News Flash: Clemens indicted for perjury

August 19, 2010

According to this Michael McCann story on the Sports Illustrated website.

Clemens “was indicted Thursday on six counts of federal perjury, false statement and obstruction of Congress charges. While Clemens is undoubtedly worried about the prospect of a conviction and possible prison sentence — under Title 18 of the U.S. Code, a defendant convicted on these charges may be sentenced to up to five years in prison for each count — an indictment is a long way from a conviction. That is especially true for someone of Clemens’s wealth and capacity to afford a ‘legal dream team.'”

If this doesn’t generate an additional book or two on its own, it will at least justify an updated versions of previous titles such as American Icon: The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America’s Pastime and The Rocket That Fell to Earth: Roger Clemens and the Rage for Baseball Immortality.
