WASHINGTON -- On three occasions during his cross-examination of star prosecution witness Brian McNamee last month, defense attorney Rusty Hardin scoffed, "You just made that up, didn't you?"
It was a dramatic bit of trial rhetoric, but it was risky. Even in the hands of a master trial lawyer like Hardin, it is the kind of personal attack that can backfire if any juror was beginning to believe McNamee's account of injecting Roger Clemens with steroids and HGH.
