indictments. fox's connor hansen joins us live tonight from lower manhattan with details on today's verdict. connor >> mike. julie. truly a remarkable night here. that jury less than two full days of deliberation before they convicted former president donald trump of 34 counts of falsifying business records. those are all felonies. now it only took them less than a less. like i said, less than two full days of deliberation. you can hear the former president defiant after that verdict was read. >> and i think it's just a disgrace. and we'll keep fighting. we'll fight till the end and we'll win because our country has gone to #### we don't have the same country anymore. we have a divided mess. >> the jury found mr. trump falsified business records to cover up a hush money payment made to an adult film star,
6:01 pm
stormy daniels, who said she had an affair with trump. the $130,000 payment made by mr. trump's former attorney, michael cohen, to daniels in the days before the 2016 election. trump pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied an affair. the jury heard more than four weeks of testimony, including from prosecutors, key witness michael cohen and stormy daniels. trump's defense team has vowed to appeal the decision. here's manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, who brought the charges. speaking earlier this afternoon. >> while this defendant may be unlike any other in american history, we arrived at this trial and ultimately today at this verdict in the same manner as every other case that comes through the courtroom doors, by following the facts and the law and doing so without fear or favor, and the former
6:02 pm
president's sentencing will be on july 11th, just a few days before the republican convention. >> and again, those are felonies. that sentence could carry anything from probation to prison time, even though that's highly unlikely. what that sentence will be will be up to judge juan merchan alone. and again, a reminder this is just one of four cases the former president is facing, but likely the only one before the november election. >> and connor, as those guilty verdicts were read in the courtroom, all 34 one by one. what was the reaction among those inside the courthouse? >> well, we were getting constant updates from our coworkers who are inside watching this happen and mind you, none of us were really expecting to get the verdict. this early on in the process. definitely not this afternoon.
6:03 pm
so as soon as the jury wrote a note saying they had a verdict, we're told it went dead silent. you could hear a pin drop in there. both sides sat at that table for about 30 minutes before the verdict was read, and then, of course, out here outside the courtroom, we saw people celebrating the verdict. but some people, supporters of former president trump, protesting against it. >> but it seems all quiet tonight. behind you. >> so far, things have really quieted down compared to right after that verdict was read. but police are on high alert just in case there are any protests that pick up around the city. but so far we have not seen much. the former president is expected to speak again tomorrow morning at trump tower. >> all right. connor hansen reporting live for us tonight on a very busy day in new york. connor >> thank you. well, the first felony conviction of a former president has sent shock waves across the political spectrum. >> ktvu political reporter greg lee joins us now with reaction
6:04 pm
as well as the implications on the race for the white house. yeah, guys, as you would expect, strong reactions on both sides of this verdict. >> some republicans digging in and their defense of mr. trump just over five months from that november election, democrats and president biden's team using the decision to urge people to vote. the white house has avoided commenting on the trial this afternoon. biden's campaign communications director wrote this there is still only one way to keep donald trump out of the oval office at the ballot box. convicted felon or not, trump will be the republican nominee for president, house speaker mike johnson said today is a shameful day in american history. democrats cheered as they convicted the leader of the opposing party on ridiculous charges predicated on the testimony of a disbarred, convicted felon. this was a purely political exercise, not a legal one. now, looking ahead to november, it is clear this will fire up mr. trump's base. but political experts say it could hurt that campaign in trying to expand. excuse me, expand its reach in an incredibly tight race. >> there's a set of habitual
6:05 pm
regular gop voters who won't vote for a convicted felon. this number is small, but it's important on the margins. if you're a candidate like donald trump, who's tapped out at about 46 or 47% of the popular vote, you're going to have to do something about turnout and worries related to that. >> now, mr. trump's team has vowed to appeal this ruling, which could delay the sentencing. as you heard, connor say, sentencing currently scheduled for july 11th, again for days just before the republican national convention, where he is expected to be formally nominated by his party, which should point out mr. trump is scheduled to be in san francisco one week from today for a fundraiser in the city. and when you look back on his political career, i just writing a couple things. >> he's endured two impeachments, allegations of sexual abuse, investigations into potential ties into russia, among other things. and now we have this i mean, going into the convention, is anything going to change with the republican party? >> what has happened at each
