Hunter Biden convicted on all 3 charges at federal gun trial
11 Jun 2024 ~~ By Marshall Cohen & Holmes LybrandThe conviction marks the first time a president’s immediate family member has been found guilty of a crime during their father’s term in office, though his crimes predate Joe Biden’s tenure as president.
The jury, which deliberated for just under three hours, returned guilty verdicts on all three charges, which stemmed from a revolver Hunter Biden bought in October 2018 at a Delaware gun shop. The first two counts were for lying about his drug use on a federal background check form, and the third count was for possessing a gun while addicted to, or using, illegal drugs.
Hunter Biden could face up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000 at sentencing, though he likely will receive far less than the maximum as a first-time offender. Before dismissing the parties, the judge told them sentencing is usually set for 120 days following a verdict, which means it is likely to happen before Election Day.
Commentary:
This was a slam dunk decision. No problem there.
What is the best thing to come out of the trial is that Hunters abandoned Laptop computer at a repair shop is now genuine factual evidence and can be by Congress, and his up coming Tax evasion trial.
Cangress can also use the laptop to confirm Hunter's perjury before Congress.
