A Snohomish County judge sentenced a Marysville man April 21 to more than 90 years in prison for a drive-by shooting that killed 15-year-old Molly Conley.

Erick Walker, 28, showed no emotion as Superior Court Judge Thomas Wynne handed down the sentence. Walker is expected to appeal, and his attorney, Mark Mestel, advised Walker not to say anything.

Walker has denied shooting Molly on June 1, 2013. He also has denied being responsible for gunfire at occupied homes between Lake Stevens and Marysville hours later.

Molly was in Lake Stevens, celebrating her 15th birthday with friends, when she was gunned down.

A jury last month convicted Walker of first-degree manslaughter.
