Kaitlyn Conley, the woman whose manslaughter conviction in the fatal poisoning of her boss was recently overturned, is now a free woman.

The Oneida County district attorney confirmed to Spectrum News 1 that Conley was released Tuesday.

Her appeal was granted on the grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel last Friday after more than seven years in prison. According to the decision, Conley’s attorneys failed to properly move to suppress the evidence obtained from her cell phone deemed to be beyond the scope of the warrant.

“That's obviously frustrating because you try to do everything you can to to do what's right and to do your role and your part. And we felt we did that as an office. And then for it to be brought back, seemingly for nothing that we did, is difficult," said Oneida County District Attorney Todd Carville.

The DA argued Conley needed to be held for 45 days as he worked on her case for a possible re-submission to a grand jury. His request was denied.

Conley was serving a 23-year prison sentence for first-degree manslaughter for the poisoning of Mary Yoder, who was also her ex-boyfriend's mother, in 2015.

Carville was not the district attorney during Conley’s trials, and although he was working in the district attorney's office, he was not a part of the prosecution of the case.

“We have to really evaluate the evidence now and make a determination as to whether or not there's legal sufficiency to move forward to a grand jury based upon their opinion that not only the cell phone evidence, but any evidence that came up, came along as a part of the cell phone evidence will likely be suppressed," he said.

When asked about how long his office has to make that determination, Carville said, “We need to evaluate that, as well to determine what time frame will be counted as a result of the other two trials for speedy trial purposes, for statute of limitation purposes. But we are going to get right to it.”

Carville said the district attorney's office had three aides working exclusively on the case for a few months to get it prepared for the second trial.
