In a shocking turn of events John Edwards was found Not Guilty on 1 count of campaign finance violations.
The AP Reports:
"John Edwards was acquitted on one count of accepting illegal campaign contributions and a mistrial was declared on five other counts when jurors said Thursday they couldn't decide if he illegally used donor money to hide his pregnant mistress while he ran for president.
Edwards did not react when the verdict and mistrial were announced, but he was happy and smiling earlier when the jury said it had reached a verdict on one count after nine days of deliberations.
The jury found Edwards not guilty one count of illegal campaign contributions involving $375,000 wealthy heiress Rachel "Bunny" Mellon gave in 2008.
The trial recounted the most intimate details of Edwards' affair with Hunter, including reference to a sex tape of the two together that was later destroyed. It also rehashed the elaborate cover-up that involved his most trusted aide, the aide's wife, an elderly heiress and a wealthy Texas donor."
