The jurors reconvened Tuesday in a federal courthouse in North Carolina.
Edwards faces six felony charges in a case involving nearly $1 million provided by two wealthy donors to help hide his pregnant mistress as he sought the White House in 2008.
The jury must sift through notes from 17 days of testimony and review about 500 trial exhibits, many of them voluminous phone and financial records. They must not only determine whether the candidate knew about the secret payments, which he has denied, but whether he realized he was violating federal law by allowing them.
