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.

Gee if the guy wants to kill himself, all the better, no costs of incarceration. Give him a gun with one bullet.

This is the man the DEMOCRAT party wanted to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

It would be the first time (and only time) he would have ever saved the taxpayers money.

Error 500 Internal sympathy server error

The individual John Edwards importuned with his smarmy, weepy, crocodile-teared plee for sympathy encountered a not unexpected condition that prevented them from fulfilling the request by the self-serving, malignant narcissist a-hole in question.

Edwards should enjoy his social life in prison.

Psychopaths never commit suicide but are clever enough to use the threat of it to manipulate people.”

This guy is so narcissistic, he’d kill himself before he would ever kill himself.

I'd guess about 100% of all people facing a criminal trial and possible jail time feel deeply depressed and consider suicide, however briefly, at some point. Paraphrasing Frazier Crane, if you used a tunneling electron microscope, you still couldn't detect my interest in or sympathy for this man and his problems.

“Talk about a guy who wouldnt last 3 minutes in prison. Wow.”

He’ll be incarcerated (while he waits for his presidential pardon) at an Air Force or Navy facility where he’ll live in officer’s quarters and spend his time playing golf.

Don’t Google Images search on Dwyer, unless you want to see a pic of blood pouring out of his nose.
