Jurors: Evidence fell short in John Edwards case that ended in mistrial

The Associated Press

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Jurors from the John Edwards campaign corruption case that ended in a mistrial say there wasn't enough evidence to convict him of campaign finance violations.

Six jurors went on network talk shows Friday, a day after acquitting the former U.S. presidential candidate on one count and failing to reach a verdict on five other charges.

Prosecutors had charged Edwards with misusing almost $1 million in campaign contributions from two donors to hide his pregnant mistress while he ran for the White House in 2008.

Cindy Aquaro said on NBC's "Today" show she thought Edwards was guilty of at least some counts. But she said he was smart enough to hide it, and they couldn't find proof.

Another juror, Theresa Fuller, told ABC's "Good Morning America" the evidence just wasn't there.
