Nikki Kuhnhausen’s mother and supporters exhaled a collective sigh of relief Friday as a judge announced that David Bogdanov was found guilty of second-degree murder and malicious harassment in the transgender teen’s death.
As the hate-crime verdict was read, Kuhnhausen’s supporters quietly exclaimed “yes!” with tears in their eyes.
“We were all holding hands while we were awaiting the verdict to be read and that was really powerful,” Justice for Nikki task force member Linden Walls said after the reading.
