She was in a financial bind I guess.

What is the reason you bow down to Lance?

Do you do that for free?

I believe there is a letter missing in one of your words...

Oh and one other thing by the defence today - they said that he sure was getting alot of action for someone with penal dysfunction.
Thank god for twitter.:)

How many years did Ms. Kimberly act as Barry's consort, while he was married to two different wives and also Mr. Bonds also had children while he had sidewomanaction playmate Kimberly. How many other consorts did Mr. Bonds have while he was with Kimberly, his children and his wives.
Sorry I made a mistake with Kimberly, she be a ho. I bet 8 women jurors and both Barrys' wives would agree.

What interests me about this sorry tale of shrinking testes and growing tetes is how the jury will assess each person's credibility. Bell is being painted as a bitter money-grabbing ex-girlfriend out for vengeance. And there seems to be plenty of angles for the defence to work that might paint an ugly picture of her. But the defence is also introducing Bell's emails that suggest that Bonds, who was married at the time, was sleeping with hookers and strippers. That might cloud the 'poor performance' angle but it also paints Barry as a serial cheat. And if he cheats on his wife to that extent, maybe he cheats on baseball. It's a dangerous approach.

Seriously though, today is the day to watch sports fans. Jason Giambi and Co. come to Mudville. Jason is a known steroid user, active player and close personal friend of Bonds. This day is no joke for the courtroom , Bonds or baseball. It could be a blueprint if an indictment takes place against my beloved Armstrong.

She had a career as a graphic designer which was one of the things Bonds liked about her. He encouraged her to move and give up that career. He was separated from his first wife when they met and she was openly his girlfriend to the point where Giants manangement got her hotel rooms on the road. She may not have been smart but she did believe that they had an exclusive relationship. It went sour after he got married to his second wife.

she said on the stand that she loved him. He is really a tool, he treated her like trash. Keeping her job and having some money of her own probably saved her as a human. Bonds is getting one person after another talk about his words and actions, even if he doesn't get popped for ped use he is toasted forever

You apparently don't know the details of their relationship.

Bonds was calling her office so much that it became an issue with her boss.

He was also physically and verbally threatening her and keeping tabs on her. Part of the MO of steroid abusers is roid rage which goes to the heart of the current situation.

MAYBE SHE WAS BEING STALKED which WOULD make her a VICTIM?

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the issues here before writing as some type of authority?

And when she was being stalked, harassed, etc. what did she do about it? That's right she did nothing. Your moral compass has been asaulted by a perverted magnetic vortex.

reading this stuff will make it easier, she said in her statements that he gave her the down payment . She also said that he sent her money and gifts for her family. She said that he worried about lump sums so he sent her 5 and 10,000 dollars at a time. The lawyers asked her repeatedly why she went on Geraldo and Howard Stern and laughed so hard about everything Barry and why was she crying now. No question that Bonds was a hole, and probably went from mean to worse after he was on roids, she was a victim of living above her means while Barry subsidized her life as a paid sex partner.
It was sad that she was so hurt after Barry left her in Texas after 9/11. She said hey Barry can I get a ride on the chartered jet and he said no wait like everybody else, she stayed around even after that also, kept collecting the money
One part I still don't understand is that Bell said she told Novitzky that parts of her diary were written by Aphrodite Jones to "spice up" her book. Why would they put a the diary into evidence if the person who it belongs to says she didn't write it

I read about this stuff years ago - thank you. You still haven't a clue what you're talking about.

Flicka: while your tongue is still firmly in cheek you should read the New Yorker 3.28.11 article about the case. The article suggests what you imply about Bonds' legal situation and indicates it may be just the start of USADA festivities with Roger Clemens on deck this early summer. Considering the timing of each case it's possible we will see your beloved and his cause being the crescendo of prosectution. If Novitsky is going for maximum effect the serious start of festivities could follow Clemen's trial right into the 2011 Tour with Novitsky saving the best for last.
Unfortunately for the last defendant the public sympathy for rich cheaters will probably tapped out.

she just said it under oath yesterday in court was my first clue.The co-written part of her diary was disclosed to Novitzky as per Ms.Bell a couple of months ago. if you are need of clues the official court record is probably a better source than your extensive reading years previous of volumes of hearsay

Ok - I;m going on Grand Jury testimony.

