WASHINGTON (AP) — Jurors have found Roger Clemens not guilty on all charges of perjury.
Clemens was charged with lying to Congress in 2008 when he denied using steroids or human growth hormone.
The former pitcher faced a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine if he had been convicted on all six counts.
The jury received the case last Tuesday afternoon and then deliberated for 3½ hours Wednesday before breaking for the week. They resumed deliberations this morning and came to their decision around 3:30 p.m.
