Hunter Biden found guilty on all three felony charges

[VakAttack]

And now the appeals process begins.

[ionel]

But Joe is proud that Hunter doesn't know how to check boxes on an application.

Yes, perhaps there will be an appeal.   Vak - What basis would you think an appeal could be successful?  What did the court get wrong that prejudiced the jury?  What misconduct of attorneys or judge or court personnel are subject to appeal?

I have no idea.   I don't see a route to appeal but they can do so.   I'm just not sure there is much of a basis for one.

On the basis that their client was on drugs when filling out the form asking if he was on drugs.  The court should not expect an accurate answer, it just ain't fair.

No idea.  You'd have to really be in the courtroom to know if there are real grounds for an appeal; even if there aren't, though, an appeal will almost invariably be filed. The most commonly successful appeals tend to be based on pre-trial rulings in my experience.

If only more people who are not at all in the legal profession could get this.

There is an effort, maybe even a case initiated, to rule the law he was found guilty of, unconstitutional.  It does seem to have some merit.

You could have read what came after the word "appeal" in the second quote.

Interesting. Based on a pure 2A "right shall not be infringed...." argument?  I've often wondered after Heller whether felons would be able to challenge the loss of thwir gun rights.

We've gone from "he will be acquitted to appease the Biden Crime Family" to "actually, he will be convicted as part of an effort to the even DEEPER conspiracy."  Yeesh.

[Bigbrog]

Anyway, just as with the Trump case, I think this will be bogged down in the appeal process and eventually...just go away with a slap on the wrist.

You do realize that Hunter and his laptop still have trials to face, don’t you?

...I don't care if Hunter faces trials.  I hope he gets convicted of whatever he's guilty of.  None that has anything to do with my post that you're quoting.

So you’re surprised that different folks, including lawyers, have different views?  That some view with tunnel vision, and others from 30,000 feet above?

LOL.  It's the same people shifting their view to match what they wish to believe.

So appears our election option vote for:

The two choices suck, but not for these reasons.

I don't think people over 65 should be eligible for this position.  JMO.

I agree.

What presidents have been over 65 when they were elected?   Seriously, I know Trump and Biden, but are there any others?   How were they?