Secondly - how much money did Bonds give her to the house? Exact figure.

I think 90,000 and he gave her folks some money also. He acts like it's a gift to some people and then when he gets mad he wants it back. Some other goon ripped her off after the Playboy photos she was supposed to get a 100k but he must have had some fine print in the contract because she says she got 18 only. She also worked lots of jobs but had a bad spell where she was unemployed for @2years, it's not clear how much Bonds helped but he must have said he would and then backed out. One thing is really clear no matter who you are you didn't want to see Barry with no clothes on shrinky dink and zits all over the place and from what she says he would gets big knots, lumps under his skin, the one she describes near his elbow sounds all kinds of ugly. She said that he would stand in front of the mirror and ask if everyone will be able to tell how bloated he was. Bond's lawyer is trying to act like a wingman of sorts. he used one of her statements about how many women he was messing around with and then he said thats not consistent with the erectile problems she described, Bonds smiled when he said it.

Thanks for the heads up, I respect New Yorker, and you are probably right on all counts as far as the future of the cheaters. In the 7 days this trial has been going on I can see where the prosecution is going. I think they are doing a very, very good job. The only thing is, Bonds looks like such a shmuck to begin with it seems to me to be a very easy case for the prosecution to find Bonds guilty. If Giambi, and the trainer, implicate Bonds, as in helped him to, recieved from, or saw Bonds do steroids then Bonds is toast.

How tough are you about going to authorities if you're unknown, no family around, seeing a guy with that much power, and he threatens to kill you.

He offered her 20,000 to disappear and sign a conf agreement - gladly she did not. The house he said he would buy her was respossessed. Of course his main way of paying her was by signing baseballs for 100 dollars a go.
I genuinely can't see any redeeming factors with Bonds. He gets his son to pose in front of journalists for the sympathy vote, and the following day buys him a top of the range BMW. Yet he tells Bell to disappear, sign an agreement and that's that.

She was afraid perhaps? Haven't seen any of these stalker murders on tv?

I never looked at it that way thanks for the enlightenment. I am now firmly entrenched as a member of the digger helpless victim support group. Do I get a tshirt?

Is there a list of circumstances that will restrict me, as an american citizen, from going to the cops and reporting things that are giving me grief? I want to make sure I do not put myself in that position. I have added screwing around with married people to that list as a starter. But then I would be making a choice to not do that which sorta flies in the face of the digger victim group bylaws.

bar testimony regarding Bonds' testicles

Perhaps this is precedence that Size Does Not Matter after all. If thats the case then I take back all the bad things I said Barry. you da man!
------------------------------
At issue is a concession Bonds’ former mistress made on the witness stand Monday. Kimberly Bell testified that she exaggerated when she told a grand jury that Bonds’ testicles shrank by half late in their nine-year relationship.

She said Monday that Bonds’ testicles shrank and changed shape, but not as dramatically as portrayed before the grand jury.

Not sure if it is a hold up but there is a good chance it will come across as a tax payer waste of money which will likely translate to LA more public support

Emergency restraining orders are free.

I believe OJ Simpson violated a restraining order.

Does a restraining order physically restrain the subject?

Just askin.

I see your point, however in our country, we still need to believe that our people will obey the laws, otherwise, there would be anarchy.
It seems to me, if a high profile guy like Bonds was slapped with a restraining order, he would be advised by his attorneys to respect it.
My point is, if Kimberly felt threatened, bullied or controlled by Bonds, it would seem logical to seek outside help.

OJ 'High Jumper' Simpson is an extreme case of extreme violence.

pretty cool about the IRS being the biggest part of the raid teams on Balco and Quest labs. Anderson is sounding pretty sleazy, down and super dirty drug dealer. Giving guys injections in parking lots. I didn't know the standard but the best area for your HGH shot is in the stomach. The Giambi brothers say they didn't need Anderson, they gave themselves the shots. I ma not going to cheat on my taxes after reading about Novitzky's pitbull style
