Clemens Jury Deliberating, Will Clemens Be Remembered For His Time in Pinstripes or "Another Kind Of Stripes"?

I can guarantee you Roger Clemens has been humbled ! The seven time Cy Young Award Winner . "Roger the Rocket ! Athlete of "Rock Star " status. 100 mile an hour fastball. World Series winner. Earned well over a $ 100 million. Even had a special contract with the Yanks where he was able to go home on "off-days " and watch his sons play. 350 wins....Should I go on?
But with the case now in the jurors' hands , not even the greatest brushback pitches ever can help or save him. His fate is 1000 % in those 12 citizens' hands . Right now, Roger is thinking about acquittal. The Hall of Fame. Conviction, shame, disgrace, prision time and "familial strife" . It will never be the same if convicted and then having the conviction affirmed on appeal! It would be Roger with a new number:#78654368978. Well you get the point .
So as these 12 jurors go through the testimony and the admitted evidence ,Roger can only keep his chin up ,his happy face on and pray ! I'm going on record right here and now ...Clemens will be acquitted on all counts. McNamee is a sleezebag, and Petite's testimony just didn't make the cut . To convict , the jurors would have to reason that McNamee , an admitted liar, cheater, sleeze testified truthfully and they are convinced "beyond a reasonable doubt ".Key words, "reasonable doubt"!
Well it won't be long now .

Judge Rules Clemens Must Face a Re-Trial; Is Anyone a Winner?

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!
