<<<<<<<< After nine days of deliberations, Pretty Boy Edwards has just been declared NOT guilty on one count, "count three," of the criminal complaint against him, but there is a "hung jury" on all remaining counts, I originally reported this as a "guilty" verdict.
Update #3 - . Understand that "count three" was the prosecution's strongest point in the case against Edwards. Looks like this piece of work is going to walk on all charges, but that is just a guess. I remind the readership of this fact: this case was Eric Holder's Department of Justice against John Edwards. You know what I think? Just another example of gross incompetence on the part of Eric "Me and Obama Are Pals" Holder.
Many believed, from "day
one" of this trial, that John Edward's disgusting activity would not
be found to include any criminally illegal activity. The common legal
opinion held that this was matter of campaign abuse and should have been dealt
with as a civil case. The fact that Edwards orchestrated a rather
involved cover-up is evidence that he knew, full well, of the reality of
his actions, but, again, that does not mean that he saw his abuse as
criminal.
As I write, Edwards is being accompanied by his daughter,
also a lawyer and one who helped craft his defense.
Count Three has to do
with the case against Edwards with regards to his use or misuse of the funds
donated by Rachel Bunny Mellon, a contributor to Edward's campaign.
The defense is asking for a mistrial on all charges. The persecution wants the jury to reach a full decision. Usually, under such situations, the verdict will be read.
Update: the judge has sent the jury back into the jury room.
