Delaware federal Judge Maryellen Noreika on Sunday blocked Hunter Biden from calling a Columbia University psychiatrist and from entering a key piece of evidence just before jury selection is to begin in his gun charge trial, CNN reports on an awfully-familiar sounding story.
“The inadequacy of Defendant’s expert disclosure for Dr [Elie] Aoun leaves the government in the dark as to what his opinions about the facts of this case will be, thus rendering the government unable to prepare for trial,” the Trump-appointed Noreika wrote in her ruling. The judge also blocked Hunter from showing the jury an altered version of the federal firearms form he filled out when he bought the gun in 2018 that was edited in 2021 by the gun store employees.
