Easy to walk back your testimony on your friend when you’re not under oath anymore. Pettitte was a genuinely nice guy and likely more honest then most. One of the only players to come clean after the Mitchell report came out. I don’t think he told the entire truth while he was under oath, but he told more then most. He certainly told more truth then Roger, who didn’t have the same reservations telling bald faced lies under testimony.

If the best/only evidence is Pettitte testifying under oath that he was 50/50 on if he had heard Clemens right and he didn't really know, well, that's how you know there's no actual evidence. There's a good reason Clemens was acquitted of perjury for his claims before Congress that he never used steroids - nobody can find any proof he did.
