Roger Clemens Pleads Not Guilty To Six Felony Charges
Clemens faces six felony charges, including perjury, obstruction of Congress and making false statements after his testimony in front of a House of Representatives committee in 2008 regarding the use of performance enhancing drugs. He promptly denied the accusations, saying, “I look forward to challenging the Governments accusations, and hope people will keep an open mind until trial.”
