US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was found guilty of all three felony gun charges against him on Tuesday.
He now faces up to 25 years in prison.
This trial was the first of two Hunter Biden faces amid his father’s reelection campaign.
The president has said he plans to accept the jury’s verdict and has ruled out a pardon for his son.
Judge Maryellen Noreika said sentencing is usually done within 120 days out, and that she would be in touch to schedule a hearing.
First-time offenders do not typically get anywhere near the maximum sentence.
Legal experts who spoke to NewsNation agreed with this assessment.
“It’s a non-violent offense, it’s a first-time offense,” Richard Shoenstein, a trial lawyer and legal analyst, said on “NewsNation Now,” adding that as a recovering addict, Hunter Biden seemed remorseful.
