Hunter Biden's lawyers officially seek new trial after gun conviction
2024-06-25
[NYPOST] Lawyers for Hunter Biden officially requested a new gun trial Monday, saying the trial judge didn’t have jurisdiction over his case because of a legal technicality.

The move comes a week after attorneys for President Biden’s son filed the same motion before mysteriously withdrawing it minutes later, days after he was convicted of unlawfully owning a gun while hooked on drugs.

In the new motion, Hunter, 54, asked for his June 17 conviction to be scrapped, claiming Delaware federal Judge Maryellen Noreika didn’t have jurisdiction over the trial because of pending rulings in his appeals case.

#2  A three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals rejected two of the Biden scion’s appeals earlier this year, finding they couldn’t rule until a verdict in the case.

I had to go to the link to find this but it's kinda what I thought. How can he appeal a verdict if the verdict has not yet even been rendered?

This is pettifoggery.

#1  Maybe they should file a motion that he can’t get a fair trial in Delaware because his dad owns all the judges and wants him found guilty for political reasons. It would be fun to see CNN and MSMBC discuss the implications of that motion.
