Two lawyers had ties to Baron


Two lawyers who helped deflate rumors of John Edwards' affair had ties to him.

New York attorney Robert Gordon represented Rielle Hunter, while Washington lawyer Pamela Marple worked for Andrew Young, the purported father of Hunter's child.

Statements issued by the two attorneys independently in late 2007 seemed to put to rest the story of an affair then printed in the National Enquirer.

Both lawyers have worked with Fred Baron, a wealthy Dallas lawyer and former finance chairman for the Edwards campaign. Gordon worked with Baron on class-action personal injury cases and Marple helped defend a lawsuit brought against both men by an asbestos manufacturer.

Baron has given conflicting reports of what he knew about how the two lawyers came to represent Hunter and Young. (NYT

"If we lose faith in our lawyers and General Motors…… what have we left?"

Journalist and Wal-Mart; Ministers and Haliburton; Prostitutes and the North Carolina General Legislature, come to mind.

Image a world without lawyers.......

Loiwyers should be BANNED from holding ANY public office!

Not surprising that the selected loiwyers here were out of state to keep the story at bay...Ed Turlington and Wade Smith must be crushed!

Re: Two lawyers had ties to Baron

I hope you are not suggesting that these lawyers have been less than forthcoming. This Edward’s affair has shattered my faith in our electoral process. Please do not besmirch the good and hallowed name of lawyers. I don’t know if I can take much more. If we lose faith in our lawyers and General Motors…… what have we left?
