Why JE must be discredited at all costs.

18. 8-4 in favor of acquittal, and at least some jury members did not trust the star witness

plus in the MSNBC interview, the jurors said the campaign laws are too murky. Of course, they were dealing with pre-Citizens-United campaign laws. We are pretty close to no campaign finance laws at this time.

From Politico:

News reports that the jurors generally leaned in favor of acquitting Edwards are likely to confirm the Justice Department’s inclinations not to try the case again. NBC reported Friday morning that jurors split 8-4 for Edwards on the unresolved campaign finance charges and that only one juror favored convicting Edwards on a charge that he caused the filing of false reports with the Federal Election Commission.

Jurors listened during the trial to a star government witness who struggled under cross-examination, to confusing campaign finance rules and to murky instructions about how to decide whether Edwards ran afoul of the law.
