Hernandez Girlfriend/Fiancee Arraigned On Perjury Charge
((HT: MyFoxBoston))
Depending on which side of the judicial world you ask, Shayanna Jenkins is either Aaron Hernandez's girlfriend or fiancee...
And the girlfriend/fiancee was in court today to answer to her perjury charge...
She was released on a personal recognizance after her arraignment in Fall River (MA) Superior Court. Prosecutors had sought $5,000 cash bail. And this is the prosecution's attempt to put pressure on her in order for her to flip and be a witness against her boyfriend/fiancee...
Remember, if she's regarded as a fiancee, she can't testify against Hernandez- which would be HUGE!!!
The prosecution, back in August, maintains that Jenkins lied to the grand jury- including information (or a lack of information) about where she allegedly threw out a box Hernandez asked her to “get rid of” after the Odin Lloyd murder.
Here's the hearing in full...

The perjury charge carries a max of 20 years...
Defense attorney Janice Bassil said in open court that Jenkins answered every question in front of the grand jury and there's no evidence of perjury. Jenkins was also granted immunity for her testimony.

DEVELOPING: 3 Ex-Penn State Officials Held Over For Trial
Penn State ex-president Graham Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz have been bound for court on the charges against them in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case.
Dauphin County Judge William Wenner found enough evidence to warrant a trial for three after a two-day preliminary hearing in Harrisburg.
Former Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary testified as part of the hearing that Curley and Schultz knew what was going on...
Here's the update after his testimony...
((HT: ABC27 Harrisburg))
abc27 WHTM
Spanier's grand jury testimony during the Sandusky trial was read in open court in the morning session where it was disclosed that, according to Pennlive's Charles Thompson:
Prosecutors alleged that Spanier lied when:
He told the grand jury investigating former Penn State football assistant Jerry Sandusky that he never understood the 2001 incident to involve the abuse of a child.
He told the same panel that he was never made aware of any prior accusations against Sandusky. Records show Spanier was copied on at least some of the updates between Schultz and Curley on that case.
Schultz and Curley are already charged with perjury and the prosecution has to prove the statements were false to get a conviction to stick.

Spanier Arraigned In Sandusky Case
((HT: WHP-TV))
Graham Spanier, the former president at Penn State appeared in court today facing charges from his alleged involvement in the Jerry Sandusky scandal. He didn't speak to the media. Spanier's attorney, Elizabeth Ainslie, spoke for the both of them on the charges:
“It is absolutely ridiculous. Dr. Spanier was never given a chance to speak to this grand jury to give his side of the story and we look forward to the chance to present his side of the story in the future.”
Here is Spanier walking into court not answering questions...
Spanier was arraigned on charges of:
Endangering the Welfare of Children
Perjury
Obstruction
Criminal Conspiracy, and
Failure to report child abuse
Bond was set at $125,000. But the bond is unsecured, there is no cost involved unless he doesn't show up for his next court date of November 16th. Spanier was also told to forfeit his passport and that he can't leave the state of Pennsylvania.

DEVELOPING: Spanier Charged In Sandusky Case
((HT: WHP-TV))
The HQ figured we weren't far from this, but the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper is reporting that former Penn State President Graham Spanier has been charged in connection to the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
A source told the newspaper's Paula Reed Ward that Attorney General Linda Kelly will announce at a noon presser that Spanier is facing perjury and obstruction of justice charges.
**Update**--That source was correct.
Spanier was forced to resign a year ago because of what went down...
The comprehensive report sanctioned by the school that former FBI Director Louis Freeh released said that Spanier knew about Sandusky and his history on campus, but he (Spanier) consulted with other university officials to cover the accusations up... which, of course, he and his lawyers deny.
WHTM TV in Harrisburg, PA gives us the Attorney General's press conference: abc27 WHTM
From the Reed Ward piece:
Mr. Spanier said he never knew any details about the 2001 incident, and that at the time he was simply given a "heads-up" that others in his administration were dealing with Sandusky for engaging in "horseplay" in the shower.
The day before Mr. Spanier made those statements to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, attorneys on his defense team characterized the Freeh report as a "blundering and indefensible indictment." Further, they said they didn't believe the state attorney general had a "scintilla of evidence" that could support charges similar to those faced by Mr. Schultz and Penn State athletic director Tim Curley.
Spanier's attorney released a video taped statement. (Thanks WHP-TV):

Clemens Round Two: Jury Says Not Guilty
Former major league pitcher Roger Clemens was indicted in August of 2010 before his first trial ended in a mistrial last summer when the federal prosecutors attempted to disclose evidence that had already been ruled inadmissable...
The second time around as Clemens was accused of lying to Congress (six counts of perjury, making false statements, and obstructing Congress), the verdict came back "not guilty" on all counts...
CSN Bay Area's Ray Ratto put it well on his Twitter feed...
And that is why Rusty Hardin gets paid.
Here's the original testimony, in part from 2008...

Clemens Trial v 2.0- Day Five
((HT: MyFoxDC))
So, let's try this again...
Roger Clemens, trial, perjury, Washington DC, blah, blah, blah...
There was a victory by the defense in that when Andy Petitte testifies, he can talk about his taking HgH, but he can't say where he got it from...
The prosecution told the jury that Clemens told "other lies to cover up lies."
Here's the quick version...

Clemens Round Two: Jury Selection Begins
((HT: MyFoxHouston))
And the number of prosecutors has increased so there won't be another mistrial like Round One.
The reason for more man-power...???
On the second day of testimony last time, prosecutors showed evidence to the jury that had been ruled inadmissible. And that was that...
Remember why we're here in the first place...???
Clemens was accused of lying under oath when he testified before Congress four years ago when he said he had never used PED's during his career.
Right...
ERA's decrease naturally as we all get older...

Clemens Trial Day 1: Jury Selection
((HT: MyFoxDC/CSNWashington))
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton started into the jury selection phase of the trial against Roger Clemens- trying to trim 125 to 12 and four alternates. The judge has said he hopes to start by early next week for a trial that is expected to last a month or so.
Clemens has not been charged with drug crimes, but is accused of lying about drug use-telling a House committee under oath in 2008 that he never used performance-enhancing drugs. That self-assessment flies in the face of testimony from trainer Brian McNamee and teammate Andy Pettitte.
Clemens is charged with six felony counts, including perjury, false statements and obstruction of Congress, which carry a maximum sentence of up to 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine. Just know, though, that he won't go that long in prison if convicted since he doesn't have a criminal record...
Just good ol' fashioned Texas bravado...
Here's enthralling video of Clemens walking into the courthouse this morning...
