Even if you’re not a baseball fan you’ve got to know that Hall of Fame bound (?) pitcher Roger Clemens has been indicted by a federal grand jury on six counts charging him with perjury, making false statements and obstruction of Congress. If convicted on all counts, he could face a $1.5 million fine and up to 30-years in prison.
Until a federal judge issue a gag order in the Clemens case, his lead liar (lawyer) made daily pronouncements that Roger never used any performance enhancing drugs and that his client was looking forward to having his day in court. Rusty Hardin's last statement before the gag order shut him up set a new standard for evidence of innocence.
Here is what Roger’s lead liar said:
__Sometime I want somebody, though, to maybe ask the question, ‘Isn’t his continued insistence at the risk of going to the penitentiary evidence that he didn’t do it?’ Isn’t that evidence maybe that he didn’t?
So according to Hardin we now have a new standard for evidence. If someone charged with a crime continues to insist over and over again that he didn’t do it, his repetitious denials must be considered evidence that he’s innocent. Now you know why Rusty is considered one of Texas’ top three criminal liars.
Thanks to Hardin’s new standard, we will be able to close down all but four or five prisons in this country. Why? Because almost all prison inmates insist every day that they ‘didn’t do it.’ Based on this new evidence of innocence, we’re going to have to release almost all prison inmates in the U.S.
My suggestion would be to have only one federal prison and, for state prisoners, to have one prison on the East Coast, preferably near the nation’s capital, and one prison each for the Midwest, the South, and the West.
Thanks to Rusty Hardin’s new standard of evidence, all the states can now breathe a sigh of relief. Their budget shortfalls will be all but wiped out. And they can also eliminate those costly DNA tests. Now why wasn’t Barry Scheck that brilliant with the Innocence Project?

Somehow I can't get all that excited about athletes using performance enhancing drugs. They've been doing it for years and will continue to do so.
Meanwhile, Iran is on the verge fo developing Nukes, they have a delivery system, North Korea has Nukes, Israel, our only friend in the mid east is being cut loose by our present administration and are about to be wiped off the map, our Southern border is a joke where illegals line up to cross like kids waiting to get on a ride at Disneyland. I could go on of course...
So a few athletes cheating to build up their bodies to overperform...you'll have to forgive me my lack of outrage.
I don't condone it, but I just can't get all that excited about it.
Besides Howie, this is hardly "a new standard for evidence." Congress has been doing this for years....
