    The famous politician left a federal courthouse in North Carolina late Thursday afternoon thanking the jury and saying "I don't think God's through with me," after a federal judge declared a mistrial in his high-profile corruption case.
    Jurors found him not guilty on just one count of accepting illegal campaign contributions but were deadlocked on the remaining five, resulting in the mistrial decision by Judge Catherine Eagles.
    It's unclear whether federal prosecutors will seek to retry him. A Justice Department spokeswoman said the department had "no immediate comment" on the next step.
    But a law enforcement official later told Fox News that it is unlikely the Justice Department would retry Edwards.
