2002 bonds talked about injecting himself after a greg anderson refused to give him a shot hoskins also testified from 1998 to 1999 he saw physical changes in bonds body. issue size and glove side change. if bonds was heavier, been bearish a lot more muscular. he testified by 2003 it was getting out of hand. he said it decided to secretly make an audio recording of a conversation with greg anderson where they talked about injecting steroid so he could play it for bonds father bobby. in hopes the father would put a stop to things. that never happened because the bobby bonds was ill. the audio tape was actually played in court but was virtually inaudible. the only way to follow it was by viewing a transcript. it made no mention of steroids are bonds by name. it did refer to something as undetectable. during cross- examination the defense suggested that hoskins is not a witness that can be

trusted. they suggested that he had forged on the memorabilia. they say the reason that he made this recording and is testifying is simply for one reason, payback. the federal courthouse, kron 4 news. >>pam: we're joined now by our legal analyst michael korda's had a talk about the bonds trial today. we should start off by saying steve hoskins has been your client to four. >> yes he was a way back to the beginning of this. i thought he did well on the stand. through the early afternoon i thought he did well but eight it started to tyro. i thought the defense are doing a spectacular job. they're very well prepared, they were able to point out inconsistencies and some of the things that steve

hoskins said on the stand. one of the things that shocked me the most was one the defense asked him, how long a time did you spend preparing to testify with the government? about 45 minutes and half-hour another time. that shocks me. i've defended go for over 20 years, in a case of this magnitude, i would spend days with him preparing. when he gets on the stand they ask him questions and when did you, this is 2011 he has to go back to 2002. there is some inconsistency. i think preparation would've helped him an awful lot. prepare him so it doesn't have to go through that. whose fault that is? i don't know. >>pam: on paper his testimony read strong. he talks about the whole

steroid thing and barry asking him to go buy the drugs didn't he? >> according to steve, barry came to me any said will you find out about steroids what exactly it is, what side effects are to it? he went to the doctor and got information. dr. tim will come in later and say yes he did come to me. and yes i did give him information. that in a sense will cooperate the things that hoskins are saying to a point. the defense has made some points. if >>pam: what is the value of the secret recordings that hoskins made in his conversation with greg anderson? >> varies name was never action mentioned on the tape. people can infer from listening to the tape, in court, it was awfully difficult to hear. the jurors did get a transcript so they were were able to follow along. it's too bad it wasn't cleared up more.

the talked a lot about when stevie had to take about trying to clear the table top and get rid of the tape. that's all that was done. >>pam: with the value of the tape like that? >> you can cross-examine every one to death and show you don't leave the person, then you have the tape. if the tape is the tape. it says what it says. >>pam: how was buried responding in court? >> he was complacent at times, i did see him laugh one time when stevie mentioned something about when barry and i did this, we decided how the money would be split up or whether i owed him money. it was between him and i. that's the first time i've seen very respond. >>pam: the personal assistant and business manager they were obviously close. it and then this follow. it is our credibility to the defense

for the reasonable follow? >> there trying to say stevie did certain things, forged his signature but stevie says no, i did it * sign barry's names but barry asked me to do that. anytime i signed barry's name it was on his behalf. >>pam: any early predictions for you on how this might come out? >> i hate to predict, the jury may come back and say you know what mr. bond's, we feel that you did take steroids. we feel you lied about it, he took an oath when he lied about it, we feel you set it in front of the grand jury and they just want material for the investigation. will lead to walk out. if there is a conviction it will be one count and that said. >>pam: thank you as always michael cardozo. steve hoskins will be cross- examined again on thursday, san francisco giants' clubhouse manager and vice
