reaction. >> laura: convicted of a bad book. >> this comes down to a check on a form of a very clear question and so if you are going to apply the evidence and the law the case ended 30 seconds after it began. that's the telling issue. why wouldn't hunter biden plead guilty to avoid or at least reduce the chances of his going to jail when he doesn't have a plausible answer here. it may be a jury nullification. they are hoping the jury will be sympathetic over his struggle with addiction and his book really has very powerful sections. they are quite moving where he talks about how this took over his life. also this is wilmington, the hometown of joe biden. they may be hoping that those two factors can come into play to get jurors to look beyond the evidence and beyond the law
