The jurors in Hunter Biden’s firearms trial deliberated for about an hour Monday before breaking for the day and preparing to return to the courthouse for continued discussions Tuesday.
No one knows for sure how long the jurors will take to reach a verdict in the case as they debate the felony charges.
“We have had Hunter’s life in our hands, but now we have to give that to you,” defense lawyer Abbe Lowell told the jurors shortly before they departed to begin deliberations.
Prosecutor Derek Hines later shot back in his closing arguments, “Mr. Lowell suggested you have this man’s life in your hands. You don’t have this man’s life in your hands.
“He keeps saying he’s telling you a story,” Hines said. “That’s exactly what he’s done in this case. It’s simply a story — a fictional story.”
Judge Maryellen Noreika impressed upon the jurors that they need to reach a conclusion on their own and should not mindlessly take what she or any of the lawyers said about the case to heart.
There are three charges pending against President Biden’s son alleging that he illegally bought a .38 caliber revolver while addicted to illegal drugs.
