Barry Bonds pleaded not guilty to fifteen federal charges of lying to a grand jury about his use of performance-enhancing drugs, according to The Associated Press.

He pleaded not guilty to similar accusations in December, but a judge ordered prosecutors to rewrite the indictment.

Rosie Kreidler, who is Barry's aunt, was there to represent the family.

"The reason that I am here is because his father is deceased," said Kreidler, sister to Bonds' father Bobby Bonds. "This is such a tremendous blow to his family. It is so much on us. He's a great person. We are all praying for him."
