Hunter Biden, 54, has done wrong. This was determined by the jury in the Wilmington, Delaware court following three hours of deliberation following the criminal trial in which he was charged with three felonies pertaining to the acquisition and unlawful possession of a handgun while under the influence of drugs.
On November 5th, there will be voting in the United States, and one of the biggest challenges facing the Democratic presidential candidate seeking confirmation in the White House is Hunter's legal issues. The three accusations entail a maximum punishment of 25 years in jail; however, as this is the first offense, such a term seems improbable.
Hunter's final prison sentence will be determined by District Judge Maryellen Noreika, a candidate appointed by former Republican President Donald Trump.
The $750,000 fine is another issue. Above all, though, his father's running record still bears the stain.
After a press conference at the summit of the world's richest democracies, known as the Group of Seven, Joe Biden said in response to a query from a journalist that he would not be commuting his son's sentence. No grace.
We'll see whether Donald Trump, his opponent and someone with other issues, decides to capitalize on this situation.
For the time being, the Republican has prioritized the psycho-physical uncertainties of the present White House inhabitant, arguing that cognitive testing should be required of presidents.
