After mistrial in Edwards case, law enforcement official says retrial unlikely

The jury has reached a verdict in the case of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards. 

He is on trial in Greensboro, N.C., for allegedly skirting campaign finance law by using contributions to help keep secret his extramarital affair during the 2008 campaign.

The verdict, expected to be announced Thursday afternoon, comes after nine days of jury deliberations. The trial began more than a month ago.
