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.

The Breck girl in prison . . . hmmmmmmmm . . . could make for a neat reality show, wouldn’t it? Since he’s good at “channeling” like he did in court, wonder if his cell mate would “channel” him for free????
You know I always thought he was a little bit of a drama queen and then he goes and proves it.!Sorry John but my Give a ____ is broken....
His dance card would be full, that’s for sure.
Leaders of free world
Please send him up the river with all haste...
He should get his hair done. That will make him feel better.
I wonder who pushed this story over the edge? Was it Hillary or Obama?
Quick! Does he have access to a gun or ammunition?
Just asking in case he needs to borrow one I’d be happy to loan it to him however he only would be permitted to shoot it once.
Oh my.
What would he know about reality?
I hate to sound compasionless, but...
This is a guy that made his fortune sueing people & companies into bankruptcy—a true ambulance chaser in ever sense of the word.
When he was destroying others via the courts, where was his compassion?
“’I’d kill myself first!’ John Edwards ‘suicidal’ over facing jail, claim pals”
bye bye.
Well, let me be the first to say that "I for one will not stand in your way!"
Watch out for the cornhole, John...
This lying sos needs to channel some happy thoughts from somewhere.
Shortly after his resignation Profumo began to work as a volunteer cleaning toilets at Toynbee Hall, a charity based in the East End of London, and continued to work there for the rest of his life (died in 2006).
He didn't have to. He wasn't sentenced to do it. He had money -- this wasn't "the only job he could get". Profumo did it to pay back society for the shame he had put upon his office.
What the hell has Edwards ever done to indicate his remorse??
