AP News, I'm Haya Punjwani, former president Donald Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts in his criminal hushmani trial. It's the first time a former president was ever tried or convicted in a criminal case, and it's the first of Trump's four indictments to reach trial. AP correspondent Michael Sissak reflects on the scene inside the courthouse. "Jurs deliberated for about nine hours over the last two days before delivering their verdict, Trump sat stone-faced, stoic looking down as the verdict was read in court. He then grasped his face with his hands looking exasperated as he heard the jurors affirm the verdict. Guilty, guilty, guilty, 34 times. Trump glared as he left the courtroom. He shook hands with the only family member he had there today, his son Eric Trump. Then he went into the hallway and railed against the decision. He called it a disgrace. Speaking to reporters, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg says the jury has spoken. "Today we have the most important voice of all, and that's the voice of the jurors. They have spoken." AP correspondent at Donahue reports on a verdict in an Idaho triple murder trial. A jury in Idaho convicted Chad DeBell of killing his wife and his girlfriend's two children. This case includes claims of apocalyptic prophecies, zombie children, and illicit affairs. A DeBell styled himself as a leader of what he called the "church of the first born." On all the charges, the verdict was... Guilty. ...killed were DeBell's wife Tammy DeBell and his girlfriend's two youngest kids, 16-year-old Tyler Ryan and 7-year-old Joshua Ballo. Lori Ballo 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. This is AP News.
