how would you counsel your client. >> i have a lot of confidence in the jury's ability to do their job. i see them do it every day. you'd be surprised at the hur else they are able to put aside and focus on the evidence. there will be a long process of jury selection. he is well-known. it's going to take a long type. once they get the 12 people and the alternates in the box they'll have to listen to the evidence and what they are going to have to decide is this. was the purpose of that money, was it the equivalent of campaign contributions, and if so did edwards have knowledge, and if they can do that they should be able to come back with a verdict and put aside the rest. i think jurors can do it. they've done it before. shannon: arthur, one of the guys who may turn out to be a key witness in this whole thing is somebody who has got a mixed bag publicly himself as well. >> his former chief of staff andrew young, who add -- who went out and told everybody that that's my kid when it wasn't his kid. so it's almost like in the organized crime cases when you're putting on a witness who has killed 15 people and now you want them, the jurors to believe what he says about this
