after the trial results were made known, four men were acquitted. these included the two that raymond alexander represented. he got one final opportunity to address the court, and he did so. he said, i want to express to your honor and to the members of this jury on behalf of the 15 million people of colored america whom i represent -- he did not say the two men he represented or even the six, he said of 15 million he was representing in this trial -- he thanked them for their deliberations in which they gave very minute study in the case. here he broke down sobbing. he was able to recover himself to finish his

. >> what we have is that he was acquitted, john edwards was acquitted on count three and the rest of trial, thrown away. >> there is no verdict on the other five. so the question now is, will the department of justice decide to retry him, start this whole trial all over again, on the five counts, where there was a hung jury. my strong sense is, the answer to that question is no. there's a new administration. this case was begun under the george wi. bush administration. this was an enormously expensive trial, where there was not a lot of jail time likely to be given in any case. john edwards is no longer an american political figure. i would find it inconceivable that this trial would be retried. so to be clear, john edwards won this trial and the department of justice lost this trial. it's not as clean as a straight-out acquittal, but the happy team today is abbe lowell and his defense team and the unhappy team are the united states attorney's office in north carolina, who brought this case. this was a win for john edwards, and there will be a lot of questions asked about why this ca

if they acquit him of counts two, three, four, five, i don't think they can convict him on count six. the last count is count one, the conspiracy count. if he is acquitted of the illegal campaign contributions, he won't be convicted of conspiring with others if he is acquitted of those charges. >> we know the verdict will be read by the clerk starting with count two, as you mentioned. three, four, five, six, and ending with count one. again, we or at least i have not been provided with the latest time line. we've been told the announcement would come. there was a verdict with the jury. 15 minutes later, we would have that verdict. you see there, it is pretty quiet in front of the courtroom in north carolina. there's not a great. a activity. we've seen john edwards day in and day out, walk in. there's been a lot of reporting about his demeanor. you would see that former presidential candidate. as the days ticked on, the reporters who covered the story indicated that there was a broken man walking in and out of the doors, despite the decision that would come down from the jury in this c

they didn't acquit on those charges, okay? they couldn't agree, that means someone in that jury room, perhaps more than one, thought there was grounds for conviction on those charges, perhaps. >> we're going to be hearing, i think we're going to hear pretty soon from john edwards shortly. let me go quickly to hampton delinger. what always stunned me is they let him stay on, let him proceed with his case, let the republican go on with a democratic administration. what was the basis for that, just not wanting to look bad or constructing a good, strong prosecution, which turned out not to be one? >> sure, i'll defer pete williams reporting on that. i think the tough call now is for the obama administration. for everything that pete said plus these two facts, one, this case was really well tried by the federal prosecutors. robert higdon pr from d.c., dav harbaugh as well. the key issue here was always john edwards to be the first person prosecuted for this so he couldn't have had criminal intent. the federal election commission wa

if it is not guilty she cannot they it out she has to publish it and he will be acquitted for all time on just what the count is but i will tell you this, she does not know what the verdict. her heart is pounding just as the rest of ours are. >>megyn: what is the likely hood, you say it is potentially possible for her to throw out the verdict the jury has reached on count three if it is completely inconsistent to have reached guilty on that but hung on the other counts but it seems like that is highly unlikely. knowing what the counts are, you can see, it will be a tough argument to say, you could reach guilty on count three but inconsistent with being hung on the other counts. >>judge napolitano: here is why i believe with respect to her, she made a mistake by revealing what she did reveal. as you know and as arthur and randy know from firsthand experience the verifies are often compromises. the jurors will at times exchange votes, trade their vote, i give you a guilty on this for not guilty on that. it happened. it is rock -- wrong for her to reveal there is a decision on one and not

states of america to put john edwards if -- in jail and it would be a tremendous defeat if he is acquit asked there is a hung jury. a waste of time, money, energy and resources of our government. >>megyn: randy, do the lawyers have a strategy, a hand for be played here? does it matter at this point what they push the judge for? or the jury has a verdict and they don't have one on others, you know, are we going to be stuck with a partial verdict? >>randy: i don't think it is fair to call it a strategy as much as it is reading tea leaves, trying to have a crystal ball, no different than trying to read a juror's facial, expression. you start with the judge has the discretion what to do. whether to dechair a mistrial now, discretion on what kind of allen charge. come on, guys, get back in there do the best you can, listen to each other. or, really twist their arms and say you have an obligation, you have a duty, you swore, and, really, put the pressure on them. from the defense, one argument could be may, i want to get them out as quickly as i can because if it is a guilty on count they, an

