The gun trial of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, has reached a crucial stage as jurors have begun deliberating on whether he lied about his drug use when purchasing a revolver. The prosecution argued that there was overwhelming evidence against Hunter Biden, accusing him of choosing to lie and violate the law, while the defense countered that the prosecutors lacked firm evidence and used circumstantial evidence to divert the jury's attention.

During closing arguments, prosecutor Derek Hines highlighted the cash withdrawals totaling more than $150,000 made by Hunter Biden, suggesting that they were indicative of significant drug use used for drugs. Hines dismissed the defense's claim that Hunter Biden lied about drug use to avoid his sister-in-law Hallie Biden, stating that he could have simply stated he was in a different location. Hines emphasized that witnesses who testified in exchange for immunity were required to testify truthfully or face prosecution themselves.

Hines also sought to counter the defense's assertion that Hunter Biden never carried the gun, stating that the presence of the gun in Hunter Biden's truck on October 23 contradicted those claims. He concluded by stating that there was overwhelming evidence of Hunter Biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, as he violated the law by lying and purchasing a gun.

In his rebuttal statement, Hines criticized defense attorney Abbe Lowell's remarks during closing arguments, calling them "completely unfair." Hines emphasized that the trial focused on whether Hunter Biden had lied about being a drug addict while buying the gun, not solely on his personal struggles.

Hines also refuted Lowell's claim that the prosecution's questioning of witnesses was "extraordinarily cruel," reminding the jury that the defense had called Hunter Biden's daughter as a witness. Hines argued that the evidence pointed to a pattern of illegal drug use by Hunter Biden at the time of the gun purchase, and that it was not necessary to prove drug use on the specific day or while at the gun store.

Meanwhile, Lowell reminded the jury of their tremendous responsibility to determine guilt or innocence, stating that the burden of proof always lies with the prosecution. He cautioned the jurors to consider the testimonies of Hallie Biden and Zoe Kestan, as both witnesses had been granted immunity. Lowell criticized the prosecution's attempts to embarrass Hunter Biden and his family during the trial and stressed that the allegations of contact with a dealer named Frankie had no evidence or testimony to support them.

Lowell argued that there was no proof that the cash withdrawals were used for drug purchases, as the prosecution failed to provide detailed financial records supporting their claims. He also asserted that there was no evidence to suggest that Hunter Biden illegally possessed the gun, stating that it remained locked in a box until Hallie discovered it and disposed of it.

As the jury now begins their deliberation, all eyes are on the outcome of the trial. The defense maintains Hunter Biden's presumption of innocence until proven guilty, while the prosecution argues that the evidence overwhelmingly supports a guilty verdict. The jury's decision will ultimately determine Hunter Biden's fate in this highly publicized trial.
