Mickhal Garrett, the father of four-year-old Aniya Day-Garrett is hugged following the reading of the verdict of both Sierra Day and Deonte Lewis. The mother of his child, Sierra Day, and her boyfriend, Deonte Lewis, were found guilty on all charges in the death of Aniya.

Garrett stated Aniya repeatedly told him she wanted to live with him and not her mother.

On Tuesday, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner testified Aniya suffered a stroke weeks to months before her death and was severely malnourished.

On Wednesday, the defense rested without calling any witnesses.

Closing arguments concluded at approximately 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday.

The jury then deliberated for about an hour, before reaching a verdict around 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
