The John Edwards jury told a federal judge today it had reached a verdict only on one of six campanign-finance charges, sending the courtroom into confusion and opening the door to a mistrial.

Jurors told Judge Catherine Eagles they had reached a unanimous verdict only on Count 3 of the indictment. That charge pertains specifically to more than $700,000 in donations wealthy heiress Rachel “Bunny” Mellon gave Edwards to allegedly cover up an illicit affair and illegitimate child.

Edwards’ defense team asked the judge to accept verdict on Count 3 and declare mistrial on other charges. The judge is considering the motion.
