Jury begins deliberations on ‘most important day’ for John Edwards

The defence claims that Edwards, who maintains his innocence, did not seek or
accept the money. They say the payments were personal gifts meant to keep
the affair and Hunter’s pregnancy concealed from Edwards’ cancer-stricken
wife, Elizabeth.

“As many are his moral wrongs, he has not committed a legal one,” Mr Lowell
said. “There is not the remotest chance that John violated federal campaign
laws, let alone felonies.”

The former senator for North Carolina faces a total of six felony counts on
charges including conspiring to solicit the money, receiving more than the
$2,300 allowed from any one donor and failing to report the payments as
contributions.

Each count carries a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $250,000
fine.
