Hunter Biden is facing charges of illegally purchasing a gun while struggling with drug addiction, with potential penalties of up to 25 years in prison. However, as a first-time offender, the likelihood of such a severe sentence is low. The defense team seems to be emphasizing Hunter's battle with addiction as a key strategy, hoping to garner sympathy from the jury in Delaware.
Reportedly, Hunter Biden arrived at the courthouse in Delaware accompanied by his wife and attorney. There was speculation about him testifying, but ultimately, he did not take the stand, leading to the commencement of final deliberations. The prosecution presented evidence suggesting that in October 2018, Hunter, a drug user at the time, falsified information on a federal form to acquire a gun, which he then unlawfully possessed for 11 days.
