Re "Bonds guilty on one count," April 13: Perhaps the only reason that Barry Bonds alone has been deemed guilty - that is, on the rather broad charge of obstruction of justice - is because many other people in baseball who knew about steroid use were never put in a position where they, too, might lie about such activity in professional baseball.
