Former President Donald Trump was convicted on 34 counts of financial fraud related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.

Trump faces possible home confinement or jail time, and has expressed willingness to accept either sentence despite concerns about public perception.

His legal team plans to appeal the verdict, with sentencing scheduled before the Republican National Convention in July.

The NAACP president believes Trump's conviction should disqualify him from the presidency, emphasizing the importance of voting for democratic leaders.

President Biden defended the justice system against accusations of a rigged verdict, while Trump's lawyer aims to take the case to the Supreme Court.

Concerns about potential political violence surrounding the upcoming presidential election on November 5 remain high, particularly related to Trump's claims of fraud.

The irony of Trump's conviction in the same courthouse where the Central Park Five were wrongly convicted has been noted by many, including exonerated individuals like Yusef Salaam who see it as a form of justice.
