Serious? Seriously!?

It appears that such a serious case would not have been brought against anyone else. Which is why the tern jury nullification has been bandied about, no?

Chris,

This period was less than two weeks long, and Biden's lawyers argued that Hunter had recently gone through rehab and could conceivably still have been clean during this whole period, despite his own admission that he was addicted to crack cocaine both before and after this period.

When did he make that admission? Wasn't it long after the time period in question? Could a jury reasonably conclude that he didn't believe he was an addict when he bought the gun?

Not that I really care one way or the other how this one turns out, I do care what the impact will be on the 2024 campaign if Hunter is acquitted by way of jury nullification, especially given the outcome of the Trump trial and whatever the former president's punishment will be.
