Disgraced politician John Edwards is said to be deeply depressed - to the point of being suicidal - over the prospect of a criminal trial that could end with him being jailed if found guilty.
The 57-year-old former Presidential candidate reportedly told a close friend: 'I won't go to jail. I'd kill myself first!'
He has lost 20lb in the last year and is a 'broken spirit,' reports the National Enquirer.
According to the Enquirer, a close source said: 'I think John is suicidal. He knows that if he's indicted, prosecutors will try to get him to serve jail time and make an example of him.
'He's absoluetly despondent over the fear of prison.
'Over the last year, he's lost about 20lb and friends are concerned that he's escaping reality with booze.

"Mr. Edwards, I understand that you used a basic grass roots campaign to win, met lots of people, shook lots of hands, kissed lots of babies. I even heard that you kissed a parakeet!"
The new Mayor replied, "That's right young man. I brought the campaign to the people, but I must correct you on one point, I did not kiss a parakeet ... I did say I kissed a Cock-or-two in prison."
There’s good news and bad news, John.
The bad news is the boy in the cell block are waiting for you with eager anticipation.
The good news is you’ll never be constipated again.
Yo. "Homey, once me an Jose here are done with you, your culo is going to be THIS wide, maing!"
Actually, the National Enquirer has always been out to get dirty politicians or Christian leaders.
It does a good job on that.
He must have channeled Bubba.
This guy was Gore’s VP candidate - “a heartbeat away from the Presidency”, had the two of them been elected.
I always thought he was the ideal candidate for Democrats, as he epitomized (and capitalized on) Democrat voters’ obsession with getting their hands on the “free stuff” confiscated for them from taxpayers and handed over in exchange for their votes.
Character, honesty, shame, integrity... none of this has any relevance whatsoever to the typical Democrat.
It’s all about the “free stuff” and John Edwards was their man.
He was perfect, and the Democrats are not lamenting his failings, they are only lamenting that he got caught.
Brutal
Brutal
"Peter Gibbons, you have led a trite and meaningless life, and you are a very... BAD person!"
I’d hit him until he lied there, in the foetal position, sobbing softly to himself and nuturing his black-and-blue bruises.
Please, please, please....
‘He’s absoluetly despondent over the fear of prison.
He must figure he’d have too many boy friends. Butt buddies so to speak.
Good. He richly deserves his comeuppance.
Precisely correct. Edwards is the ultimate narcissist.
I imagine he will end up writing briefs and providing free legal services in exchange for "protection".
He'll end up President of his cell block, his dreams realized at last!
He sure picked a bad year to be the white, anglo-saxon, democrat male candidate.
Spouses are allowed to testify against each other. The law is that they cannot be compelled to do so. That is, there is no "contempt" or similar sanction that can be used should a spouse refuse to testify; hence a court won't order a spouse to testify. But they darn well might ask, and a prosecutor might use certain devices to encourage "voluntary" cooperation.
More phony promises...
Lead to the head... or a jack hammer to the sphincter!
I’m sure it’s a tough call for a pussy like John.
Of course he could use the defense that he’s just “too pretty to be in prison”
