Kaitlyn Conely was sentenced to 23 years in prison after poisoning her ex-boyfriend's mother. At the sentencing, the poisoned victim's widower, William Yoder, retold accounts of how his wife had spent her final hours vomiting and suffering from diarrhea.
Just hours before those symptoms appeared, William said that his wife appeared to be the picture of health, according to The State report.
"To get even with my son, she decided to murder his mother," William was quoted in a report. Conley and Yoder's son were involved in a years-long, off-and-on romance.
Conley spoke during her sentencing in Oneida County, New York, Court, saying that she is innocent, with all respect to the justice system. In addition to her prison term, Conley will be under five years' post-release supervision, according to a People report.
