, after prospective jurors were questioned about their thoughts on gun rights and drug addiction while the first lady watched from the front row of the courtroom.
One potential juror who was sent home said she didn’t know whether she could be impartial because of the opinion she had formed about Hunter Biden based on media reports.Another was excused because he was aware of the case and said, “It seems like politics is playing a big role in who gets charged with what and when.”
But Noreika, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, questioned some unusual aspects of the deal, which included a proposed guilty plea to misdemeanor offenses to resolve the tax crimes and a diversion agreement on the gun charge, which meant as long as he stayed out of trouble for two years the case would be dismissed. The lawyers could not come to a resolution, and the deal fell apart.
When the court adjourned for lunch, Hunter Biden walked over to his mother and leaned over the railing that separates the audience from the trial participants to hug and kiss her on the cheek. Monday was the first lady’s 73rd birthday.“It ain’t right for him to be sitting there because he was a drug addict,” Smith said.
