Future of Kaitlyn Conley uncertain after two murder trials and a conviction

It's unclear what's next for Kaitlyn Conley, the woman accused of poisoning her ex-boyfriend's mother and boss Mary Yoder, after two murder trials and a conviction.

Her first trial ended with a hung jury. 

Her second finished with an acquittal on the most serious charge — second-degree murder — and a conviction for the lesser crime of manslaughter.

Then, in January, the legal saga of Kaitlyn Conley took another unexpected turn: A New York appellate court overturned the 2017 conviction in the fatal poisoning of her boss, a killing the prosecutor had described as “cold-hearted and diabolical.” 

The problem, the appeals panel concluded, was that her defense had not done enough to stop prosecutors from introducing key evidence — details from Conley’s cellphone obtained through what the ruling described as an improperly written warrant.

Mary Yoder.DatelineConley was released from prison earlier this year, and Oneida County District Attorney Todd Carville is weighing whether his office should pursue a third trial. He told “Dateline” he is reviewing the case. The Oneida County Sheriff’s Department, which investigated the death, did not respond to requests for comment.
