"AP News, I'm Haya Punjani. Reaction continues to pour in after former President Donald Trump was convicted in his hush money trial. AP correspondent Norman Hall reports on what the scene is like outside Donald Trump's Florida residence." Former President Donald Trump is set to be sentenced July 11th, days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. GOP leaders who remain resolute in their support in the aftermath of the verdict are expected to formally make him their nominee. But pleases Trump's supporter Debbie Machia, who joined others outside the entrance to Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida residence. "We're here to support the President, like we always do. And that's it. Simple as that." Luke Waterman was pleased to see Trump convicted. "There's so many other horrible things he's done and lied about and put the country through." Trump is expected to appeal the verdict and return to campaigning. He's expected to appear Friday at Trump Tower and to hold fundraisers next week. I'm Norman Hall. The shares of the Trump Media and Technology Group, the owner of Social Networking Site Truth Social, have slumped after Trump was found guilty. AP corresponded Lisa Dwyer reports. Trump's media stock was down about 9 percent after hours trading Thursday. The stock has been extraordinarily volatile since its debut in late March. But the stock has also tripled since then, frequently making double-digit percentage moves either higher or lower on a single day. Earlier this month, Trump Media reported that it lost almost $328 million last quarter, with $311 million in non-cash expenses related to its merger with a company called Digital World Acquisition Corp.

A jury in Idaho convicted Chad DeBell of killing his wife and his girlfriends two children. This case includes claims of apocalyptic prophecies, zombie children and illicit affairs. Prosecutors say DeBell styled himself as a leader of what he called "the church of the first born." On all the charges, the verdict was "Yelty" killed were DeBell's wife Tammy DeBell and his girlfriend's two youngest kids, 16-year-old Tyler Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua Vallow. Lori Vallow DeBell was sentenced to life in prison without parole on the same charges last year. She married Chad DeBell just two weeks after Tammy DeBell was killed. The state has filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty and so a second phase of this trial called the sentencing phase will be taking place next. I'm Ed Donahue.
