6. Rulings by the FEC and IRS are decsions of LAW not FACT

As decisions of LAW, reserved to review by the Judge. The issue for the Jury is did Edwards do an act that violated the statutes he was charged with. We have to remember under our system of Justice, issues of law are reserved to the Judge, but issues of FACT is reserved to the Jury. Thus the decisions of the FEC and IRS as to the LAW is NOT relevant to deciding the FACTS of this case. Thus the determinations of the FEC and the IRS were excluded.
