PITTSBORO, N.C. (AP) - A judge is considering whether to send a former John Edwards aide to jail for contempt over his handling of a purported sex tape showing the former presidential candidate.
Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones said Tuesday he was "troubled." He decided to break for part of the afternoon to consider the matter.
Lawyers for Edwards' mistress, Rielle Hunter, accused Andrew Young of "dozens of lies." They took issue with Young's handling of materials that Hunter is seeking, including the tape.
Young described in written affidavits a limited number of people who have seen parts of the tape. But Hunter's attorneys produced an affidavit Tuesday of another man who said in a written statement to the court that Young also showed the tape to him.
