The elderly heiress whose money and how it was spent is the main focus of the John Edwards trial had a huge crush on him and would be 'euphoric' whenever the former senator was around, a friend testified.
Bryan Huffman, an interior designer who became one of Rachel 'Bunny' Mellon's closest confidants, took to the stand yesterday at the Greensboro Court House in North Carolina.
Reiterating what other witnesses have said about the now 101-year-old millionaire, Mr Huffman told the jury: 'She liked how he looked, what he espoused and what good he could do for the country.'
She first met Edwards in 2004 and was said to have been in love with him ever since.
