My question is did he do this entirely on his own or was Edwards party to it?

You don't have to be a card carrying conspiracy theorist to imagine Young and Edwards sitting there over drinks somewhere, dreaming up ways to throw sand in the prosecution's gears.

Edwards' defense has always seemed somewhat shaky to me anyway. He's a lawyer too and an experienced campaigner so he knew what was a campaign contribution and what wasn't. And anybody who could put forth such a lame defense with a straight face could easily get his friend to derail the trial by contaminating the witness pool.

As with everything Edwards does, he thought he was too smart to get caught.
