January 1, BREAKING: Hunter Biden Found Guilty

Published

on

A Delaware jury has found Hunter Biden, the president’s son, guilty of all three gun charges. The decision comes after just a few hours of deliberations.

Hunter’s high-stakes gamble to go to trial rather than accepting a revised plea deal proposed in the summer of 2023 has led to this outcome. Now, he faces up to 25 years in prison and $750,000 in fines, according to court filings.

Typically, there is a two to three month delay between conviction and sentencing in the federal system. NBC News reported that one legal expert said the sentencing guidelines likely would specify around a year in prison.

Judge Maryellen Noreika, who presided over Hunter’s gun trial, recently handed down a one-year sentence in a similar case. In that instance, the defense had requested a six-month term, but Noreika gave the defendant a full year.

The charges against Hunter include one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer.

Evidence from Hunter’s abandoned laptop suggests that he was using crack when he purchased the firearm in 2018. The gun was later found discarded in a public trash can next to a school, with the Secret Service allegedly intervening in the subsequent investigation.

During the trial, the prosecution called ten witnesses to testify, while the defense only brought forward one: Naomi Biden Neal. Court reporters noted that her testimony seemed to backfire, making Hunter appear “erratic” to the jury.

Many legal experts predicted that Hunter’s defense would try for jury nullification. This occurs when a defendant is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but jurors disregard their oath to find the defendant not guilty.

The defense attempted to portray Hunter as a victim of drug abuse. Defense attorney Abbe Lowell argued that prosecutors needed to prove that Hunter “knowingly” committed gun offenses.

However, the government’s case hinged on the idea that “no one is above the law” and that “it doesn’t matter who you are or what your name is.” Prosecutors asserted that Hunter “chose to illegally own a firearm” and “we’re also here because he chose to lie.”

Prosecutor Leo Wise emphasized during closing arguments on Monday that “people sitting in the gallery are not evidence.”

In 2023, Hunter declined a plea deal from prosecutors when negotiations for a “diversion agreement” fell apart under judicial scrutiny. The original deal would have allowed him to plead guilty to not paying taxes on over $1.5 million in income in 2017 and 2018, receiving probation instead of jail time. Additionally, Special Counsel David Weiss proposed a separate diversion agreement granting Hunter immunity from potential future charges, including the possibility of erasing a felony gun violation from his record.

Weiss later indicted Hunter on tax violations in California, with the trial scheduled for September.

The case is United States v. Hunter Biden, No. 24-1703, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

    Poor Hunter. I am sure his knuckles could hurt for a few days following any “rap with the ruler” punishment. And later he could have trouble securing a real job. But never fear – his kindly old daddy will rush to his rescue and save his little boy from any of that cruel punishment. After all – Hunter mistakenly checked the wrong box about his drug use on his gun application but that small error was made only because of the influence of the drugs he was under. Can’t blame a guy for that and daddy knows he didn’t mean to do it. Thank heavens for a loving father who is rich and powerful enough to forgive little mistakes like this one. Watch daddy forgive his darling son and send him back out to play with his friends just like he has always done.

    All I have to say is that the verdict came down just like all the law experts said it should. It was commensurate with the charges.
    He got a fair trial, now we will see if he gets any jail time. The theory is out there, that maybe a year!!! He’d better hope that is the case when all is said and done!!!
    If he does get jail time, maybe they will put him in a “White Collar” jail!!! His father said he will not pardon him!!! Guess now he knows he is not above the law and that people who serve on juries aren’t necessarily stupid!!!
