Delayed Justice: The Mental Health Card in the Molly Ticehurst Case The NSW Supreme Court's decision to delay sentencing in the case of Daniel Billings, who murdered his former partner Molly Ticehurst, has sparked outrage among advocates for victims' families.
At issue is not just the timing of the delay, but also the invocation of mental health as a defense strategy that could potentially reduce the charge from murder to manslaughter.
The Ticehurst family has already spoken out about the failures of the justice system in allowing Billings to be granted bail after his arrest. Now they're facing another setback: a delay in sentencing.
