An attorney for rapper Kodak Black is ripping into Hunter Biden's prison-free plea deal, noting his client got sentenced to more than three years in prison for the same federal weapons crime that Biden is alleged to have committed.
"There's no such thing as not getting jail time on a gun charge, on any kind of gun charge," Black's attorney, Bradford Cohen, said in an interview published Tuesday.

Black, born Dieuson Octave, was sentenced to over three years in prison in 2019 after the artist pleaded guilty to weapons charges and confessed he had falsified information on federal paperwork to purchase at least four guns at a Miami-area gun store, according to a report.
After 46 months, former President Donald Trump pardoned the artist.
Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts relating to failure to pay his federal income taxes and enter a pretrial diversion agreement relating to the charge of possessing a gun while being an unlawful user or person addicted to a controlled substance, the report noted.
"Two tiers of justice? Kodak was charged for the same crime," Cohen said.
"Got over three years. Mr. Biden will not serve a day. Feels right? Do FBI agents and federal authorities take cases personally?"
The deal reached between the Department of Justice and the son of President Joe Biden is out of line with the actions of any normal prosecutor for federal crimes involving public figures, according to Cohen.
"I’ve never seen anyone where this offense was charged, and they didn't get some sort of prison sentence," the attorney said.
"And in fact, most of the time in federal court, you very rarely see people get anything but a prison sentence."
The case against actress Felicity Huffman is a prime example, according to Cohen.
"So, in this Felicity Huffman case, to give the woman two weeks in prison, you know that you actually have to surrender yourself going for two weeks, change her clothes out to all this stuff, for literally 14 days. And this guy gets absolutely nothing? I've just never seen it happen" he said.
"A federal crime is supposed to be a federal crime ... And federal crimes are supposed to be very serious federal crimes, and that's why you look at prison sentences."
Cohen then took aim at the rare use of a "diversion program" in a federal case.

"I think that this is like, you know, they figured the easiest way for them to save face [was] to charge him, not give him prison, and then hope that [Joe] Biden doesn't give him a pardon until he's on his way out in two years," Cohen said.
"So, they get a of couple years of probation out of them."
