Jury Seated for Hunter Biden Gun Case, Opening Statements to Begin

Hunter Biden has been accused of lying on a federal gun form about his firearm ownership.

The first son facing serious charges

  • COUNT 1 – False Statement in the Purchase of a Firearm

Maximum 10 years imprisonment, fines up to $250,000. 3 years of supervision and a $100 special assessment.

  • COUNT 2: False statement relating to information required to keep by Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer

The maximum sentence is five years in prison, with a fine of up to $250,000. Three years of supervision and a $100 assessment can be imposed.

  • COURT 3: Possession of controlled substances by an addict or a non-lawful user

Maximum 10 years’ imprisonment, fines up to $250,000. 3 years supervision and $100 special assessment.

Hunter has admitted to all charges. The maximum sentence for this crime is 25 years.

Townhall reporter Mia Cathell reported live on the proceedings from the courthouse.

Cathell wrote about a possible foreboding of Team Hunter’s defense:

Hunter Biden’s lawyers are relying heavily on the argument that Biden didn’t “knowingly” lie when he answered “No” to the question about whether he is a drug user or addict. ”

The defense argued that the terms “user” or “addict”, which were not defined on the form and he wasn’t told what they meant, had not been explained. ”

When the judge, defense attorneys and prosecutors interviewed potential jurors and dismissed some because of their political views or because they admitted they could not be neutral:

Some potential jurors, when asked about their political opinions, referred to Donald Trump’s criminal trials. Two of the potential jurors said that they thought Donald Trump was being prosecuted to benefit his election campaign.

NBC News reported another woman, Jury 40, who stated that people shouldn’t be allowed to buy guns because “they kill children in schools”.

Before dismissing the woman, she added: “If I were honest, I would ban all guns.”

Hunter’s legal problems do not stop in California. David Weiss, a special counsel, has accused Hunter of not paying $1.4m federal taxes between 2016-2019.

Jeanine Pirro is a Fox News pundit who wonders whether justice will be served in this case. Donald Trump’s politically-motivated conviction on business fraud allegations last Thursday was nothing but a circus.

Does he refuse to accept a jury’s verdict? Are the Democrats now fully in favor of the second amendment?

Both the Trump case and the Hunter trial are historic events. It marks two historic moments: the first conviction of a former U.S. president, and the first criminal prosecution against a child of an American President.

This might be an interesting experiment.
