John Edwards' daughter leaves courtroom crying

[Hermes Daughter]

36. Her real name...

... was Lisa Druck. Druck was from Florida where he father had been indited in a grisley racket electrocuting horses for the insurance money. She spent time in NYC and is known as the model for Jay McInerney's character, Alison Poole, in "Story of My Life." Alison Poole also appeared briefly in Bret Easton Ellis' novels "American Psycho" and "Glamorama." Poole/Druck later married Kip Hunter, son of Patsy Ramsey's prosecutor and lived in Beverly Hills, wrote and, in one instance, pitched a reality show on "how to break up a bad marriage by sleeping with the husband." Poole/Druck/Hunter then went back to NYC and formed a production company with friend, Mimi Hochman. Hochman was an event planner with a website that listed her main client as VC firm Kelso & Co. and its CEO, Frank Nickell. All but one of the principals of Kelso & Co were graduates of UVA, UNC, Duke, Clemson, Wake Forest, and other colleges in Virginia and the Carolinas. Most were lawyers.

Druck was drinking with friends at the Regency Hotel in NY the night Edwards was staying there. When he returned from an event late that night, she was waiting outside for him. As he approached, she walked up to him and said, "You're so hot," or words to that effect.

Edwards was disliked by the legal crowd in NC and Virginia for two reasons. His stand on Tort Reform and the credit he was given for defending Bill Clinton from impeachment. The main opponent of tort reform is the Council for National Policy located in Fairfax, Virginia.

These are the main connections and motives I know of surrounding Edwards take down but I surmise, like you do, that...

...he chose to seek comfort from someone who pretended to be understanding and offered what appeared to be joy and fun?
