Clemens apparently deserved a mistrial.

Just drop it, DOJ. This is just embarrassing.

Really? That was either an epically bad jury pool or a crap voire dire by the prosecution.

The judge hasn't yet ruled on it. However, it's likely that he'll rule that Roger cannot be tried again on the same charges. Clemens will either be free of this after the Sept. 2 hearing, or he'll have an obvious issue on appeal.

'Possible', certainly. But the prosecution never even truly began it's case-in-chief, let alone wrapped it up. And as this case was clearly not decided based on the merits, I'm not sure how a court would determine there was any double jeopardy here. The obvious issue is the fact that a jury was selected and there could be prejudice to the defendant by now subjecting him to a 2nd jury. But with the court having no earthly idea how jury 1 would have ruled (afterall, maybe this saves Rocket's ass), I think they would be reluctant to engage in that much speculation and call it a double-jeopardy matter. Now this is bad prosecuting. That's probably the singled dumbest thing I've ever even heard of an attorney doing. It's just staggering that a US Attorney could've been that careless. Somebody should lose their job over it, for sure.
