John Edwards is a piece of shit. I doubt anyone would argue otherwise. But there's a difference between ambulance chasing, and fighting for what is deserved. The $13m that the parents got so far was settled out of court by the hospital. They are still suing the doctor, but that trial ended in a deadlocked jury. They will probably retry the case.
