Presidential son Hunter Biden has been found guilty of all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018. Two of the jurors in the case admitted that the verdict was influenced by his eldest daughter Naomi’s testimony, which may have been a critical mistake for the defense.
Biden’s daughter testified on June 7, and she recounted Hunter’s erratic behavior in the days after he illegally lied about his crack cocaine addiction to purchase a .38-caliber revolver on Oct. 12, 2018. She said her father texted her at 2 a.m. on Oct. 18, asking if she could meet him somewhere in Manhattan so they could exchange cars after she used his Ford Raptor pickup. However, he did not show up.
Prosecutors presented evidence suggesting Hunter was arranging to buy crack cocaine during that period.
“I’m really sad, Dad,” Naomi texted Hunter later that day. “I can’t take this. I don’t know what to say. I just miss you so much. And want to hang out with you.”
Hunter lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs back then and now he is set to face 25 years in jail. No sentencing date yet has been announced. (Related: Hunter Biden’s “historic” criminal trial will probe drug addiction and gun charges.)
One of the jurors from upper Delaware told the New York Post that it just seemed so sad for Naomi to see her father in such a state.
“She was happy when she thought he was getting better, but then he relapsed,” the 51-year-old woman added.
Another juror, who is a 68-year-old man from Sussex County, agreed that Naomi’s testimony was effective but it worked not in the way Hunter’s lawyers had expected.
“I don’t think any daughter should have to be up there testifying on her father’s behalf. That was heart-wrenching and I think all the jurors felt the same thing,” he said, adding that defense lawyer Abbe Lowell made the wrong move by calling Naomi to the stand. “He probably would not have called her.”
Hunter has pleaded not guilty to federal charges, including lying about his addiction when applying for a Colt Cobra revolver and illegally possessing the weapon for 11 days. Throughout the five-day trial, witnesses, including Hunter’s ex-wife, former girlfriend and sister-in-law, testified about his use of cocaine. His sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, testified that she found the gun in question but she immediately discarded it out of concern for Hunter’s and her children’s safety.
Lowell at one point claimed Hunter did not intend to deceive, believing he was not an addict at the time. The president’s son stated in a 2023 hearing that he had been sober since 2019.
“I am more grateful today for the love and support I experienced this last week from Melissa, my family, my friends, and my community than I am disappointed by the outcome,” Hunter said in the first statement he released after the decision was announced. “Recovery is possible by the grace of God and I am blessed to experience that gift one day at a time.”
President Joe Biden told ABC News that he would not pardon his son if convicted. Sentencing guidelines for the charges range from 15 to 21 months, but similar cases often result in shorter sentences or alternatives to incarceration.
The president, in his first comment after Hunter was found guilty on all three counts in his federal gun trial, expressed love for his son and vowed to “accept the verdict” handed down by the jury.
“As I said last week, I am the president, but I am also a dad,” the president said. “Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery.”
He further reiterated that he will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal. “Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that.”
The president went to Delaware to meet Hunter, who immediately greeted his father when the president arrived, getting out of the motorcade and embracing on the tarmac. Hunter was joined by his wife, Melissa and their son, Beau.
Biden did not make an appearance at his son’s trial, but First Lady Jill Biden was almost always there at the hearings and walked out of the courthouse hand-in-hand with Hunter after the guilty verdict was announced.
