The verdict was reached after seven weeks of testimony against Clemens. Jurors listened to more than 40 witnesses including his wife, former players, New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman and a housekeeper.

Clemens played 24 seasons for four teams and finished his career with a 354-184 record and 4,672 strikeouts. He was named the American League MVP in 1986 and was a seven-time Cy Young award winner.
