“The kids still don’t have a mother, so it’s very rough,” Krista said.

Precious leaves behind seven children, three of them she shared with Nico Cunnigan.

Friday, both sides gave closing arguments.

Cunnigan’s lawyer said his client did not threaten Precious, who at the time was four months pregnant.

But prosecutors showed the jury video of Cunnigan.

In it, they said you could see Cunnigan pull out his gun and fire.

Julian Luckett, Deante Johnson’s uncle, said he was thankful for the verdict.

“I believe it gave us what we all want to see,” Luckett said.

Both families worked had works for Cunnigan.

“Nobody should be dead like the way the victims (are),” Luckett said.

Cunnigan’s sentence is scheduled for Aug. 29.
