The sentencing trial will occur on Thursday and Friday, with the sentence likely handed down the following week.

Ms. Ticehurst's cousin, Melissa Shaw, emphasized that each family member grieves differently and that Molly's passing has left an enduring impact. Billings arrived at court on Thursday in a black suit and police van, greeted by supporters wearing T-shirts reading "#HernameisMolly."
