Defense attorneys and the prosecution in the John Edwards trial will meet early Tuesday morning in Greensboro to discuss a matter with the jury.

The jury will also reconvene for a seventh day of deliberations.

Edwards faces up to 30 years in jail if he is convicted of using campaign money to hide his affair and pregnant mistress.

They must not only determine if Edwards knew of the secret payments, which he has denied, but whether he knew he was violating federal law by allowing them.

   Neither of the donors who gave the money testified about their thinking on the issue.

Heiress Rachel "Bunny" Mellon, who's 101, was deemed too frail to travel to court. Wealthy Dallas lawyer Fred Baron, who served as Edwards' campaign finance chairman, died of bone cancer in late 2008.
