Feds rewrite case against Bonds

Prosecutors insist Bonds lied to a grand jury at least 19 times about taking performance-enhancing drugs. But last month a federal judge said the case was too broad and would have to be re-filed.

Wednesday, U.S. attorneys said they would seek a superseding indictment, which ABC7's Legal Analyst Dean Johnson says will involve presenting it to a new grand jury.

The original charges could have resulted in a thirty-year prison sentence.
