He was found guilty of first-degree burglary, false imprisonment, aggravated kidnapping, and several other charges.        Wall Street is closing with stocks mixed to end the week.

Earlier this week, Nvidia briefly surpassed Microsoft as the most valuable public company.       Americans on either side of the political aisle want civility and an end to partisan gridlock.

Three-quarters also said that politicians encourage division out of their own self-interest.        A'ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark lead in the first voting returns for the WNBA All-Star Game.
