    Do convicted people not have the right of appeal now?

    I couldn’t give less of a shit what happens to Hunter Biden, but this is pretty standard for someone facing prison time, isn’t it?

        As far as I know, you have the right to appeal even if you can’t afford a lawyer. Your appeal will just probably fail. But then Hunter’s appeal might fail. I’m not saying the justice system is fair, but this particular story seems like it would be something anyone in his situation would do.
