maybe a couple of things they can either contest the underlying issue as to the addiction itself, even though there's admissions as to that was it at the time that he purchased a gun? well, they could look for jury nullification in this case saying, look, this is a guy who's been through a lot. what are we doing here? he possessed, as i noted, this gun for 11 days, how do we know he was going through a tough time? he lost his brother to brain cancer because of the brain cancer that his brother had. bot are rising star in delaware, he was in a really dark place at the particular time. he lost his mom and his sister when he was a young kid what do we doing that the gun was never used in terms of any type of crime at all, things have to make sense. and so if that's sympathetic to a jury, they could nullify. so it'll be interesting to me, victor, to see what the play here is. it to confront the facts head on, or is it to garner sympathy, which would mitigate the charges and even if they approve and the jury says, hey, you know what? this doesn't make sense. let's throw the case out your defense attorney for hunting hunter biden here.
