We already knew John Edwards is sick. But he’s asking that his trial, scheduled to begin Jan. 30, be delayed to cope with an illness.
Edwards’ defense team filed a motion for the delay: “The Defendant has a medical issue … that will prevent a trial of this matter during the January 2012 Criminal Term,” the motion says, according to the New York Daily News. “The failure to grant a continuance would be likely to result in a miscarriage of justice.”
The illness has not been publicly disclosed.
Twice already Edwards has asked that the trial be delayed. It was each time.
Edwards is charged with six counts of campaign finance violations. He allegedly illegally used campaign donations to help his pregnant mistress Rielle Hunter during his run in the 2008 presidential election.

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 2:59amHis “sickness” is being a liberal ‘Rat. Nothing to see here. He just finally admitted to himself that his dogma is insidious.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 10:42pmHe is about the sorriest thing that has come out of NC, and that’s saying a lot, considering that we have been ruled by liberals for over a hundred years. I think he is just desperate now that his family jewels are in a vice grip and he can feel it getting tighter and tighter. My Christmas wish is that he spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 9:17pmEdwards is the TRUE FACE of the Democrat Party. The guy is a totally immoral sleazebag who is self absorbed, egotistical and pompous. Sick alright, yes, I’ll grant you that. What’s even sicker than him is the fact that this guy could have become V.P. or President.

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 12:56pmQuite frightening to think of Edwards as the president of the US. However, speedy and complete recovery.
Do you think Edwards seeks to delay the trial until a verdict is reached in the trial of his confederate Pierce O’Donnell ?

Posted on December 23, 2011 at 10:24amInteresting that this is one of the few outlets you’ll hear about this continuuing corruption of a Democrat not too mention the 4 Democrats convicted of Voter Fraud in NY in accordance with ACORN doctrine?!?! Why is it ONLY Democrats that get busted for Voter fraud??? If the Democrats are so “hip cool and educated” you’d think that the Republicans commiting voter fraud would be paraded around like the holy grail? Better yet they are like Santa and the Easter bunny…THEY DO NOT EXIST!!!
