I already said in the MLB thread that I don't buy it. But oh well.

Another question: Does not guilty mean innocent?

It is what it is dude, I'm glad it's finally over. He seems like a cool guy (not that I was paying any attention to it anyways)

Perjury - was accused of lying to congress when he denied taking PEDs.
I don't believe it ever does, in civil or criminal cases, simply that the case was not sufficiently proven beyond all reasonable doubt (criminal) or on the balance of probabilities (civil).

I am still wondering how the govt decided to spend tax dollars on this perjury case and not the Bill Clinton one? Who decides which perjury matters and which doesnt?

I asked the question that I did because of my next question. If he was found not guilty, do the voters have a leg to stand on in keeping him out of the HOF?

Major waste of tax dollars. This and the Bonds trial were huge fiasco's.

Why the federal government is involved in this crap I will never know.
Clemens innocent. What about the court of public opinion?

should have never been brought to trial in the first place. we have plenty of real problems in this world instead of wasting tax money to see if bonds or clemens was lying.
Government gets involved because MLB is exempt from antitrust laws which would otherwise serve as regulation. Some PEDs are illegal, so it also becomes a matter of legality and public safety. I'm pretty sure we all think it's a criminal misuse of resources, but MLB is at fault for failing to police their own back yard.
