In my opinion, our legal system was gotten very lax regarding the sanctity of truth and people who commit perjury rarely get punished and as a result have made a mockery of our judicial system and this ultimately victimizes innocent people.

Also, if Clemens' attorney decides to pursue the double-jeopardy hearing and gets Clemens acquitted, that to me does nothing to help his credibility and thus the cloud of unethical behavior still looms and his chances of going to the Hall are greatly diminished in my opinion.

One could also argue that this whole spectacle is a better economic stimulus package than any Washington lawmaker could ever conceive of.

Apparently the Government's attorney slept through the first day of law school He should have known better than to try to use evidence ruled inadmissible to bolster his evidence. Dumb...

Wrong. The Romans understood the importance of bread and circuses. People need entertainment. And many, many, people will enjoy seeing Clemens' fat, track-marked ass in the slammer.

Why would a lawyer disregard an order from a judge like this? Should lose his job.

Poor lawyering at best, sounds more like a knowing violation of the Court's order. Either way, a pretty sad display. Around here, the fed's conviction rate is around 95%, most of which they keep on appeal. If this is any indication of how the feds treat cases there, I suspect that the conviction rate is lower and that the reversal rate is higher. What a waste of time and money.

Here's an old truth about the trial business: behind every acquittal is an incompetent prosecutor. Today is no different.

I suspect he will be retried. The prosecutors should have been more careful but that evidence was almost certainly coming in on rebuttal anyhow because the defense would have attacked Pettite's credibility.
