They found him not guilty on one charge and were hung on the other five. It is unlikely that the authorities will try again. His statement afterwards, while outwardly apologetic, seemed to me to be more self serving than anything...

John Edwards Trial

bostonphil @bostonphil (4459) • United States 31 May 12

The jury came back with a not guilty on one charge and hung on all the others. The judge has declared a mistrial. I followed the trial just a little bit. It is very obvious that John Edwards engaged in very bad moral behavior...

Why John Edwards may go free

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 24 May 12

It seems that in the Campaign Finance Law the politicians slipped in a get out of jail free card. The law states that to be found guilty the politician had to know that they were violating the law. Not only does the Prosecutor...

John Edwards

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 14 May 12

Let's say he is found not guilty because as his defense is saying the money was a gift to him and not to his campaign. So then shouldn't the IRS be after him for not paying gift tax on the money? The limit is $12,000 per year for...

valentinesdiner @valentinesdiner (1214) • United States 3 Feb 10

We have really lowered our standards through the years. What is grounds for you to lose faith in a elected official? Is having an affair grounds for kicking an elected official to the curb? How about changing his/her...

John Edwards, a Sorry Son of a GUN.

ANTIQUELADY @ANTIQUELADY (36440) • United States 28 Jan 10

I don't know how y'all feel about him but i think he should be put in front of a firing squad to do what he has done to his wife, Elizabeth. I know most people will blame his girfriend & she of course shouldn't have done what she...

OMG a politician had an affair!

jazzistar79 @jazzistar79 (11) • United States 12 Aug 08

Why is it breaking news that John Edwards had an affair? Politician or not, he is still a man, and it's not exactly shocking to hear that a man cheated on his wife/girlfriend etc. If anything, it's pretty common and sorry to say...

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 28 Jan 08

I know I'll get plenty of answers from conservative Republicans, but that's not what I'm looking for; rather, I'm asking why he hasn't gotten more support from those who believe in the same things he does. He's really brought the...
