Ex-adviser: Edwards cursed him after being warned to stay away from mistress

Greensboro, North Carolina (CNN) - A former adviser recalled Friday how he urged John Edwards to steer clear of a campaign videographer, later revealed to be his mistress. But the then-presidential candidate refused, Peter Scher said in court.

He said that "I should back off, he didn't need a baby sitter," Scher testified during Edwards' felony trial.
