With jury selection complete, both sides make their opening arguments in the trial of Roger Clemens for perjury. It is clear that the central issue will be the credibility of Clemensâ former trainer, Brian McNamee, who has supplied much of the prosecutionâs key evidence and will be its star witness. For its part, the defense argues that âClemensâ only crime was having the poor judgment of staying connected with McNameeâ, claiming that none of the allegations are founded and that the physical evidence is the result of tampering.
