There's so much said about the BBQ. Other than credability, why is the BBQ so important?[/QUOTE]


It's not. In a court of law it would be called a "collateral issue", one that isn't even pertinent to the case. If Clemens was found to have lied about being there, he couldn't even be prosecuted for perjury because the lie is not about a "material fact"

When I turned the radio on to drive to the Fall River courthouse, the first question I heard was, "Mr. Clemens do you suffer from anemia" as one guy grilled him about all of the legitimate medical uses for B-12 That one guy really got in his face about his ridiculous "it was B-12 and my momma told me it was good for me"

Thats what I thought. Pretty much saw the whole thing today. Working later today.
I think his lawyers have alot more work to do. Clemens really lost today.