so he is acquitted on that single charge. now as for the others, the question is, will the justice department refile this case? and i can accurately report tonight that the justice department hasn't the slightest idea what it is going to do. there are some arguments against it. the campaign finance landscape has changed considerably since these charges were brought with the birth of super pacs, all kinds of different money in politics, and it seems to many people like the case was a bit of a dog, very controversial when it was brought. experts in campaign finance law said this was a stretch, a reach of the campaign finance law. so for all of those reasons it's unclear whether the government will ever try again to bring these charges again. back to you. >>> all right. nbc's chief justice correspondent pete williams. a teenager from bowie was struck and killed by a freight train last night and police say she never saw it coming. the 17-year-old was walking along the tracks near lafayette avenue and queensbury road in riverdale

if you're charged and acquitted after a trial of something, you don't to have face the same charges. so it will be interesting. and we will find out at some point by one form or another what that verdict was on that one down. whether they agree on the others or not. >> bg back to the evidence briefly, you know of that letter written by rachel bunny mellon where she referenced personal issues, like john edwards' expensive haircuts. that would suggest she was contributions that were not campaign contributions. they were private gifts as it were to the man himself. now how did the government, the federal government overcome that in order to get this to trial? >> reporter: there are issues, i couldn't put it in the exact time line right now. at one point the bunny money mellon woman level said let john edwards pay for his own mistress. at some point she didn't intend for the money to be used to cover up his illicit affair and his love child. but you're right. in both the counts two and three, the 2007 and 2008 counts, the government had to show that john edwards knowingly and intentional

let's start with the fact that he has been acquitted of one count. double jeopardy clause, that's all she wrote on that case, on that count. there would be an argument that the government would be precluded from making some arguments that it made in the initial trial. plus, this case was tried at great length and expense where everyone who knows the federal sentencing guidelines knew that a minimal jail sentence would be the likely outcome. even if he was convicted on all counts. we kept repeating that he was eligible for 30 years. he would never have gotten 30 years. he might have gotten one year. he is certainly not going to get any time if it ends here an even in a retrial, he wouldn't have gotten it. the deterrent effect, which is something that is often talked about when the prosecution decides whether to bring back a case, how many cases are like this? this case is so bizarre. the facts are so strange. it is unlikely to occur or deter other people from potentially violating the campaign laws in the way the judgment department alleged. i don't s

the men were acquitted and two of the men were found guilty and this time not sentenced to be electrocuted. they appealed the convictions were overturned again this time boston health and made a deal for time served. people think this couldn't happen now deutsch of the cases of the norfolk that happened in this century in virginia, so unfortunately not much has changed. the time period and please are important for this story. 1948 to 1953 trenton new jersey was very stubborn. they had jim-crow laws firmly in place. world war two had ended only a few years previously and this was important because the most employer famous for building in the brooklyn bridge they were not only of hiring the they were actually laying off people. at the same time, blacks throughout the south for coming to the north and a fair number of them landed in trenton. this meant that previously the blackberry's were filled up savitt to spread out and move into the previously all white areas. also this is a time when in the beginning of the cold war communism in the mccarthy era senator joseph mccarthy used the beginnin

ultimately they found one of the brothers -- acquitted on the charges, he will go free. the other one, who had three years with the israeli military took the lead in the conflict, took down the 15-year-old teen in park heights in november of 2010 and then held him against his will until other members of the jewish neighborhood watch group could show up to hold him down as well. they never even called police . none of them -- the judge said even attempted to try to get medical treatment for him other than to provide bandages themselves. this case has come to a head. the wife left the room upset. bailiff has to take her out. i should say until the verdict had been read. sentencing now will be on june 27th. we are told the second degree assault could carry as much as ten years because he did not have any prior criminal record he could get away with as little as probation. reporting live. jeff hager. >> live report for us. devastating news from the baltimore ravens tonight. fan favorite, tarell suggs was hurt in arizona and may miss the season. jamie is live with more. >> re
