Former N.C. Sen. John Edwards reportedly is deeply depressed about his current predicament:
Disgraced politician John Edwards is said to be deeply depressed – to the point of being suicidal – over the prospect of a criminal trial that could end with him being jailed if found guilty.
The 57-year-old former Presidential candidate reportedly told a close friend: ‘I won’t go to jail. I’d kill myself first!’ …
According to the Enquirer, a close source said: ‘I think John is suicidal. He knows that if he’s indicted, prosecutors will try to get him to serve jail time and make an example of him.
‘He’s absolutely despondent over the fear of prison.
‘Over the last year, he’s lost about 20lb and friends are concerned that he’s escaping reality with booze.
Is this a factual report or just a defense lawyer ploy? Hard to tell.
