Re: [MLB] Roger Clemens may be in trouble
said by fatness :
I think you're wrong. Using that argument, there's no admissible physical evidence except what was collected by the police (or investigators).
Maybe I didn't explain myself well. There has been a lapse of time of 6 years. McNamee had this evidence in his personal possession for that 6 years. Over that time span he could have done anything to those items. He could have even tainted them himself. Now if he has knowingly suppressed evidence from an illegal activity I would assume he could now face charges. I would think him having this evidence at the time of the investigation with federal officers present and not turning it over would guarantee him prosecution.
Remember he told the whole truth and held nothing back.

| Yes, but investigators can evaluate the evidence themselves and come to conclusions about whether it's been tampered with, whether it's admissable evidence or not. It won't automatically be thrown out, or automatically be accepted (if it exists at all, which we don't know yet). This is a "wait and see" situation, not a "whatever McNamee has is already worthless" situation in my opinion.

I will agree with you on that.
I do think if he has anything at all it could very well damage him criminally because of the federal investigators and not turning it over then.

| Unless he can prove, to the satisfaction of the court, that the "evidence" was never out of his immediate possession during all that time, and nobody else had any access to it, and it is Clemens' beyond any doubt, I think he has an uphill battle ahead of him, provided this is a criminal investigation. |

I agree with that. But IF it's really what he says it is, chances are great that he kept it in a safe and private place, and didn't take it to parties to impress friends, you know?

But I agree that there will be far more weight given to testimony, if there is credible stuff, like Pettite. That's almost like an unbiased third party type of thing. |
