Roger
Clemons was found not guilty in his perjury trial in Washington, D.C., stemming
from his testimony given to Congress in 2008 about using steroids. Of course, in the official court documents,
the words “Not guilty” will be followed by an asterisk.
When
the verdict was read, spectators saw Clemons hug family members. Had he been found guilty, they would have
seen ‘roid rage.
Prosecutors
really expected a conviction, so Clemons acquittal really threw them a curve.
Because
Clemons was a pitcher, he was worried about the government’s “3 strikes” rule.
The
government has been upset since the original steroids trials, because without a
multi-million-dollar contract, Clemons wasn’t willing to play ball.
