The judge overseeing the perjury trial of famed former pitcher Roger Clemens declared a mistrial Thursday after prosecutors played a portion of a video that the jude deemed prejudicial.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said prosecutors erred in playing video of congressional testimony referencing statements made by the wife of a "critical" witness in the case.

The declaration came on just the second day of testimony and after it took a week to pick a jury.
