The federal judge presiding over John Edwards’s trial on campaign finance violations dismissed 47 potential jurors for cause.
The majority of those excused indicated on an initial questionnaire that they had already made up their minds about the former Democratic presidential candidate’s guilt or innocence, U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles said during a hearing today in Greensboro, North Carolina. Jurors were also dismissed based on conflicts of interest and hardship.
