Episode Details

A chilling case unfolds as ex-boyfriend Daniel Billings brutally murders young mother Molly Ticehurst in a home invasion, just days after threatening her life — and while he was out on bail for prior crimes. Prosecutors call it “public justice,” since she was set to testify against him in a sexual assault trial. Evidence shows he returned to his car within 59 seconds of the attack, even singing a doomsday song en route — proof of premeditation. Confessions from Billings are inconsistent, sometimes claiming he only wanted to talk — until she screamed. Now, the court weighs whether to offer him a sentence reduction for an early guilty plea, despite the horrific nature of the crime — including the murder of her puppy and destruction of property.
