• Clemens' Perjury Trial Ends

WASHINGTON - One minute Roger Clemens was on trial for his freedom. Then, on just the second day of testimony, it was suddenly all over and the former baseball star was outside signing autographs for fans. Almost as soon as it began, Clemens' perjury trial ended Thursday - in a mistrial the judge blamed on prosecutors and said a "first- year law student" would have known to avoid.

• Debunking the Perjury-Trap Myth*

• Former Cameron Aide Charged with Perjury

LONDON - The former top media adviser to Prime Minister David Cameron was arrested and charged with perjury Wednesday in the trial of a flamboyant ex-Scottish lawmaker - the latest case tied to allegations of wrongdoing by British tabloid newspapers. Andy Coulson, 44, was detained by Scottish police at his home in London Wednesday morning over an accusation related to testimony he gave in a high-profile case at Glasgow's High Court in 2010, when politician Tommy Sheridan was himself convicted of offering a false account in a legal hearing.
