Before Hunter Biden's guilty plea, he wanted to enter an Alford plea. What is it?
Hunter Biden's sudden guilty plea Thursday to tax charges was preceded by vigorous objections from prosecutors when his lawyer said he was willing to give up a trial and enter what's known as an Alford plea. Hunter Biden ultimately pleaded guilty to nine charges in the case accusing him of failing to pay at least $1.4 million in taxes over four years. Before the guilty plea, Hunter Biden's attorney said he would like to make an Alford plea and forgo a trial.
