Jury Deliberations Conclude in Hunter Biden Gun Trial, Verdict Awaits
Jury deliberations in the gun trial against Hunter Biden concluded today, with the jurors set to reconvene on Tuesday morning to deliver their verdict. The trial has been closely watched, as it pertains to the son of President Joe Biden and allegations of illegal firearms possession. Hunter Biden was charged with lying on a background check form when he purchased a handgun in 2018. In his defense, the defense argued that Biden was unaware of his obligation to report his prior drug use on the form. Throughout the trial, the prosecution presented evidence that Biden had lied about his drug use and had been the subject of prior criminal investigations. The defense countered that these allegations were irrelevant to the charge at hand. The deliberations took place over several days, with the jury weighing the evidence and arguments presented during the trial. The verdict will determine whether Hunter Biden will be found guilty or not guilty of the charges against him. The trial’s outcome could have significant political implications, as it involves the son of the current president. However, legal experts have emphasized that the charges are unrelated to the elder Biden’s presidency or his administration. The verdict is expected to be announced Tuesday morning. Until then, all eyes will be on the courtroom as the nation anxiously awaits the outcome of this highly publicized trial.Jury Deliberations Continue in Hunter Biden Gun Trial
Jury Deliberations Continue in Hunter Biden Gun Trial
Jurors in the Hunter Biden gun trial in Delaware have concluded deliberations for the day and will resume their efforts to reach a verdict on Tuesday morning. The panel began deliberations on Monday afternoon after the defense presented their closing arguments. Defense attorney Abbe Lowell argued that prosecutors failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the allegations against Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden. Lowell emphasized that the prosecution’s case was based on suspicions rather than concrete evidence. He stated, “The prosecutor said, ‘No matter what your name is, no one is above the law,’ but I think they missed the point.” He stressed that everyone has the right to due process and protection against false accusations, regardless of their status. Lowell also pointed out that prosecutors had not provided evidence of key issues, including Hunter Biden’s drug use at the time of the gun purchase. The prosecution had presented evidence of Biden’s crack cocaine addiction in the years leading up to and around the time he bought the gun in 2018. However, Biden’s lawyers argued that prosecutors had not presented evidence that he was using drugs when he purchased and signed for the gun. Biden’s attorneys also presented a federal form showing that he did not use illegal substances or admit to drug use during the 11 days he had the gun in his possession. The court is expected to reconvene at 9 a.m. on Tuesday as deliberations continue.
