Thanks as always let's take it to lawyers now.

Former prosecutor and Fox News legal analyst Arthur -- dollar on your left.

And the criminal defense attorney -- is -- on your right -- let's start with you -- said all along he's gonna walk after what we've heard from the jury today do you still believe that.

Hi this is now become the bunny -- -- bunny Mellon of course was the very wealthy now 101 year old donor.

Who gave about 725000.

Dollars to Edwards -- sensibly to get to real hunter.

All of it's all but 25000.

Actually went to the campaign 700 went to the furniture -- in this that the other.

This is probably for -- -- -- -- sitting here at the -- the most fun part trying to divine read -- tea leaves what is the jury thinking when you're actually on trial you wanna die with every now.

I think right now.

I would agree with mr.

Shanahan in other words.

Don't take this is some sign that they believe the prosecution because they're trying to figure out what bunny Mellon was thinking right but what they're doing is they're going count.

Byte count they're looking at the government's evidence -- -- any given taken strong vote yet just -- quick show of hands how many guilty how many not guilty.

-- asked for post it notes or there's over and other organized when they're organizing they're focusing in not -- -- -- -- not looking at you know -- -- by ms.

hunter flowers you know.

Anything extraneous or anything sympathetic grieving astound -- they're going right to the heart of the matter.

You know good for them and it seems like they listen to the judges seemed like it was -- the everything like that lawyers and now they're gonna vote on.

What's the relation body -- -- bunny Mellon and mr.

Edwards and what was is really about.

What what we what we need to know here is was this money that was a campaign donation that was used to protect her identity in this affair from the voting public.

Or was he using this to keep his wife from finding out that he was having an affair and had a love child that that's the key to all of us.

And and the challenge -- we've talked about this before in terms of me thinking that he's going to walk.

Bunny Mellon.

Did not testify.

Fred baron the other wealthy donor did not testify who knows it to people.

Dead or not you guys -- -- -- it would dead or not if you look at it would've been so difficult for.

Really what -- that technology we -- -- it -- -- from the ground with the red analogy yesterday that we saw maybe media could well appointed.

Also if that is not John Edwards cross to -- the fact that the government can't produce this critical evidence.

That's too bad we write about and the all focusing on the -- -- critical evidence handwritten note from Bennett bunny -- -- -- It's you know that they -- focusing on the relationship with -- knowledge -- for money melon -- -- -- -- I don't remember something check somebody -- Andrew Young Nat check from -- budding talent Andrew Young got the hand written note talks about let's do this without government restrictions that would find.

She's thinking it's okay to do it this way.

We're not violating any laws is that's what it -- that's what the jury is looking at and -- gunfight on Monday they wanna break we will have live there we could find out today visited think it might take until Monday we'll find out gentlemen thank you.
