In a recent court hearing, prosecutor Derek Hines emphasized the distinction between addiction and the act of purchasing a gun. Hines pointed out that while addiction may not be a choice, the decision to buy a firearm is a deliberate action. This statement was made in reference to the case involving Hunter Biden, who is not facing charges related to drug possession.
Hines made it clear that the focus of the case was not on Biden's struggles with addiction but rather on the alleged offense involving a gun purchase. By highlighting this distinction, Hines sought to underscore the seriousness of the charges against Biden and the specific nature of the legal proceedings.
The prosecutor's remarks suggested that the case was not simply about drug addiction but involved a separate issue related to firearms. Hines indicated that the situation would not have led to a court hearing if it had solely been a matter of drug possession.
