Judge Illston said she was forced to postpone the trial indefinitely while the case heads to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The government's appeal appears to be a tacit acknowledge of the significantly weak case they currently have against Barry Bonds in the steroid-related perjury case.
