Judge Walton has not yet announced whether he will allow David Segui to testify in trial linked with Roger Clemens

Federal prosecutors hope that the judge Reggie Walton will permit the former Major League Baseball player David Segui to present testimony in the trial related to the case of Roger Clemens. This player had a conversation with Brian McNamee, the former coach of Roger Clemens. It is confirmed that they have spoken about usage of steroids by the former celebrated baseball player.
Brain McNamee was called to testify against Roger Clemens because he turned out to be the only person who had direct knowledge about administration of steroids and other related products by Clemens. Furthermore, Brian McNamee kept a beer can with vials, syringes and needles which were allegedly mixed with Roger Clemens’ blood. DNA analysis was conducted in order to confirm whether it was Clemens’ blood.
Rusty Hardin, a defense attorney for Roger Clemens, claimed that the steroid evidence was thought up by Brian McNamee after the interpellation by federal prosecutors.
But prosecutors claimed that David Segui told them that Brian McNamee said that he kept some things as evidence of steroid use by certain players in 2001. It was several years before Roger Clemens’ former trainer became the target of the investigation.
Information provided by Segui to federal prosecutors differed totally from that provided to Jim Baumbach, a sportswriter. His affirmations presented to Jim Baumbach were published in an article in 2008. According to that piece of news, David Segui claimed that he had never spoken about steroids with his friend Brian McNamee.
David Segui found out about involvement of Brian McNamee into the trial of Roger Clemens only in 2006, when he read a piece of news in the Los Angeles Times.
David Segui was quite open in his discussions about personal application of steroids and other related medications. He said that players of the Major League Baseball asked him many times whether he had used steroids. The former Major League Baseball first baseman admitted that he had taken them. But David Segui confirmed that he had never spoken about administration of steroids with Brian McNamee.
David Segui supported McNamee’s decision to store evidence about administration of banned substances by his clients. According to Segui, it is a reasonable decision because sometimes innocent guys are blamed but guilty guys are covered. Thus, Brian McNamee could help to disclose the truth.
Although federal prosecutors asked the judge Walton to permit Segui to testify in the trial linked with Roger Clemens, it is unclear yet whether the judge will allow it.
