If former Mike Easley aide Ruffin Poole is found guilty on all 51 counts of corruption, he could be facing upwards of 700 years in prison. That might be long enough for the John Edwards saga to wind down. Also, the North Carolina Supreme Court will soon hear the case of inmates previously given life in prison who are now fighting for their release based on the definition of a life sentence. WUNC’s Capitol Correspondent Laura Leslie joins host Frank Stasio for a rundown of all the North Carolina political news, including Easley, Edwards and North Carolina reactions to President Obama’s State of the Union address.
