Greensboro, NC - There was no shortage of fireworks during week one of the Edwards' case as Andrew Young took the stand and accused his former boss, John Edwards, of intentionally using campaign money to help hide his affair with Rielle Hunter, and week two could be just as explosive as Young's wife, Cheri, takes the stand.

Cherri Young, 38, a part-time pediatric nurse, is expected to discuss her role in the months long cover up of the affair, including why about $1 million in hush money was used to help pay for a luxurious North Caroliana home for her and her family.

She is also expected to be asked why she allowed her husband to claim paternity of Hunter's baby with Edwards.

The trial has brought a swarm of media to Greensboro, and this media attention has caught the attention of residents of Greensboro.

Charles Hardy said about the case, "I think it's been more drama than anything else. I just know know, what's going on, it's effecting a lot of things around here that don't need effecting so I'm aggrevated with it honestly."

The trial will likely continue to see attention from media outlets, as witnesses continue to testify on the details of the case.
