President Biden is set to deliver remarks on gun violence at the Washington Hilton, while his son has been convicted on felony federal charges for owning a gun while on drugs in a Delaware courtroom. The jury, including juror number 10, a 68-year-old from lower Delaware, Sussex County, found Hunter Biden guilty on all three charges related to falsely filling out a gun form on October 12th, 2018. Despite the defense's hopes that juror number 10's connections to guns and addiction might make him sympathetic, he ultimately did not believe Hunter Biden's defense that he was at a 7-Eleven for innocent reasons, suspecting a drug deal instead.
Hunter Biden, upon hearing the verdict, remained stoic in the courtroom, showing gratitude for the support he received from his loved ones and community. He expressed faith in the possibility of recovery and hinted at a potential appeal. The first lady was notably absent during the verdict reading, as the jury deliberated for only two hours today and an hour yesterday before reaching a decision.
Special Counsel David Weiss, who secured the conviction, is expected to make a statement following the verdict. Hunter Biden also faces a separate trial in California for tax evasion, with uncertainty surrounding the next steps in his legal proceedings. The outcome of this case underscores the importance of accurate completion of legal forms and the consequences of failing to do so.
