about two hours ago as a convicted felon. smiling, barry bonds and his lead attorney shook hands after the conviction, then he autographed a baseball for a fan. >> he has wanted very much to address you directly. but as you saw, the case isn't over. >> reporter: that's because it was a split decision in court. jurors announced they were hopefully deadlocked on three counts or charges against him or lying to a grand jury about knowingly using steroids or being injected. neither bonds nor his mother showed any outward emotion as jurors unanimously found bonds guilty of one count of obstruction of justice. >> allege steroids which allege needles which allege human growth hormone, those were

mistried. there was no conviction, no verdict, no finding adverse to barry bonds. >> reporter: u.s. attorney afterward did not speak to the media. she issued a press release saying she respected the jury's decision. quote, we are gratified by the guilty verdict. taking an oath and promising to testify truthfully is a serious matter. we cannot ignore those who choose instead to obstruct justice. there has been no decision yet on whether to retry barry bonds on the counts the jury did not reach a verdict on. people ask, could he go to prison? yes, of course he could under the guidelines for sentencing, but that is considered unlikely. reporting live in san francisco, channel 2 news. >> barry bonds legal team immediately asked the judge to throw out the guilty verdict. the question tonight is, are

there grounds for an appeal? david stevenson was inside the courthouse today when the verdict was read. he joins us live from san francisco with what legal experts are saying tonight about the next step. david? >> reporter: the federal jury inside the courthouse behind me convicted him of a single count of obstruction of justice. he said he'd never knowingly used steroids in his career. the jury took four days to reach that one unanimous decision after nearly three weeks of testimony about his alleged steroid use. the conviction means bonds misled or impeded a grand jury hearing about steroid use by athletes. at the start of this case, he originally faced 9 charges whittled down to four. the verdict made sense given the complexities of the case, but the defense may have grounds to have the conviction

overturned on appeal. >> they'll be studying appellate grounds to study the guilty verdict. >> it's a verdict that makes some sense. it's a compromise verdict. there are jurors who couldn't agree on perjury. it only requires an attempt to obstruct justice. this some sense, it requires less evidence of knowing, you know, perjury. it requires simply an attempt to mislead the grand jury. >> reporter: outside the courthouse this afternoon, jurors told us the evidence presented indicated bonds was evasive in his testimony. bonds defense team and u.s. prosecutors will be back in court on may 20th for a status hearing and possibly set a sentencing date which could be three to four months away. >> so once again, the jury in

the barry bonds trial delivered a split decision. deadlocked on three counts of lying to the grand jury about his use of steroids. on count one, the vote was 8-4 for not guilty. on count two, 11 jurors voted to convict. one held out for not guilty. on count three, it was 9-3 for not guilty. and on count five, the jurors unanimously found bonds guilty of obstruction of justice. a number of jurors spoke afterward and talked about that split decision. >> we went one way, we went another way. upon looking at all the evidence that was in front of us, we made a decision. >> the evidence that he did steroids might have been there. did he knowingly do steroids was the question. we couldn't prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. >> beyond a reasonable doubt is always a really tough call for most jurors to make. >> one juror explains a deadlock by saying there was a

piece of the puzzle missing. we'll hear more from the jurors coming up at 5:30. >> the giants are taking on the dodgers tonight, but it's the former giant who's generating all the talk. reaction from fans and also what the team is saying tonight. >> reporter: fans are just starting to trickle into tonight's game 3, the concluding series here at att park. many of them had just heard about the verdict. their reactions are decidedly mixed. bonds is one of the greatest players to ever put on a uniform. he's the game all-time and single season leader in homeruns. he hit number 762 in 2007 to set the all-time record. he's also part of what can only be described as baseball's steroid era. one of the most exciting times in giants history, but the team

disstanced itself from what was going on in the courtroom. this case is on going. we expect it will proceed in a fair and orderly manner. accordingly, we have no comment at this time. what it does is it put fans in a tough spot. they're not sure where they should put him in terms of baseball history. >> it creates a little bit of a black spot on our history. >> i think it's personal business. i think it's unfortunate that something got him here for a reason. he's done a great job for the giants. appreciate it. >> i think it was a total waste of time. i think the prosecutor was trying to make a name for himself. i'm not saying i know he didn't do anything wrong, but there's so much he said, she said regarding this situation. there wasn't a lot of real hard, cold what you might call criminal facts that came out that i could tell.

i think it was a total waste of time. >> reporter: kind of like the way the giants were this weekend. they had a lot of circumstance to get this behind them and play routine baseball. they would rather not have this be number one topic as far as the team is concerned. >> another prominent figure in the barry bonds saga has been his former trainer anderson. the 45-year-old refused to testify. the same thing that happened back in 2006 during the federal grand jury investigation. back in 2005, he was sentenced to three months in prison. jurors did hear a tape recording in which he described injecting bonds.

>> the barry bonds perjury case dates back more than seven years. in december of 2003, bonds testified in front of the grand jury. in november 2007, just months after he set the all-time homerun record and stopped playing baseball, bonds was indicted. his trial began four weeks ago and the jury delivered that split decision today. we continue our coverage of the barry bonds case with much more coming up at 5:30. you'll final more comments from the jurors and barry bonds attorney. visit ktvu.com. we have the first video from inside the courtroom of that man from reno who investigators say is a serial killer. he appeared there this

a public defender. the judge ruled he would give naso two weeks. he read to naso the charges in the complaint. in it, charged with killing four northern california women. 18-year-old roxene. 2-year-old carmen. 384638-year-old pamela. >> the case is on going in an investigative posture. we have the counts we believe the evidence is sufficient to prosecute at this point. >> reporter: prosecuted the last death penalty case back in the 1980s. he's looking to seek the death penalty against naso. >> everything will have some bearing on what our ultimate decision is. >> reporter: naso's next court

appearance, april 27th at 9:00 a.m. >> investigators in the case are also talking to authorities in new york about a series of killings called the alphabet murders. the schoolgirls at rochester new york alphabet case had first and last names that began with the letters. they have not found any connection with naso. >> what we're thinking or wondering is if this is a copy cat off the rochester murders. >> new york police have not linked him to the alphabet case, they say they have not ruled him out as a suspect. prosecutors released gruesome details about the death of a san francisco teenager in court. andy was killed over the weekend in san francisco.

similar at campus. cutting education isn't putting thing in a proper perspective. university officials say they understand the frustration of students and staff and they want it to be known everyone in this fight together. >> it's time for the taxpayers of california to decide how they want their money to be spent and what level of support they'd like to give to the future. >> reporter: organizers say today's event was successful, but it's not enough. contact your local lawmakers. new restrictions in place for medical marijuana shops in the largest city. in a sharply divided vote, tentively approved limits on where medical marijuana clubs can operate. they would be restricted to industrial and commercial zones. thatment cos after more than a year of debate.
