Abstract

As the lengthy retrial in the Roger Clemens perjury case proceeds, attorneys for both sides have already wrestled with what may be their most critical, yet difficult, task: selection of a neutral jury. Predictably, this case has garnered a slew of media coverage already, and a host of ancillary factors has placed additional significance on this selection process. Finding a neutral panel proved to be an arduous task in this case, particularly with former and prospective jurors publically questioning whether the entire trial is a waste of time and resources, and in light of the nature of the crimes charged against a man of Clemens’ stature. This accumulation of circumstances has propagated an increased likelihood of jury nullification.
