The judge in Hunter Biden’s gun trial, Mary Ellen Noreika, recently sentenced a defendant in a similar gun case to one year in prison.
The case may provide insight into how Noreika might sentence Hunter if a jury finds him guilty of firearms offenses.
Hunter is charged with one count of making a false statement regarding the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by an unlawful user or addict of a controlled substance, and one count of making a false statement regarding information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer.
Hunter was using crack cocaine when he bought the gun, according to many of the photos he left on his abandoned laptop. The gun was found discarded in a public trash can next to the school. The Secret Service is reportedly involved in the investigation.
Judge Noreika sentenced Ji Dong for providing a false address on government paperwork when he purchased a gun from a Delaware gun shop on May 2, 2024.
Dong, who pleaded guilty, claimed to be living in Delaware but admitted to living in Maryland.
Dong appears to have driven the guns he purchased to a gun store in California, “indicative of firearms trafficking,” prosecutors said. I have written in the judgment memo.
The defense sought a six-month sentence, but Noreika Gave Don 1 year.
“When you see a judge who’s basically going to double the prosecutor’s sentence recommendation, that’s obviously a bit worrying for any lawyer,” Peter Tillem said. Said POLITICOA lawyer specializing in firearms cases.
