John Edwards Rests His Case Without Mistress' Testimony

GREENSBORO, N.C. May 16, 2012
John Edwards' lawyers abruptly ended his defense today without hearing calling the former presidential candidate or the mistress with whom he carried on an affair.

The courtroom had been braced for blockbuster testimony from Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter, Edwards's daughter Cate, or Edwards himself.
All three were on a list of possible witnesses for today, but the defense rested without calling any of them.

The prosecution called no rebutal witnesses, setting the stage for lawyers to make their closing arguments beginning Thursday.
