Executing Legal Decisions - Trial against Hunter Biden: Judgment rendered by media.
The jury in Hunter Biden's trial for alleged gun law violations has allegedly arrived at a decision. This news has been consistently reported by multiple US media outlets. It's expected that the verdict will be announced shortly.
In the case, Hunter Biden is accused of lying about his drug addiction during a gun purchase back in October 2018 and deliberately hiding it. However, he insists he's innocent. If convicted, the 54-year-old could serve up to 25 years behind bars. But it's uncertain how differently the judge might handle the sentencing for someone without any prior convictions.
The jurors had stepped out for a break to deliberate and then returned. For the verdict to be valid, it needs to be unanimous. The ongoing trial is a political pressure point for President Joe Biden. A conviction of his son could exacerbate the Democrats' situation during the election season.
