GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Jurors in John Edwards campaign corruption trial said Friday they were deadlocked on most charges because the former presidential contender never actually received any money from two wealthy donors to hide his pregnant mistress, and they didn’t believe the star witness’ account of the cover-up.
On network talk shows, even jurors who thought Edwards was guilty on at least some of the six counts of campaign finance fraud said the prosecution simply didn’t have enough evidence. The jurors did not say what the split was, in terms of guilty votes.
