Should DOJ Take Barry Bonds to Court?

It's safe to say that Robert Weiner, former spokesman for the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, isn't thrilled that Barry Bonds broke baseball's home run record this week. In an op-ed in the San Francisco Chronicle Weiner, along with Kate Berenato, a senior at Lehigh University, argue that the Justice Department should put Bonds on trial on charges that he used steroids and other illegal drugs:

He should be tried in drug court for use of illegal substances and, if found to have used them, should be given mandatory treatment. Drug court allows for people to be convicted of non-aggressive drug charges without being sent to jail, rather they are given the help they need in rehab programs.
