WASHINGTON
Rusty Hardin is Clemens' defense attorney. But in December 2007,
he advised both Clemens and Pettitte just before the release of an
investigative report accusing both baseball players of using human
growth hormone. Clemens denies he used the substance. Pettitte
admits using it and has said Clemens admitted privately that he did
as well.
Prosecutors say having advised both players creates a conflict
of interest for Hardin and others in his firm who are representing
Clemens as he prepares for his perjury trial this summer.
The prosecutors have proposed that another member of Clemens'
legal team cross-examine Pettitte.
