The verdict was reached after two days of deliberation following a weeks long court proceeding over whether Trump falsified business records to pay off porn actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.

Three years ago, Joel Hernandez built a small wooden shack under the 405 freeway cutting through Los Angeles. Hernandez has had similar homes be cleared in homeless encampment sweeps by state or city authorities over the years, so the 62-year-old is taking in stride that his days in his makeshift shelter on state-owned land might be numbered.
