Trenton Frye was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his ex-girlfriend Katlyn Lyon Montgomery. The victim's family had been seeking justice for over four years, and they finally received closure with the guilty verdict.
The trial was highly publicized, and it attracted a lot of attention from the media and the public. The prosecution presented evidence that Frye had gathered intel on Katlyn before her death, including gas station surveillance footage showing him dressed in black, which suggested he was attempting to remain stealthy.
In his defense, Frye claimed that he did not commit the crime and that the prosecution's theory was far-fetched. However, the jury ultimately rejected his claims, finding him guilty of first-degree murder.
During the trial, Katlyn's family members testified about their experiences with domestic violence and how it has affected them. They also spoke about the impact of Frye's actions on Milani, Katlyn's daughter, who will now grow up without her mother.
Frye's sentencing was later delayed due to a request from his defense team for more time to review evidence. However, in the end, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The verdict and sentencing have brought some measure of closure to Katlyn's family, but they also acknowledge that the pain and trauma of losing their loved one will never fully go away. Crystal Sale, Katlyn's mother, has spoken publicly about the need for more support and resources for families affected by domestic violence, stating that "everybody deserves to be loved."

. They always make these "innovative" features that sound cool but end up being super frustrating in real life. Like this trial, it was all about the evidence and surveillance footage. Can you imagine trying to access those videos on a platform? You'd be scrolling through hours of grainy gas station security footage 
. It's just so unnecessary! And don't even get me started on how hard it is to find that kind of content in the first place. Maybe just stick to what they're good at: sharing cat videos 
.
it's so sad what happened to katlyn... i feel like her family finally got some justice but at what cost? life in prison is a pretty harsh sentence 
i can only imagine how hard it must've been for them to go through all that, especially the little girl milani... 
does anyone know if there's any resources out there to help with stuff like this? her mom crystal is talking about needing more support and i think she's right 
just can't believe it took so long for justice to be served... four years is way too long for a person to suffer like that. hope katlyn's family gets the closure they deserve and can finally start to heal 
. I wish there was more support for families like that, you know? They don't just need justice, they need a safety net to catch them when things go wrong 
. It's crazy how some people can be so destructive in their relationships... and the surveillance footage is wild, dude 
.
. i feel bad for milani too, growing up w/o her mom is just heartbreaking 
. cant we just talk about this more tho? like, how can we help prevent this kinda thing from happening again? 
some1 needs to start a support group or something 
. Domestic violence survivors deserve so much more than just a guilty verdict 
.
this trial was literally all over the news and i was low-key invested in katlyn's family getting justice finally! i feel so bad for milani tho, she's gonna grow up without her mom and that's just heartbreaking 
.
This verdict might bring closure to Katlyn's family, but it's a harsh reality check that will take a lifetime to process. The pain and trauma of losing a loved one never fully goes away, it just changes shape... and for Milani, growing up without her mom will be an unrelenting struggle 
. She's gonna grow up without her mom, and that's just heartbreaking. I wish there was more support out there for kids like her. We need more resources for families affected by domestic violence, you know? It's not just about the victims, it's also about their loved ones who are left to pick up the pieces.
. Why do these things happen?! I guess we'll just have to keep pushing forward and advocating for change, right?