6:06 pm
turn and what we've already seen some some of those republicans is, again digging in and saying, we continue to support this man. in fact, it's made him stronger in those incidents because he's raised a ton of money tonight already. his campaign contribution site crashed because supporters were getting behind him. the question is now how does this impact him with independents? how does this impact with long time republicans? like mcewen said, there those that always vote republican. but can they stand behind it at this point? >> a convicted felon, but not at the convention. no one's going to raise their hand and go, wait, maybe we should think about this for a second. >> no, not i mean, at this point, nobody is giving any inclination to the party all standing in line behind him. at least the loud ones. the question is, what does a mitch mcconnell do? what are some of those long time hawkish republicans do? do they stand up? but so far, what they've shown in the past is that they will not. >> on the other side of this, we talked about this earlier at five, is the implications on what today's guilty verdicts mean for the judicial system in this country. >> yeah, and that's a big part of it. right. and i think you've
6:07 pm
already started to see some of those discussion. former president trump standing up and saying this was rigged. you saw mike johnson saying this was planned by the biden administration, that this was all a political ploy. but the bottom line is this is how the judicial system works. if any of us were to be arrested, we would go to trial and they would select a jury. and that jury of your peers then would make a decision. so there will continue to be out of this questions by mr. trump's campaigns trying to sow doubt upon the judicial system. but the bottom line is this is how it works. >> and this is one of four cases that mr. trump is facing. so what now happens with the other three? >> they will continue. but again, at this point those are unlikely to happen before november. and in fact, when you look at the scope of these cases, specifically the classified documents case in florida, as well as the election interference case from federal prosecutors and jack smith, this case in new york was deemed by law experts to really sort of be the weakest of the bunch, and yet they found him guilty on those 34 counts. so you look at those other prosecutors, they must be wondering what can come
6:08 pm
for them next. all right. >> president biden, donald trump still slated to debate next month. president biden brings this up over and over again. >> you think during that, you have to imagine now that with how the polls have been showing mr. trump leading biden and especially those swing states, he's got to come out swinging. yes. and they sharpen the knives a little bit on these attacks and sharpen the knives as it relates to what we've seen in this trial. >> all right, greg, thank you. greg well, the conviction of a former president and current presidential candidate has now opened a pandora's box of legal questions. >> and for more on this, we are joined by david levine, professor at uc law, san francisco. david let's get into it. probation or four years in prison. i mean, donald trump doesn't appear to be showing any remorse so far, but he also doesn't have a criminal record. so what will the judge do when it comes to sentencing? here >> well, mike and julie, it's going to be really interesting, what the prosecution is going to press for some sort of a jail, a
6:09 pm
prison sentence, i'm sure, and mr. trump's people will say that he doesn't deserve any time in prison at all, they will look at things like the fact that he was convicted of ten violations of the gag order. but there are 34 convictions here that that, clip that you showed of mr. trump coming out of the courtroom shows zero remorse, which is you would like to see if you're going to go for a lesser sentence. so i think the chances are pretty good that this justice is going to say that mr. trump should spend at least some time in prison and a substantial time on probation, but but there's a lot of range, and there's. we still have many weeks to go before the middle of july. >> david, what would you say after hearing today's guilty verdicts? what are the biggest legal and constitutional national consequences facing president trump? now? >> give us a venue change. >> well, you have to look at what are they going to, try to build an appeal on, and they're
6:10 pm
