A family is preparing to face the man who killed a woman they love Wednesday.

Deona Marie Knajdek died in June 2021 when an SUV plowed through a protest in Uptown. Nicholas Kraus was behind the wheel. A judge will sentence him Wednesday morning.

Knajdek's mom Deb says her family supported a plea deal for Kraus instead of going to trial. Her only requirement: that he plead guilty to a level of murder.
