Thumbnail sketches of the eight female and four male jurors who will decide whether pitcher Roger Clemens lied to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs, following Tuesday's dismissal of a second juror for falling asleep during the trial. The dismissed juror, from Seat 1, was replaced by the juror in Seat 7, who had been the first alternate. The biographical information comes from public statements by the jurors themselves during jury selection:

Knows a lot of people who took performance-enhancing drugs, but says PEDs were not for him. Thought 2008 congressional hearings on steroids were "excessive."
