Who could blame them?

[Pedro Cerrano]

More proof that the legal profession is NOTHING like you see on TV.

Was the sleeping juror wearing a pair of glasses with eyes painted on them, like Homer Simpson?

I almost fell asleep watching that video.

I'll bet that more people fall asleep to Law & Order every year than jurors at trials.

Well yea, because they air it on TNT at 3 in the morning.

Haha yes, exactly. I meant to put one of the sarcastic faces (or whatever they're called) at the end of the sentence.

So falling asleep gets you out of jury duty. Noted.

Joe Angel and Mike Boddicker both testify for Clemens.

A baseball announcer testified Tuesday that he saw Roger Clemens at a golf course on the day in 1998 that prosecutors say Clemens attended a pool party at Jose Canseco's South Florida house.

Joe Angel, who was a broadcaster with the then-Florida Marlins at the time, said he saw Clemens around the pro shop at the Weston Hills Country Club between about 8:30 a.m. ET and 9 a.m. ET on June 9, 1998.

Also Tuesday, former pitcher Mike Boddicker, a teammate of Clemens with the Boston Red Sox from 1988 to 1990, recalled seeing Clemens get a vitamin B12 shot. Prosecutors say that Clemens' claim that he had received B12 injections was a cover story for steroids.

"I saw the vial," Boddicker said. "It said B12."

The government might have made a minor tactical mistake in cross-examining Boddicker, when prosecutor Steve Durham asked if there were secrets in the clubhouse. That opened the door to defense attorney Rusty Hardin to ask Boddicker if Clemens did anything privately that he didn't want the public to know about.

Yes, Boddicker said. Clemens would leave in uniform to see kids in the hospital.

Thanks for the update.

Joe Angel must have as good a photographic memory as I do, since he remembers the exact date and the exact time that he saw Clemens 14 years ago. In fact, it might be even better than mine (shudder). Unless something very, very memorable happened on that day in his life, how or why would Angel remember seeing Clemens specifically at that time and on that date ???

Obviously Angel was meeting Clemens there to pick up his own B-12 vials!

This whole ordeal is a waste of time and tax payers money. I'm not a fan of the Rocket, but I also could care less if he took steroids or not, or if he lied about it or not.

The probability is that golf course records provided both Clemens and Angel the date. All Angel had to recall was that he saw Clemens while he was at the course. That's still pretty remarkable, given that Angel was around baseball celebrities every day on his job, and that some of these guys hit the links every time they have the opportunity.

"I saw the vial," Boddicker said. "It said B12."

So did the one that Tejada injected into Palmeiro's rear. It's irrelevant. The defense is attempting to snow jurors with meaningless anecdotal evidence.

Exactly. With all of our modern technology, you have to believe that it's possible to find a way to paste a "B-12" label onto something that doesn't have any B-12 in it.

High-tech **** ....... like when an airline stewardess teaches everyone how to use a seat-belt during the safety lecture.

George Carlin, 1992.

[ledzepp8]

Okay let's just clear Clemens of all charges. Mike Boddicker has set the record straight about the vial having B12 in it, because it said B12 on it. What a ludicrous argument.

Come to think of it, last night at poker, the guys were eating Veggie Chips...OUT OF A TUB THAT SAID ANIMAL CRACKERS ON IT!!! WTF is going on?! I could have sworn I knew what an animal cracker looked like but now I'm super confused due to this new found logic.
