Can we finally stop being told to give a crap about this now? Either way the verdict went, it changes nothing.

So we can also resume the Clemens to the HOF talk now?

Clemens' lawyer managed to find the only 12 people in America who don't think Clemens was juicing. Good for him. He's still a cheating scumbag, and I'm quite sure everyone knows better.

I think it had more to do with a failed prosecution attempt than finding "the only 12 people in America who dont think Clemens was juicing."
Besides, he was on trial for lying to Congress about PED use, not actually using. Can people start to get that right???

If he was using, then he was lying to Congress about using them when he said he didn't. He was on trial for lying, but the action led to the lies.

Perjury is tough to prosecute, and as history has shown with the clowns prosecuting...this was a circus.
That said, I'm surprised, but with McNamee being the premier witness, his credibility is too easily contested.

I guess it actually helped Clemens to fraternize with other scumbags because their testimony isn't worth squat.

Face it, the prosecution was lucky they got to retry the case at all and the first judge didnt dismiss it with prejudice after their initial screw-up

In this period in time, I thought this was completely unnecessary and a waste of tax payers money. On top of that, I find it comical that someone can be tried in court for lying to congress when congress lies to the people they are supposed to represent every day.

If Clemens didn't go to trial there'd be tons of people saying that the law favors only the rich and powerful. It was obvious that there was enough evidence for him to go to trial but perjury is tough to prove.
Doesn't matter that he wasn't found guilty - - in that his trial will have cost him even more HOF votes which alone is sufficient punishment.
As a taxpayer and baseball fan, I'm happy to help pay for the cost of a trial... as I'm sure others are.

Remember when he picked up Piazza's shattered bat and threw it at him...saying later he thought it was the ball? Talk about your classic case of 'roid rage. He just might be the most hated ex-player out there, top 5 for sure.

Big waste of taxpayers dollars here. Just another high profile failure of the Justice Department. Now the USADA, not the Justice Department, will be using taxpayer dollars to go after Lance Armstrong. These morons will be using testimony from less credible folks than McNamee to go after Lance. smh

As someone mentioned above, the point in prosecuting these guys is to prove a point that just because you are a celebrity, does not make you immune from the law.
It is completely worth the money to prove that point and as a Federal taxpayer, I approve of sending that message.
