Clemens wins access to Mitchell Commission interview notes

The Blog of Legal Times reports that the motion by Roger Clemens defense lawyers to gain access to interview notes of George Mitchell's interrogations of witnesses (during his investigation of steroid use in baseball) has been granted in part.  Notes redacted of attorneys impressions, etc. (under the work product rule) will be turned over.  Clemens is entitled to the information in his defense against charges he perjured himself himself before Congress when he denied using performance enhancing drugs.

In a carefully hedged Order U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton has limited access to statements by Kirk Radomski and Brian McNamee which directly pertain to Roger Clemens.
