good morning, tara. >> reporter: good morning, claudine. you know we don't know if the defense is bluffing about bonds taking the stand. legal analysts say they could be doing this just to throw off the prosecution because they would then waste a lot of time and energy trying to prepare to cross examine bonds. one thing we know the judge will consider throwing out one of the five charges pending against bond and whether to strike some of the material presented by prosecutors. that would include the testimony of bell admitting that she exaggerated that in 2003. also just threw out a seven year audiotape and on it bonds' former business manager secretly recorded a conversation with bonds' orthopedic surgeon dr. ting. he said he had talked to ting 50 times about bonds' alleged steroid use, but ting flatly denied it. no the judge said the audio on the tape was barely intelligible. the defense will call three to six witnesses, one of them possibly bonds. another hoskins. they are interested in talking to him about a portion of those secret tape

tara moriarty tells us the focus has shifted to a secretly recorded audiotape. good morning, tara. >> reporter: good morning, pam. yes, yesterday was full of surprises. first we had a juror call in sick because of kidney stones. we're not sure if he's going to be returning or not. if not we'll have an alternate step in. the other big revelation was this secret audiotape. now prosecutors announced this unexpected piece of evidence yesterday. if admitted it could be a big curve ball for bonds' defense team. bonds' former business manager discovered the audiotape sunday. it's a secretly recorded conversation he had with bonds' orthopedic surgeon. ting testified last week he never talked with him about bonds using steroids. depending what's on the tape could prove otherwise. the timing of this is particularly interesting because he testified he and ting had talked just days after the raid in september 2003. >> if the government is anxious to play it, the implication is that it will be good for government, the prosecution, because it will support his story. >> report
