Judge's ruling to block key defense evidence and an expert witness is an impartial application of the rule of law (Hunter's Laptop Inside!)

Judge blocks key defense evidence and witness on eve of Hunter Biden gun trial


The federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s gun trial dealt his defense two setbacks Sunday, on the eve of jury selection, by blocking one of his expert witnesses and excluding a key piece of evidence the president’s son hoped to use.

The rulings from Judge Maryellen Noreika resolved some of the sticking points that were still simmering before the trial begins Monday. Taken together, these decisions could make a tough case for Hunter Biden even more challenging to win. President Joe Biden’s son has pleaded not guilty to illegally buying and owning a gun while abusing illicit drugs.

Evidence of what, I wonder. I didn't think the laptop had anything to do with guns. Though, perhaps there are left over records indicating that there was an overlap in drug use and gun purchasing. *shrug*

(I haven't kept up with the timelines.)

That seems to be the gist of it. Messages and photos relating to drugs.

Donald Trump comments on the Hunter Biden case (all caps, as per the original Truths):

Firearm charges like those Hunter Biden is facing are seldom filed as standalone counts in non-violent offenses.

A CASE THAT SHOULD, ACCORDING TO ALL LEGAL SCHOLARS AND EXPERTS, SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BROUGHT

Hunter Biden is now on trial in Wilmington, Delaware, for gun-related federal charges – and it’s a Donald Trump appointee overseeing his case.


THIS IS A KANGAROO COURT, AND THE JUDGE SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF!

Day 4 of Hunter Biden's federal gun trial


Gun shop employee’s testimony solicits objections from prosecutors about potential issues with the ATF form​

Gordon Cleveland was about to say something on the stand about potential problems with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) paperwork, which could’ve opened the door for the defense to bring up the fact that the gun employees later altered the form.

Prosecutors objected several times, and the judge sustained their objections, cutting off Cleveland from answering Abbe Lowell’s questions.

More context: The store’s tampering with the form – in 2021, years after the sale – is important to the defense. But the judge has previously limited their ability to delve into the issue in front of the jury.
