Hunter Biden Prosecutors Might’ve Already Lost the Jury
NULLIFICATION
The government’s case to prove gun charges stems on the president’s son’s drug addiction. That could very well lead jurors to acquit.
snippet:
There, prosecutor Derk Hines asserted to the jury that “addiction may not be a choice” but buying a gun is a choice and that Hunter Biden “isn’t charged with possessing drugs.” Following up on this, Hines also stated, “We would not be here today if he was just a drug addict.”
These words may well come back to haunt the prosecution for they likely raise in the jury’s mind two questions. First, they may wonder why if the prosecution believes addiction is not a choice then how can an addict make “knowing” decisions. The prosecution is asking them to conclude that sometimes drug addicts cannot control themselves but other times they can. But the second point is perhaps most dangerous for the prosecution.
The government’s assertion that Hunter Biden “would not be here today if he was just a drug addict” shouts the quiet part out loud—as Hunter Biden is clearly not “just a drug addict.” He is the son of a sitting president and, by this statement, the prosecution all but invites the jury to wonder if any other drug addict would have been charged in these circumstances. That’s how you nullify juries.
