WASHINGTON -- Roger Clemens was acquitted of all counts against him on Monday.
The seven-time Cy Young winner was accused of lying to Congress during an investigation into steroid use among major league players. The case against Clemens involved one count of obstruction of Congress, three counts of making false statements and two counts of perjury. A jury found him not guilty on all six counts.
This was the second trial for Clemens. About a year ago, a mistrial was declared before the case reached the jury.
