arguments from both sides.

The jurors, who began deliberations at 8:30 a.m. PT, met until 3:30 p.m., and will return Monday to continue discussing the fate of Bonds, one of the most accomplished players in baseball history being charged with giving false testimony and obstructing justice.

Monday's proceedings will begin with a read-back of prosecution witness Kathy Hoskins' testimony, which included her eyewitness account of having seen trainer Greg Anderson inject Bonds in the abdomen, where human growth hormone is typically administered.

The jurors made the request via a note to Judge Susan Illston to hear or read Hoskins' testimony. They were told in their third separate appearance in the courtroom of the day that they could have it read back, but as they were instructed earlier in the trial, could not have written transcripts to read.

Earlier in the day, they returned to Illston's courtroom to again hear the secret recording prosecution witness Steve Hoskins, Kathy's brother, made of a conversation with Anderson. They returned a second time to be informed of a factual discrepancy in the prosecution's closing argument."
