Former Vice Presidential Candidate John Edwards received an acquittal on one count, and a mistrial on others. Does this mean that he got away with what he did? At the same time, cheating on one's wife, especially when she is literally dying of terminal illness... is not a judicial crime (of course, the issue here was the illegal usage of campaign funds in order to cover up the affair, etc.).
Edwards is reported as saying, "None of the people who came to court and testified are responsible. Nobody working for the government is responsible...I am responsible, and if I want to find the person who should be held accountable for my sins, honestly, I don't have to go any further than the mirror."
At least he admits it.
But the damage has already been done.
