GREENSBORO, N.C., May 17 (UPI) -- Defense attorney Abbe Lowell, in closing arguments, cautioned jurors against convicting former U.S. Sen. John Edwards because of his moral failings.
Edwards, D-N.C., is on trial in federal court in Greensboro, N.C., for misusing more than $1 million in campaign funds to hide his affair with campaign worker Rielle Hunter during his unsuccessful run for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
