Jurisprudence
Jury acquits Clemens on all six counts
WASHINGTON - Roger Clemens was acquitted Monday on all charges that he obstructed and lied to Congress in denying he used performance-enhancing drugs during his pitching career.
Deliberations were relatively brief after the 10-week trial. Jurors returned their verdict after close to 10 hours over several days. Clemens, 49, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, was acquitted of all six counts stemming from an appearance before a congressional committee in February 2008.
Perry pleads not guilty at arraignment
Former Arizona Wildcats basketball player Jesse Perry pleaded not guilty to three charges of felony domestic violence Monday in Pima County Superior Court.
Perry, who returned from his home in St. Louis to appear at the arraignment, now faces a July 19 case management conference in Superior Court.
Perry had a pretrial hearing in Pima County Justice Court last month, during which Judge Jack Peyton ruled that three of the four felony charges against him had probable cause.
The alleged victim, 22, testified in Pima County Justice Court last month that she "went black" after Perry choked her repeatedly during an incident at his apartment complex in the early-morning hours of April 20.

He chose the UA over offers from 13 other schools, including Arizona State, Boise State and Minnesota. Wright, 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, has yet to be rated by the recruiting services. Arizona was his first offer.

Saints put $35,000 price on Favre's head
NEW YORK - The NFL went public Monday with some of its evidence against the four players suspended for their roles in the New Orleans Saints bounty program. Among the things the league revealed: a prize of $35,000 or more for knocking Brett Favre out of the NFC championship game in January 2010.
The evidence included handwritten notes, documents from the Saints' computer system and witness testimony.
NFL lead counsel Jeff Pash showed reporters the material at the end of a day when the suspended players - Will Smith, Anthony Hargrove, Scott Fujita and Jonathan Vilma - had appeals hearings with commissioner Roger Goodell at NFL headquarters in Manhattan.
