In a final act of revenge, Elizabeth Edwards secretly recorded a testimony in her dying days that helped prosecutors indict husband John last week, it was claimed today.
John Edwards is due to stand trial on charges that could lead to a 30-year jail sentence after he pleaded not guilty on Friday to using $925,000 in campaign funds to cover up an affair and love child.
The estranged wife of the former presidential candidate is alleged to have filmed a damning testimony that was central to the prosecution’s case for charges.
Friends said the cancer victim, who died in December, wanted to ‘haunt’ her estranged husband and his mistress Rielle Hunter, with whom he fathered a child and made a sex tape
Bruce Baron, an expert on federal law, said: ‘The value of a potential dying declaration, or tape, containing the testimony of Elizabeth Edwards, is devastating to any case or defence that Edwards would have.
‘On the secret video, Elizabeth spells out everything she knew about John’s affair with Rielle and how he managed to cover it up for so long,’ a source told the Enquirer.
‘She also spills all of John’s lies – many of which could be what sends him up the river.’
‘Elizabeth wanted to haunt John and Rielle – literally from her grave – and she has,’ the source told the Enquirer.
‘She hated them with a vengeance. This was a woman who took her final breath in the same bed where John once had sex with his mistress.’

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Or even room temperature.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. That being said, it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
So while the adults are full of hatred and selfishness they make all the kids the real victims as they have no choice in any of this. Nice.
mark for later
I’m thinking a wee bit better of her now. Good for her.
Just d_mn!
I can’t get my head around them going after Edwards and Weiner when so many others are doing far worse. This seems to be a play to make the dems look like they’re following the laws to cover for much bigger and much better things.
Wife can’t testify against hubby. Were they divorced?
Does she stop being his wife when she’s six feet under?
She was an angry, bitter, liberal woman even before the affair and cancer. She claimed she felt shocked and threatened when she learned a neighbor was a conservative gun owner.
Desipite this, she was still better looking than Reille “Rod Stewart in drag” Hunter.
If she wasn’t such an evil person herself, I’d be impressed.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!
The kids will be victims if they are not taught there are consequences for actions.
Actually I believe a wife can testify against her husband.
She cannot be forced to do so, but can voluntarily testify
(lawyers at FR please verify).

When she was young she was a jaw-dropper.
Wow!
Of course. Else wife-abuse cases would never go anywhere. My bad.
So if nothing was said and covered up and the kids found out later then what? Edwards destroyed his marriage and his wife, lied to everyone and he should not be held accountable? For the kids???? Please.
That's just beautiful. dude!
