I think Loomis meant that Owens was seen at the most recent pretrial hearing for Billy - not that Billy has had his last hearing before trial - in fact, I think he's got another pretrial scheduled next week.
Monday, May 13th:

Is Junk on FW's payroll? He seems to be trying to derail the case against the Wagners...
That one was added. On the Court Calendar it still shows she has her Thursday May 16, pre-trial, at 1:30pm.
Billy's this Wednesday at 1:30pm.
Wonder if she'll be wearing street clothes? All the others have except her.
It’s obvious where this is heading. The W’s attorneys most likely will be claiming they were framed just like originally thought. It is a shame that Reader and Junk are now giving them stuff to work with. Such a shame....
It's possible.Is Junk on FW's payroll? He seems to be trying to derail the case against the Wagners...
Wagner matriarch attorney wants hearing on evidence yet to be disclosed
Odd Rita’s discovery not turned over yet either jmo
I agree, but Deering can’t give too much time or the clock will run out jmoI think Judge Deering will cut some slack to Angela Canepa. She's trying to manage 6 different cases going through trial right now against 12 defense attorneys. If she needs more time to finish discovery, he'll probably grant it.

I believe that FW knows things on all political in her area and she is working behind the scene to get her family free, she is the type of person that will use every dirty trick she can, if she knows anything on the judge, prosecutors attorney or the sheriff it will come to light, how do all of the people reading this think they got rich and has stayed out of jail. JMO but I think Mr Junk and Mr Owens are in bed together with FW she is the Big Boss that calls all the shots, and IMO she has pulled all the strings to keep s certain politicians in office for many years, and JMO if the sheriff before Reader was still in power than FW would have made sure that her family stayed out of jail and never be charge for the Rhodens Family Murders.
SAME THOUGHTS.
I personally have always felt Junk was soft on certain people and dismissed way too many charges in the past and that Junk gets away with it.
In my mind, Sheriff Reader has always seemed credible, ethical, passionate about Justice. I believe him.
Reader indicated he intends to expose Junk so help me God (paraphrasing). IMO Reader knows that there is corruption involving Junk that goes very deep in Ohio.
Junk and a few others in Ohio are trying their best to silence Reader because they're scared of being exposed.
Totally me speculating.
THIS. THIS. THIS and THIS.
