Hunter Biden convicted on criminal gun charges in US trial

见证美国历史+1!美国总统拜登之子被判有罪

Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden was on Tuesday convicted by a Delaware jury on federal gun charges, making him the first child of a US president to be tried and found guilty of a crime, in a case that has been a distraction for the re-election campaign of his father, Joe Biden. The conviction on three felony counts came after a week-long trial that laid bare the agony and dysfunction in the Biden family after the president's oldest son and political heir, Beau, died in 2015, and how that tragedy set in motion an unlikely series of events involving a handgun.

亨特·拜登周二被特拉华州的一个陪审团判定联邦枪支罪名成立,这使他成为首位受到审判并被判有罪的美国总统子女,而这起案件也让他的父亲乔·拜登的连任竞选活动分心不已。

在为期一周的审判后,亨特·拜登因三项重罪被定罪,审判揭示了拜登家族在总统的长子兼政治继承人博·拜登于2015年去世后遭受的痛苦和功能失调,以及这一悲剧如何引发一系列涉及手枪的事件。
