Palmeiro will not be charged with perjury

[Bull]

according to BBC news. Not enough evidence. I would assume this means a) that it is theoretically possible that he started taking steroids after the hearing, or b) that the MLB test will ot stand up in court.

I think it means they cannot prove when he took the steroids that caused the positve test; therefore, they cannot be sure that he lied when he said in Februrary that he had never taken steroids.

Not that I particularly care that Palmiero isn't going to be charged, but it would be nice to see another professional athlete (aka Jamal Lewis) have to pay his debt to society for not following the rules.

To beat a perjury charge Raffy would just need reasonable doubt about whether he was juicing before testifying, so it would probably be impossible to convict him. Of course we all know he's almost certainly guilty.

That's what I was trying to say with point a.

THanks for clearing it up.

I would have liked to see this go to trial just to air some things out. You never know what else could be found out and with a rat like Raffy he may say anything to protect himself.
