Kendall Coffey on Perjury and Steroids
Legal analyst, Kendall Coffey comments on what he considers one of the low points of 2008, in his website, “Legal Commentary and Analysis by Kendall Coffey.” He discusses one of the major issues of the ongoing baseball steroids saga.
Kendall Coffey focuses on pitching superstar Roger Clemens, who launched an astonishing publicity offensive against the ex-trainer who accused him of using steroids, releasing a secretly recorded tape of their conversation and suing for defamation.
But after placing himself at the focal point of the steroids scandal, the NY Yankees pitchers’ rebuffs under oath before Congress were opposed not only by his ex-trainer but also by Clemens’ friend, pitcher Andy Pettitte. A Congressional appeal allowed investigation for possible perjury made by Clemens. Recently, the FBI is supposedly examining the DNA in syringes and gauze purportedly used by Clemens.
Kendall Coffey said, “Clemens should be wondering whether his samurai press strategies assured that the telescopes would remain focused on the Rocket Man at a time when he may have wanted to play the Invisible Man.”
Kendall Coffey is a successful attorney with over three decades of experience. He finished with honors his bachelors at the University of Florida where he also received his Juris Doctor with top honors. During law school Coffey was the editor and senior student works editor for the University of Florida Law Review.
