DENVER - The brother of Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards (news - web sites) pleaded innocent Monday to a 10-year-old charge of driving under the influence and was released on $5,000 bail pending trial.
Wesley Blake Edwards was allowed to return to his home in Fuquay-Varina, N.C., said Mike Knight, spokesman for the Arapahoe County district attorney's office.
A motions hearing was scheduled for Nov. 4 and a trial for Nov. 29. As a condition of his release, Edwards was ordered not to drink alcohol or drive without a license .
Edwards, 39, an electrician, was arrested in suburban Arapahoe County on Nov. 4, 1993, on suspicion of driving under the influence, careless driving and driving without insurance. A warrant was issued Jan. 6, 1994, after he failed to appear in court.
Harvey Steinberg, a lawyer who represents Edwards, contacted the district attorney's office after North Carolina newspapers reported details of the warrant. Arrangements had been made for Blake Edwards to turn himself in.
Edwards had three misdemeanor drunken-driving convictions in 1985, 1987 and 1990 in North Carolina, and his license was permanently revoked in 1990. He spent a week in jail on one of the convictions, records show.
Edwards has been charged twice with driving without a license, most recently in August. He pleaded guilty and paid a $100 fine.

Here's a different picture of him. I believe this was in his younger years.

Uh oh. A "three-namer". He can't be a good guy. John Edwards "real" name -- the name he went by until he ran for Senate -- is Johnny Reed Edwards.

Driving is only a $100 fine? Worth the risk you won't get caught, vs. taking the bus, paying for taxis, etc... I know of a case in Massachusetts where a person got drunk, drove a car off a bridge and killed a woman and still gets to be a U.S. senator.

If this were a republican vp candidate's brother this report would be all over the national tv media with a news conference.

Edwards will probably file a 10 million dollar lawsuit against the county alleging brain damage because they made him use a breathalizer and didn't do a blood test.

"WHY ISN'T HE IN JAIL IN COLORADO?"
Colorado? Well, good question as to why he is not in jail, somewhere.

Is that the house his brother bought for him that he's standing in front of?
