Juror Tells Fox News Convicting Hunter Biden Was ‘Heart-Wrenching’ and ‘Not Politically Motivated’

Smith: “This is audio only, it’s an interview that was just conducted by our own Fox News producer Jake Gibson with Juror number 10. Before we toss to it, I just want to make sure I give a little more background on him. When he was going through the process, he recalled chatting with somebody about this, likely his brother, about the Hunter Biden case. He knew it was related to drugs and guns. He told that person not to say much because he had jury duty. He insisted he didn’t know much about the case beforehand or have any views on it. And he also said that he has family members who own guns. A brother-in-law and another loved one in his life also, he said, struggled with addiction. Both passed away. Now here’s the interview.”

JUROR: “No.”

GIBSON: “Why do think that is?”

JUROR: “I think — I don’t know, because we — because we were so focused on the case and listening to the defense and the prosecutor and the witnesses that we were really nervous. What part did I actually become nervous about, was when the trial was handed over to us. Then it became real. OK, now we — we have to play the part, you know? The defense and the prosecution and all the witnesses, they’re done, OK? Now it’s in our hands. So that’s — that’s when, yeah, it had hit home, it got real and I got nervous.”

GIBSON: “I have to ask you a technical question. I took a video of you speaking earlier.”

JUROR: “Yes.”

GIBSON: “I assume, since you don’t want to use your name, you also don’t want your video on the Internet as far as me publishing it. Or do you care? I just — I can’t speak for anybody else here. I’d like to ask permission.”

JUROR: “I’d rather not be.”

UNKNOWN: “And to that end, I just want to give you my name and phone number if you ever — if you decide you want to be on TV or the internet.”

JUROR: “[inaudible] It was a trial, like I said, I never expected to be on a trial like this. Sitting here day in and day out, listenin to all the evidence, looking at [inaudible]. You can’t help but take some of these things in the factoring. [inaudible] And then at some point where you — you just got turned away, you know, and focus more on what the defense is saying, what the prosecution is saying. And so, that’s basically what I started doing. And I tried to block, block the rest of it, and just [inaudible] Biden was on trial. And think that’s just like anybody else, you know. And I believe, you know, that they brought that up in court, you know, nobody’s above the law, you know, no matter who you are. And so, that did not play a factor in my decision. And honestly, it was not politically motivated. It’s that we want to know that politics played no part in this whatsoever. So we — again, we just went by the evidence.”

GIBSON: “Were you cognizant of the — of the family members who were there and the First Lady being there? Was that something that the jury talked about and noticed?”

JUROR: “We — I was aware of it. The jury, I know you come in a little bit late, but no. Once we went into the jury room, we didn’t discuss anything. We didn’t discuss the family and we didn’t discuss any part of the case until it was actually given to us, and it was given to us yesterday afternoon. That’s when we were able to talk with one another.”

UNKNOWN 2: “Have you served on a jury before?”

Smith: “Alright, so that was our Fox producer Jake Gibson interviewing juror number 10 who said politics played no part in this case, in this decision. The case was heart-wrenching, he said. Nobody’s above the law and he didn’t buy the story about being — Hunter being at 7-Eleven.”
