responsibility for hunter's pregnancy saying that she told her husband, quote, i felt like everything had been dumped in my lap and that she didn't want the responsibility of the campaign, quote, exploded because i wouldn't go along. crying as she told the jury so i ultimately decided to go along with a lie. >> she is personalizing this whole situation for the youngs and showing that it's not really about the youngs. that it was about john edwards and that they sacrificed for him and his presidential aspirations. >> reporter: the defense will likely question that level of sacrifice during a cross examination that will surely focus at least in part on her husband's revelation under oath that the youngs kept a majority of donated money for their personal use. >> they do not want to make it look like they're beating up on her on cross examination. so they are going to be more subtle but they have to negate her assertions that much of the money trail was controlled by
