Yesterday, the assigned Federal District Court Judge ruled that "The Rocket", Roger Clemens must face a re-trial in April 2012 on the perjury and obstruction of justice charges.The Judge reasoned that he was obligated to give the Prosecutors another chance. Do they deserve it? Probably not!
So who is a winner here? The Prosecutors must prepare and retry an unpopular case. The taxpayers get saddled with the huge costs which must be undertaken by the US Attorney's Office. Clemens must incur astronomical attorneys fees and an "unsettled future". The Judge hates the case. So who is the winner? Oh I forgot...Rusty Hardin is , he gets another $5-10 million in legal fees for defending Clemens.
Happy Labor Day!
