Well - it looks like no trial - she plead guilty. The article I found you have to have a subscription - but see this:


Feb. 25, 2025

With trial slated to begin, a mother pleaded guilty to allowing her 3-year-old daughter to die from a 17-pound tumor in January 2019.
Jury selection was scheduled to begin in Comanche County District Judge Jay Walker’s courtroom in the trial of Bonnie Beth Mills-Lilly, 48, tried for felony charges of first-degree manslaughter and manslaughter, records indicate. The manslaughter count is punishable by no less than four years in prison.


If anyone can find out how many years she got - it would be appreciated. This is the only article that came up for me when I searched. TIA! :)
 
Looks like she was not sentenced yet...


Feb. 26, 2025
LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - A Comanche Co. woman has pleaded guilty to charges of first-degree manslaughter and child abuse in the death of her 3-year-old daughter.
[.....]
Bonnie’s sentencing is set for late April.



So - @PayrollNerd - I just need the date of her sentencing hearing! TIA! :)
