In the discussion thread: John Edwards Not Guilty On One Count, Mistrial On 5 Counts [View all]

50. A lot of wasted taxpayer dollars over what basically amounts to being tried for adultery.

The Feds thought they could play to the emotions of the jury because the vast majority of people think Edward's actions were those of a scumbag. So they stretched the law to cover the charges, because there was no crime committed in this case, just some ambitious Fed attorneys bound and determined to "make their bones" by putting an high profile defendant in jail.

A total waste of time and taxpayer money.
