I wanted to say, first, thank you for the jurors, and their incredibly hard work and their diligence. They took their job very, very seriously. All I can say is thank goodness we live in a country that has the kind of system that we have.

While I do not believe I did anything illegal or ever thought I was doing anything illegal, I did an awful, awful lot that was wrong. And there is no one else responsible for my sins.

Jurors are set to begin deliberating the case against John Edwards.

John Edwards was confident even though he had all bunch of stuff going on in the background including this controversy with his mistress.

He was very short and very angry. He told her to, quote, 'get the money in.'

I've never paid a dime of money to any of the people that are involved. I've never asked anybody to pay a dime of money. Never been told that any money's been paid. Nothing has been done at my request. So if the allegation is that somehow I participated in the payment of money, that is a lie. An absolute lie.

I would welcome participating in a paternity test. I would be happy to participate in one. I know that it's not possible that this child could be mine because of the timing of events.

Not true. Not true. It's a supermarket tabloid. But that is absolutely not true.

I have no idea what you're asking about. I have responded to -- consistently to these tabloid allegations by saying I don't respond to these lies.
