NEWS IN BRIEF
Trump convicted on 34 counts in historic trial
For many people, the Malad Car show is the event that truly kicks off the summer season.
Malad Car Show Roars into Town! It’s been a week since school let out. The pool is now officially open. The temperature has been more often on the plus side of 60 than the minus side for a while now. But for many, the summer can’t really be said to have started until downtown is blocked off for the annual Malad Car Show, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, and drawing visitors from far and wide. The Car Show is a long-standing tradition, now in its thirty-third year. While the weather in June isn’t always exactly predicable, it hit the mark just about perfectly over the weekend, staying warm enough to be comfortable, and waiting until the event was pretty much over before it started to sprinkle. The Show brought many familiar faces into the valley—a lot of the owners make the trek to town every year like clockwork. And it also saw some new faces, as Mandi Hess took over the role Eric Crowther had become a familiar face in representing the Chamber. The courtyard near the veterans memorial filled with vendors of different types, including jewelry, crafts, beauty products, and of course, food. Between the food trucks, the open Legion Hall, classic music and amazing cars, there were something to keep everyone busy on Main Street. Although the competition was fierce, the following owners were named winners across the categories:

Hallie Horsley signs letter of intent with Butte College Allison Eliason For 93% of high school athletes, their competitive sports career ends when they put on that cap and gown. For most, that bittersweet ending is reasonable, considering their level of talent and knowing they have other achievements and goals to pursue. But for that small 7%, stepping onto the court or feeling that adrenaline rush at the start of the game isn’t just something they enjoy, but it is something that drives them. They thrive on that level of competition and are never satisfied unless they are the best. Malad High has had its fair share HALLIE HORSLEY On Page 12
Donald Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday when a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to an adult film star who said the two had a relationship that he found politically embarrassing. The sentencing will take place on July 11, which will be mere days before the GOP nominating convention for the 2024 presidency. An appeal of the verdict is a given in this case, which is likely to be the only one of Trump’s four criminal trials to reach any kind of resolution before the election. The conviction, and even potential imprisonment, will not technically bar him from continuing his run for the top office. It is considered unlikely by most experts that jail time will be imposed as a result of the convictions, though it is well within the sentencing guidelines for the crimes the former president now stands convicted of. A trial on federal gun charges began this week against Hunter Biden, in other high profile political crime news.

Mexico's projected presidential winner, Claudia Sheinbaum, became the first woman president in the country's 200-year history after a landslide victory. Sheinbaum is a climate scientist and former Mexico City mayor said Sunday night that her two competitors had called her and conceded her victory. The AP quoted the president-elect as saying: "I will become the first woman president of Mexico," speaking at a downtown hotel shortly after electoral authorities announced a statistical sample showed she held an irreversible lead. "I don't make it alone. We've all made it, with our heroines who gave us our homeland, with our mothers, our daughters and our granddaughters. We have demonstrated that Mexico is a democratic country with peaceful elections," she said. The National Electoral Institute's president said Sheinbaum had between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote, according to the statistical sample. Opposition candidate Xóchitl Gálvez had between 26.6% and 28.6% of the vote and Jorge Álvarez Máynez had between 9.9% and 10.8% of the vote.
Daybell sentenced to death
A jury determined that Chad Daybell should be sentenced to death for the murders of his first wife and the young children of his second wife, Lori Daybell Vallow. He was found guilty of all counts in a trail that had drawn intense international media attention. 7 year old JJ Vallow, and 16 year old Tylee Ryan were determined to have been killed by a conspiracy between the couple, as was Daybell’s first wife Tammy. Lori Vallow was sentenced to three life sentences in July of last year, and remains in Arizona where she will be tried for conspiracy to murder her husband Charles Vallow. As the trial has unfolded, a bizarre set of beliefs related to an idiosyncratic combination of religious ideas confounded many observers, although the couple still claims to sincerely believe in their claims about light and dark spirits. There are nine other individuals on Idaho’s death row. Idaho allows the firing squad as one of the methods of execution convicts may choose.
