"The jury deciding the fate of Barry Bonds has entered its third day of deliberations, calling it a day Monday after hearing a re-reading of key testimony in the morning and continuing discussions into the afternoon.

The eight women and four men impaneled March 22 in Judge Susan Illston's courtroom listened to 11 days of testimony and arguments regarding testimony Bonds gave to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) grand jury in 2003.

The jurors returned to deliberations at 8:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday.

Bonds, the Major Leagues' all-time leader in home runs and a seven-time Most Valuable Player, is standing trial on three counts of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice based on his appearance before the BALCO grand jury, in which he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs. One charge of making false statements was dropped prior to closing arguments. "
