Hunter Biden’s gun trial judge, Maryellen Noreika, recently delivered a one-year sentence to a defendant in a similar gun case.
Noreika sentenced Zhi Dong for lying on government forms about his address when he bought guns at Delaware gun stores on May 2, 2024.
Dong, who pleaded guilty, admitted to living in Maryland while claiming to live in Delaware.
Dong apparently drove the purchased guns to California to a gun store, which was “indicative of trafficking firearms, prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo.
The defense asked for a six-month sentence, but Noreika gave Dong one year.

I'm interested in seeing how they treat the President's kid compared to this average Dong.
While this judge was appointed by Trump...she is currently being considered for a Federal Circuit Judgeship by Joe Biden.

Was she being considered before or after she got this case?

Didn't realize Hunter Biden was trafficking guns.
That might make a difference in the sentencing.
Oh, that's right, Hunter Biden isn't trafficking guns. So there's that. Seems Zhi Dong was.
So I'm guessing Hunter won't be getting a year in jail. And if he does, so what?

I'd still like to know if Hunter ever had a conceal carry permit...since he took his gun with him around town on drug deals.

I would assume she went on the list in March of 2021...and remains on it for consideration as Federal Circuit Court positions become available.
It is certainly a form of leverage over her for Biden.
