Airtight case? Doesn't matter. I will be surprised if he is convicted.
Jonathan Turley praises prosecution for ‘airtight case’ in Hunter Biden trialFox News contributor and practicing criminal defense attorney Jonathan Turley joined America Reports to unpack key moments from the Hunter Biden trial on Friday.
"I thought they put together an airtight case," Turley said.
"They did an excellent job anticipating the arguments of the defense. And so you have had Abbe Lowell, the defense counsel, making a series of claims in his opening statement that the government proceeded to knock down within 48 hours."
"It was a series of arguments that the prosecution did an excellent job knocking down," he said, and added that he doesn't think "there's any discernible defense strategy here other than a nullification strategy."
"Because the arguments put forward by the defense seem to be a mere pretense, almost placeholders, for a nullification vote by one or more jurors. And there's hope for that," he said.
"This is a great jury pool for Biden, this is Biden-town. This is their hometown. And they're reminded of that with the First Lady, who's who's flying in from Europe just to have another day there, and then flying back to Europe. So that message is really being reinforced," Turley said.
"I'm sure the prosecutors are not thrilled by it. But also every juror says they know someone who struggled with drugs. And the combination of that, I think the defense hopes. might get a couple of them to look beyond the evidence. And vote, sort of in an empathic way for the defendant or what he's going through," Turley said.
