John Edwards... the REST of the story

[sabrina 1]

153. Elizabeth told her side of the story. She was married for 30 years. The side you are now taking as

fact, came from the mistress and a couple of political hacks who knew nothing of their 30 year marriage and had an ax to grind.

The majority of people who knew both of them throughout that long marriage, including their children, don't seem to agree with the diarist, nor has Edwards himself. Only a few not too credible or trustworthy individuals have ever said those things about Elizabeth.

The prosecution is a different matter, and should have been kept separate from Elizabeth's role as his wife. She did not cheat on her marriage. He did, but that is not a crime and should not even enter into any discussion about the trial.

The claim is that he used campaign funds to try to hide his mistress and the child. Personally. I want to see as much of the effort that has gone into this trial, go into prosecuting Wall Street Criminals. I hope he wins. For his children's sake especially, this needs to end. That is what his wife wanted also.

But no one is going to get sympathy for him by trashing his wife who is no longer able to defend herself. And the woman he chose to leave her for, is not a nice person. All married couples have problems. If they were that bad, Edwards should have filed for a divorce, but he did not. He wanted it all and he has paid a very heavy price for that already, and imo, that is more than enough. And the prosecution was initiated by a Republican. If Edwards was a Republican this would not be happening as we all know.
