The judge in the perjury trial of Roger Clemens, the former New York Yankees pitcher accused of lying to Congress by denying he used performance-enhancing drugs, said he is considering dismissing a fourth juror, who plans to travel to Germany on June 19.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton in Washington told lawyers for Clemens and the government today about the juror, who will be out of the country for six months. Walton previously dismissed three other jurors, leaving just one alternate.
