Disappointment of federal prosecutors about Roger Clemens’ case

The desire of the federal government connected with the case of Roger Clemens was following: they wanted to prove that this sportsman had lied before the Congress about administration of anabolic steroids and HGH. But the government couldn’t do it. It was expected that Andy Pettitte would tell the jury that Roger Clemens had told him that he had used the banned products during a conversation in 1999 or in 2000. But the affirmation of Andy Pettitee was shocking for prosecutors. This person claimed that he couldn’t affirm that Roger Clemens had used steroids and HGH because he was not sure.
In fact, were the prosecutors of Roger Clemens disappointed by the testimony of Andy Pettitte? This person swore for the 2008 Congressional hearings on intake of steroids in the Major League Baseball that Roger Clemens acknowledged that he had administered HGH. But he pronounced opposite testimony at the Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse in Washington.
Michael Attanasio, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, asked Andy Pettitte whether he may say that he is 50-50 that he has misunderstood Roger Clemens about HGH. Andy Pettitte answered that he is actually 50-50 about this factor.
When the prosecutors heard Pettitte’s answer, they became confused. They stated that Pettitte never said this way, when he was asked several times.
The U. S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton claimed that he understood that Andy Pettitte’s answer has been conflicted. In fact, his testimony was following: “I don’t know”.
The attorneys for Roger Clemens used the moment of the federal prosecutors’ embarrassment. They asked the judge to brush aside Andy Pettitte’s testimony because he was 50-50. According to the attorneys, he probably misunderstood the athlete Roger Clemens or he forgot the details of the conversation.  
The government has responded that the jury still allows taking in consideration the testimony of Andy Pettitte. ASUSA Dunham has confirmed that under federal rules jury is allowed to choose which affirmation to believe. This person hopes that the jury will disregard the testimony which doesn’t support the government.
Thus, the testimony provided by Andy Pettitte and his wife led to problems. Testimonies of Andy’s wife during the first trial resulted in the declaration of a mistrial by the judge Walton.
Pettitte claims that he is Roger Clemens’ friend. Clemens must also confirm that they are friends after the last testimony of Andy Pettitte.
