Hunter Biden's Trial on Felony Gun Charges Tentatively Set for June
Hunter Biden's trial for felony gun charges set for June, expected to last 4 days, defense seeking dismissal based on plea agreement.
After several legal issues, Hunter Biden faces a trial related to felony gun charges. The trial is tentatively scheduled for the week of June 3, with both parties preparing for the proceedings.
Indictment and Charges
Last September, Hunter Biden was indicted by a federal grand jury in Delaware on charges linked to his purchase of a firearm in October 2018 while being a drug user. The grand jury's indictment included three felony counts, specifically related to his possession of a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver for 11 days.
Expected Duration of the Trial
The prosecutors anticipate that the trial will last approximately four days, while Hunter Biden's defense team plans to present their case over a period of two days.
Legal Proceedings
During a recent telephonic meeting, Judge Maryellen Noreika discussed various motions, including Hunter Biden's motions to dismiss the case. She indicated that a ruling would be issued upon completing the review of the motions.
Defense's Expectations
Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden's attorney, expressed the belief that the case may not proceed to trial. He expects the judge to rule in Hunter Biden's favor based on a motion to dismiss, which is supported by a previously issued diversion and plea agreement.
Additional Legal Challenges
Besides the gun-related trial, Hunter Biden is also anticipated to face charges in a separate trial in a tax case in California, likely in late June. Despite pleading not guilty in both cases, he seeks to have all charges dismissed.
The legal challenges faced by Hunter Biden continue to garner public attention and scrutiny, with ongoing developments expected in the coming weeks.
