Hunter Biden, the President’s son, is currently on trial in Wilmington, Delaware, which is known to be a place where many people support President Biden. Despite the President publicly supporting his son and the first lady, Jill Biden, being present in the courtroom, legal experts say that Hunter Biden is unlikely to be found not guilty due to a lot of proof against him.
The prosecutors are expected to finish presenting their case after several witnesses, including Hunter Biden’s ex-wife and ex-girlfriend, testified about his drug use when he purchased a handgun in 2018. This testimony makes it very difficult for the jurors to find him not guilty of the charges he is facing.

Hunter Biden is accused of lying on a federal form when purchasing a gun, as well as illegally obtaining a firearm while addicted to drugs. The prosecution has also used Hunter Biden’s own words from his memoir and evidence from his laptop to support their case.
Even though Hunter Biden could face many years in prison if found guilty, some legal experts believe that the powerful Biden family’s presence in the courtroom and the public support from the President could influence the jurors and make them reluctant to convict him. The jurors have also mentioned that they have close relatives with substance abuse problems, and some legal analysts think that the prosecution may be trying to gain sympathy from the jury to prevent a guilty verdict.
