Former all-star baseball pitcher Roger Clemens, center, and his attorney Rusty Hardin, left, arrive at U.S. District Court for a hearing to decide whether the trial against the former Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees pitcher should be retried in Washington, D.C. The original trial against Clemens was declared a mistrial after the judge said the prosecution presented inadmissible testimony that prejudiced the jury. A seven-time Cy Young Award winner, Clemens was on trial for allegedly making false statements, perjury and obstructing Congress when he testified about steroid use during a February 2008 inquiry by the House.