going to build an appeal on, the fact that, mr. that mr. cohen, is a convicted liar. but of course, there's much more evidence. yes, they will raise the question of whether stormy daniels should have been allowed to testify in such great detail as she was, whether it was appropriate for justice mershon to leave it up to the jury members to decide which crimes, mr. trump was trying to do to cover up, this payoff, so there's a number of issues there, but i do think the prosecution put on a very, very strong case, as evidenced by the fact that at the end of the day, after only 9.5 hours of deliberation, 12 people who didn't know each other before this, who listened to all the evidence, who looked at it carefully, came to the conclusion that mr. trump was guilty on all 34 counts. so it's a pretty strong case going into
6:11 pm
appeal. i think the prosecution has to feel pretty good about their chances of being upheld on appeal. what about the prosecution, david? >> do you think the da is going to request prison time? >> oh, i think so, mr. bragg, today in his press conference was a bit circumspect about that. but i'll bet that they will ask for at least some prison time and then some sort of probation. maybe house arrest, something like that. but i think they're going to have to say not to interrupt, david, but if it's house arrest, that means he probably can't leave new york, can't campaign. >> so that is a possibility. >> well, depending on when they begin the sentence, mike, because as a practical matter, he probably would not begin to serve the sentence until after the appeals were exhausted. and that's going to take beyond the election. so i don't think that that would happen, or maybe it would be something like, you know, you can go out two days a week. but i think as a practical matter, nothing is really going to happen to him until the appeals are exhausted. and that
6:12 pm
will take some time. >> and what do you think about his political standing? do you think that's affected by today's guilty verdicts? >> well, among his supporters, i think it looks like in the short term it's going to help him, certainly he's going to do more fundraising off of this. where it's really going to matter are people who are persuadable in the swing states. the handful of states that are going to decide this and are there going to be people who are going to say, well, it is all political, or they're going to say, wait a minute. look at what happened. look at what the jury decided that he covered up payments to a star, and people some people may not take kindly to that. and this is a game of inches. these are going to be very, very close elections in many of the swing states. and so moving ten, ten votes and, you know, wisconsin and pennsylvania could make a huge difference. so it could
6:13 pm
really matter politically. but certainly in the short term you have his supporters, saying this is all political and we have to run on this, but but we'll see which way it cuts. but i guess we just won't know until coming down the line in a few months. >> all right. as always, david levine, a professor at uc law, san francisco, we appreciate your time. thanks for being with us tonight. i'm pleased. >> very pleased, i cannot believe that he'd be our president. >> still to come tonight. more reaction from bay area voters on today's conviction and the response from the california republican party. also head tonight another day of witness testimony in the state trial against david depape. >> and one big name expected to take the stand tomorrow. no. >> and we're cruising into the weekend. well, almost. and temperatures are changing. it was hot today. hottest day of the week. and then this weekend not so i'll see you back here with that. >> also ahead, a special needs student hit by a gel gun and a drive by shooting right outside

counts linked to a hush money payment to an adult film star. the former president repeated his claims that the trial was politically motivated. the prosecution said the jurors made their decision based on the evidence and the law. sentencing is set for july 11th, just days before the republican national convention in milwaukee. legal analysts say trump is unlikely to be sentenced to any prison time. we asked some people today in walnut creek their thoughts on the sentence. >> it's too bad that the maximum sentence would be four years max. i hope the judge doesn't give him the minimum, which probably be a slap on the hand. >> he absolutely should serve everyone else when they when they commit a crime, they go to jail. he deserves to be treated just like any other american citizen. when they commit a crime, they go to jail. he should go to jail just like everybody else. >> and we did speak with some trump supporters who declined to go on camera today. and in a statement, the california republican party chair called

6:20 pm
