John Edwards and the female jurors at his trial.

Since the alternates were identified last Thursday, it has been impossible to ignore the dynamic between Edwards and one of the female alternates, an attractive young woman with jet-black hair, who seems to have been flirting with Edwards for days.

The juror clearly instigated the exchanges. She smiles at him.   He smiles at her.    She giggles.     He blushes.

The flirtation has become so obvious that even Edwards’ attorneys have to work to suppress their laughter at the absurdity of it all.

Okay, so he’s on trial for hiding his Baby Momma from his wife, who was dieing of cancer.  That just does not seem like the proper time to be pickin’ up Juror Babes.

Call me old fashioned.  Go ahead.  I can take it.

Thanks to Sandy for the heads-up.
