Seems obvious the libs on the panel are using jury nullification no matter what the evidence says...

What happens if the jury remains hung on the other charges. Does the one charge they agree on be the verdict or is that thrown out too?

More likely there is an Edwards plant or volunteer Edwards “groupie” that refuses to convict.

Previous stories referred to a female juror who kept making goo-goo eyes at Edwards. There’s your groupie, no doubt.

They aim to hang this man, by gawd.

Guy is despicable but I’m not convinced he broke any law or one of consequence.

Seems more like the continued distractions from Barack’s provenance.

I was actually hoping for an acquittal

he is a scumbag but he didn't do anything illegal (they all knew they were paying for the ho-bag), and searching for a technicality to hang him on is something i would never want done to anyone (especially me)

That woman is an alternate so she isn’t on the panel and that’s a good thing.

The scumbag was found Not Guilty on Count 3..surprise surprise, liberals on the jury giving googly eyes to Edwards let him get away with it. The rest of the counts will end in a mistrial
