Judge Declares Mistrial in Roger Clemens Perjury Case

The federal judge presiding over Roger Clemens’s perjury trial declared a
mistrial because the prosecution revealed information Thursday that he had
previously deemed inadmissible.

The United States District Court Judge Reggie Walton abruptly stopped the trial
and scolded the prosecution for playing a videotape of the 2008 Congressional
hearings on performance-enhancing drug use in baseball. The part of the tape
that worried him included comments made by Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, a Maryland
Democrat, about the credibility of Andy Pettitte, Clemens’s former best friend
and teammate, who is expected to be one of the star witnesses for the
government.
