A defense lawyer for John Edwards said in closing arguments on Thursday that finding the North Carolina Democrat guilty would criminalize affairs, Politico reports:
“If what John did here [was a crime] then we better build a lot more courtrooms, hire a lot more prosecutors and build a lot more prisons, because the government will always be able to turn an affair into a federal crime,” lead defense lawyer Abbe Lowell told jurors.
Jurors are expected to begin deliberating tomorrow morning.
