Isn’t edwards in jail or something?
Looks like the guy walked (according to wiki):
"On May 31, 2012, Edwards was found not guilty on Count 3, illegal use of campaign funding (contributions from Rachel "Bunny" Mellon), while mistrials were declared on all other counts against him. On June 13, 2012, the Justice Department announced that it dropped the charges and will not attempt to retry Edwards."
