Thread to call on the Justice Department to let the John Edwards case end NOW.

[Ken Burch]

The man did some bad things.

But no good at all would be served by insisting on a retrial on any of the charges on which the jury deadlocked.

It's gone on long enough.

Edwards' family has suffered enough.

Ms. Hunter has suffered enough.

Any retrial would be a complete waste of taxpayer's money.

Just let it end, for God's sake.

1. I agree. He's a creep, not a criminal. To retry him would serve no good purpose. n/t

2. At this point, it is strictly political.

Maybe it has been strictly political all along.

3. Good Idea

I'll create a petition on change.org tomorrow, if someone hasn't made one. It's late now on the East Coast.

The DOJ should focus all their attention on Florida and not waste time and taxpayer money catering to the GOP in North Carolina.

4. Thanks

And just so nobody gets this confused...I'm not saying Edwards was a saint...just that there' s no possible justification for another criminal trial on this whole sordid story. The point is, just let it end.

5. It's over
