Johnny Reid "John" Edwards the 57 year old US former presidential candidate had refused to answer a series of questions under oath during a deposition relating to a privacy lawsuit between his former mistress and mother of his child Rielle Hunter, and a former campaign aide Andrew Young. Young had allegedly improperly obtained from her a reputed sex video tape involving Edwards. Edwards will now face questioning under the direct supervision of a Superior Court Judge to rule on the questioning fairness, and to decide on what may be released to the press. Hunter’s suit against Young is for the return of the video tape, however the issue of a witness’s right to refuse questions that unreasonably annoy or embarrass, and the medias right to report lay at the heart of the legal debate.
