What’s next for Hunter Biden after guilty conviction?

Awaiting sentencing: Hunter Biden is facing up to 25 years in prison and fines up to $750,000 after being found guilty of three felonies. First-time offenders typically don’t get anywhere near the maximum sentence in these cases, and it is unclear whether the judge will give him any time behind bars. The judge has said sentencing will likely be handed down within 120 days. A detailed look at what’s next >

Family response: In a statement issued Tuesday, President Joe Biden reiterated he will accept the outcome and will respect the judicial process as his son’s legal team considers an appeal to the ruling. “Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that,” the president added. Read more >

‘Extreme measures warranted’ in Alito recording: Filmmaker

The recordings reveal that Martha-Ann Alito wants to get back at people who criticized her and her husband for flying politically affiliated flags at their homes. “You come after me, I’m gonna give it back to you,” Martha-Ann Alito said in the recording of a private conversation at the Supreme Court Historical Society’s June 3 annual dinner. “There will be a way; it doesn’t have to be now, but there will be a way.” Hear from the filmmaker > 

In-N-Out gave away Scott Peterson’s guilt: Former detective

Scott Peterson case: Scott Peterson‘s casual demeanor after learning his pregnant wife’s body had been found revealed his guilt in her 2002 murder, according to the former detective who worked the case. Jon Buehler, a retired detective who investigated Laci Peterson’s disappearance, told NewsNation’s “Dan Abrams Live” that what convinced him of Scott Peterson’s involvement was how he reacted after being told DNA confirmed his wife and unborn son were dead. “Just several minutes later, making his order at In-N-Out Burger for something to eat. The fact that he could just so cavalierly ask for a Double-Double with cheese and a small fry and a vanilla shake after he’d just been given this horrendous news convinced me that he was involved in it because who does that?” Buehler said. Defense attorney Lara Yeretsian maintained Peterson’s demeanor doesn’t prove guilt, saying people react differently to trauma and arguing there was no forensic evidence linking him to the crime.
