Not a full fortnight after Donald Trump became the first former president to be convicted in criminal court, Hunter Biden became the first son of a sitting president to earn the same honor.
In just three hours, a Wilmington jury found President Joe Bidenβs eldest surviving child guilty on two counts of lying on his Form 4473 when buying a .38 caliber Colt Cobra at a Delaware gun store and of possessing the firearm as an active addict and user of a controlled substance.
Unlike the spurious legal framework of a state prosecutor contorting federal election laws into felony charges against Trump, the case against Hunter Biden, legally speaking, was cut and dried: Despite Hunter Bidenβs attempt to appeal to pathos and trigger jury nullification, the evidence was clear across text messages, photos, and witnesses who confirmed that the first son was actively using crack cocaine before, after, and during the time he bought the gun, and Hunter Biden refused to mitigate the risk of hard time with a guilty plea. The trial was as straightforward and as fair as any justice system could have hoped for.
