Bonds' may be indicted within week

SAN FRANCISCO - Barry Bonds' legal team is preparing for the Giants slugger to be indicted as soon as next week and has begun plotting his defense.

Attorney Laura Enos told The Associated Press on Friday that Bonds, second on the career home run list, could be charged with tax evasion and perjury. Enos, Bonds' personal attorney, also said the lawyers believe the grand jury investigating the star player will expire next Thursday.

Also Friday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to free Bonds' personal trainer from prison. A federal judge on July 5 ordered Greg Anderson jailed until he agreed to testify before the grand jury investigating Bonds for perjury.
