		<description>SJ:

Sorry I didn&#039;t respond sooner. I got a little busy there. 

A perjury indictment now seems like more trouble than it&#039;s worth. McNamee&#039;s credibility is pretty poor. His answers today become part of the eventual trial record if there is a trial. Pettitte, sorry to say, even has credibility problems now. But Roger&#039;s attack on Pettitte&#039;s testimony is one of faulty recall, not fabrication. 

Perjury cases need to be rock crushers, not chin pullers. If the jury has to wonder, then I think you are looking at reasonable doubt and even the overzealous Ivy Leaguers at Main Justice will have to take a pass on this one. (Assuming there is no new evidence of course). 

Plus, as I wrote earlier, assuming arguendo that McNamee injected Rocket, how do we even know he shot him with Steroids or HGH without scientific analysis? You can&#039;t take McNamee&#039;s word for it and Radmoski wasn&#039;t there and there are chain of custody issues out the wazoo. If Clemens is to be tried for lying about using steroids, doesn&#039;t the Government have to prove he actually took steroids?</description>

		<description>My God! Is Waxman being paid by McNamee? His summary includes only a few of dozens of conclusions, that all happen to go against Roger, and then APOLOGIZES to McNamee!!!

SJ44 - SAY SOMETHING! How inappropriate was Waxman&#039;s conclusion?</description>

		<description>Mark Alan,

The fact that our tax dollars are being wasted on this nonsense is not to be ignored; in fact, it&#039;s a major, unspoken part of the story.  It&#039;s a shame that we can&#039;t get this kind of vigorous investigation from our duly elected officials on matters of import.</description>

He might not be convicted in a court of law. But Roger will be convicted in a court of public opinion.

Especially when the court of public opinion is partially composed of people prone to hysterical commentary and overuse of exclamation points like you.</description>
