BALCO Leak Sentenced to 2 1/2 Years

[BAMAPHIN 22]

An attorney who admitted leaking the confidential grand jury testimony of Barry Bonds and other athletes to a reporter was sentenced Thursday to two and a half years in prison, by far the harshest penalty to result from the government's sprawling probe of steroids in sports.

I think this makes sense....leaking GJ testimony goes against everything a lawyer passes the BAR for and agrees to. Certainly its perhaps not as strong as a Doctor and their hippocratic oath...but it should be.

Our legal system has to fairly run its course without the risk of "leaking" testimony, etc.
