This isn't a court of law, it's a court of public opinion and the standards aren't as high. Please don't make me invoke the name of OJ...that's just low hanging fruit.
We all know he did them...the circumstantial evidence is bigly.
Do YOU think Clemens was clean? Pettitte was Clemens best baseball friend for years...and even HE couldn't bring himself to clearing Clemens name. Do you, in a million years think Pettitte did HGH...but Clemens was completely clean?
At least Pettitte showed some sort of remorse and admittance after he got caught. Clemens was from the school of deny, deny, deny and hire a bunch of high priced lawyers to "get him off".
BTW, the worst thing that happened to Clemens is he's been denied a memorial in an old baseball building after his career was over. Him and Bonds and McGwire and Sosa and A-Rod and Palmiero and etc., etc., etc....lives didn't end when that happened. They're all going to be fine...and if not...it's not going to be because of that.
...and if they go in....it doesn't mean they're "exonerated" or "innocent". Just means that the wheels turned in their favor.......again.
