The Feds then brought cases in 298 of them. Most of those cases involved some other illegal use of the weapon such as an assault or robbery. Jail time for lying alone is virtually unheard of. The only reason this case is being prosecuted is because the defendent is Hunter Biden.
So what do you think the appropriate pensalty should be?
So, here is the thing. It will all come down to how Hunter Biden behaves in court. If he is found guilty of one or all of the crimes he is charged with, the federal sentencing guidelines have a minimum sentencing of 15 months and it must be imprisonment because it places him in zone D on the sentencing table. If he is genuinely remorseful, it could drop him into zone B or C. Zone C would still require imprisonment, but it could be minimal with additional supervised release.
If he is found guilty of these charges, he should face imprisonment based on my understanding of the guidelines. As for how common this is, in FY2022, 97.4% of 922(g) offenders were sentenced to imprisonment.
