Tino Lisella Quoted in USA Today: “How Hunter Biden's Drug Addiction Could Be a Bedrock of His Legal Defense on Tax Charges”

Tino Lisella was quoted in USA Today, in an article titled “How Hunter Biden's Drug Addiction Could Be a Bedrock of His Legal Defense on Tax Charges.” The article discusses how Hunter's drug addiction could play a major role in his defense against tax charges.

"When you're talking about substance abuse, I would expect that that's going to play a large role in trying to negate his intent," said Lisella.

Lisella goes on to say that the government may try to present evidence of Hunter's questionable spending, and that Hunter's attorneys would likely then argue against their inclusion because they would unfairly prejudice a jury. "Those are just things you can't predict how the judge is going to rule, but it could be that a lot of what the government is alleging or at least some portion of it is kept away from the jury," Lisella said. "That could be consequential to the outcome."
