Edwards indictment

[fightingquaker13]

It looks like Arnie has a reason to rejoice. He's better at hiding money from his wife than former Senator Jon Edwards. Arnie could pay off the mother of his kid via his own cash. Ewards, despite being damn rich, worked out a scheme to use campaign funds so the Mrs. wouldn't find out. Thus masterfully turning simple grounds for divorce into a major felony or six. It seems that the feds will indict next week. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

They will either not convict or it will be a minor slap on the wrist.

That's a pretty cynical statement.  And it's also one with which I fear will also prove to be accurate.

I'm not so sure...this is the guy who did this to his wife who was dying from cancer- a wife who was very public about it and endeared a lot of people to her. He just might get "the book" thrown at him, since he's of no use to the party anymore.

Get enough women on the jury and he is sunk

He will not get the book thrown at him, nor will he walk. He will cop a plea to some charge to avoid jury issue, and then get short time (6-15 months) at Club Fed somewhere.

If he cops to a felony, that felony will eliminate his his ability to be a lawyer, so we can rejoice over that one at least - one less maggot ambulance chaser lawyer in the world.

You say that as though its some misscarriage of justice Path. Sheesh. All they'd need to do is make a "paperwork error" and send him to the women's facility. Even Martha Stewart would have shanked him.