will likely have to deal with the aftermath of this incident for the rest of his life. now we are expecting paul pelosi to take the stand tomorrow, friday, at some point in time. the case expected to stretch into next week. it could be in the jury's hands by the end of next week in san francisco. christien kafton ktvu fox two news in the east bay, california, high school in san ramon was placed on lockdown after police say school staff received a phone call threatening violence. >> officers searched the campus and explosive detection. canines were also brought on to school grounds, police eventually giving the all clear and lifted that lockdown. but security measures did remain in effect for quite some time. officers stayed on campus and people from outside the high school were prohibited from entering the school grounds. >> fremont police are investigating a shooting incident that wounded a high school high school senior. police believe it was a gel gun attack that bruised the arm of kennedy high school student josh hawkins on wednesday, the special needs student was

6:32 pm
big implications on the november election. for more now, we are joined by our political analyst, brian sobel. so, brian, first off, your thoughts. what's the biggest significance as those 34 guilty verdicts were handed down today? >> well, first of all, all americans ought to look at this day as beyond being historic. also a very sad day in american history, it is unprecedented. and it's something that the american public will have to deal with, especially julie, as we move towards the november election and how people will react to this on both sides of the aisle, and especially among voters. it remains to be seen, but it's going to be interesting. >> also historic is we have a candidate, a presumptive nominee here, campaigning on his criminal conviction. will donald trump take a big hit from this moving forward, especially if he's actually sentenced brian to any prison time here? and that sentencing is just four days before the republican national
6:33 pm
convention. >> right. milwaukee, looms large , at the time of donald trump's sentencing. but you know, mike, this may be something that actually among his base, gives him a bounce if, the american public who lean, towards the republican party think that this has been a political, put up job, the president, i think, joe biden is doing the right thing by essentially saying that donald trump has to be beaten at the ballot box, because i think if he were to say anything else, i think that would galvanize even additional people to say, oh, well, this this whole thing came from the democrat side of the aisle. but at the end of the day, donald trump has to has to deal with being convicted, on 34 felony counts and, and that was a jury of, of 12 people in new york who came to that conclusion. brian brian, you touched on president biden. what
6:34 pm
do you think this means for his campaign? do you think what happened to donald trump today could actually give president biden a boost? >> we're all kind of waiting to see julie, whether that's the case, there may be an initial, bump, but if this was any other candidate, i think, other than joe biden and donald trump, i think you might be seeing a different, a different outcome here. i think, enough democrats are concerned about the biden campaign and about the president that, that this is something that, if or another candidate, they would say, hey, game done, game over, but with this happening with donald trump and with these two people in the race, i think it's going to take a little while, frankly, to see how this fleshes out among the american voters. it's just it's very, very, interesting and fascinating. >> kind of a side note here, but how big are the debates between joe biden and donald trump going
6:35 pm
to be in regards to the election in november? >> great question. i, i think, you know, with this as a backdrop, these debates will will be more beneficial to donald trump than joe biden unless joe biden comes ready to ready to debate and i think, there are people that feel like in a one on one situation, there's a good chance that donald trump has the advantage. but joe biden has has shown up and done well in the past and may very well do it again. but it gives, mike, to your point. it gives the american voters another look at both of these candidates in both of those debates. they're going to be a very, very important. yeah yeah. >> brian, when it comes to the international stage, how do you think this will play out among global audiences? >> that's the thing. i think that's a bit, hurtful, in the bigger picture is people around the world look at us as a very
6:36 pm
stable democracy. these things don't usually happen to people who have, held high office. i mean, and in this case, it's the first time we can go back and look at richard nixon, who was probably facing the same sort of, situation had he not resigned and been pardoned by gerald ford. but but it's just unsettling internationally because we are considered a beacon. and, when this kind of thing happens, it says, hey, in a sense, it says, hey, the united states is human. >> we'll leave it there. political analyst brian silva, always a pleasure. appreciate the time. brian >> you're very welcome. >> thanks, brian. still ahead tonight, a successful violence prevention program in san francisco looks forward to expansion. have more space will help united players serve more of the community. >> and just a quick reminder here that you can get ktvu on demand on your smart tv through the fox local app. you can watch live newscasts and see all kinds of in-depth content from our newsroom on a variety of topics.
