In a devastating act of ultimate revenge, a dying Elizabeth Edwards recorded a bombshell secret videotape for prosecutors – nailing her cheating husband John as he will stand trial on charges that could land him behind bars for 30 years.
That’s the stunning secret behind the federal indictment brought against the disgraced former presidential candidate on June 3 – following a two-year grand jury investigation into whether he illegally used campaign funds to cover up his affair with his then-pregnant mistress Rielle Hunter.
“Elizabeth wanted to exact revenge against John for destroying their 33-year marriage and family by cheating with Rielle,” source close to the scandal told ENQUIRER.
“It was Elizabeth’s idea to secretly record a video and tell what she knew of the affair and John’s horrific betrayal.”

Well, I was told once on a FR religious thread that I was evil for thinking EE was one mean lady. Nice to be vindicated from beyond the grave...
Sour grapes from the grave are not admissible testimony
Revenge from the grave. I bet God is smiling, too.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
And here I thought Reille was the one who got nailed.
Amen
If the feds a using this for evidence, it has to go beyond sour grapes over his infidelity. Infidelity isn’t a crime. She must also have had the scoop on his money issues.
Or maybe it's...
"Revenge is a dish best served when you are cold."
Not if they are from 'beyond the grave'.
If she was properly deposed, this is evidence, and much like a dying declaration.
She knew where the skeletons were, and if nothing else has given probable cause to dig deeper and marked the spots.
She was an angry, bitter woman and it showed in her appearance. Still, she looked better than Reille. Cheating on your wife is bad enough. Cheating with a woman who looks like Rod Stewart is pathetic!
Or....Nail the coffin first, then the tramp.
Hard to believe she would do that to her children.
TWIMC:
Elizabeth Edwards was imperfect, as you and I. She didn’t deserve a dead son, cancer, an early grave, or the infidelity of her wretched husband.
God disposes. Her accounts are settled. Speak no ill of the dead. If you still have issues over her earthly sins, pray for her soul, or work on your own.
The defense cannot cross examine, makes for great tabloid news but its not admissible.
Mat 6:14-15 (NIV) “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But, if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
But dying declarations are.
The rules regarding testimony are more complex than you seem to realize.
Don’t count on it, this slim ball will talk his way out of it. He didn’t get to where he is financially by following the rules.
Sure I’m not a lawyer. I also know that any decent defense lawyer could tie this stuff up for a LONG time.
Its a stupid stunt
