Edwards says he and co-counsel Paul Cassell have about 2.000 documents. Based on emails and correspondence already in his possession. Edwards says he knows there are more documents that he doesn't have. 'The govemment stil hasn't turned over everything? Edwards said.

Other men who did what he did would get life n Prison. He is friends with Woody Allen and goes to 3rd world countries to rape girls. Disgustng. Several rabbis signed letters to petition his release. Naturally the US media hid this stay for a felow tribe member. Odd that they put so much attention on Catholic abuse but not men like this Putz or woody alien. etc 1 Comment(s) Comment(s) 1-1 of 1 <img height="1*widthrls srcehttp://segments.adap.tvIdata/?precruemediallc&typergif&segment= 848add=true http:i iwww.palmbeachdailynews.cominewsinewsilocalivictims-awaiting-release-of-billionaire-sex-offendinhMHLf Page 2 of 2 EFTA01193974
