Kaitlyn Conley, the New York woman who was convicted for her role in the fatal poisoning of her ex-boyfriend’s mother, is speaking out in a new docuseries.
The three-part Hulu docuseries,Little Miss Innocent: Passion. Poison. Prison, will feature Conley, a 31-year-old former receptionist who claims she has been wrongfully convicted of the 2015 killing of Mary Yoder, her former boss and the mother of her ex-boyfriend, Adam.
For the first time since her 2018 sentencing, Conley breaks her silence, staunchly maintaining her innocence while detailing her allegedly toxic relationship with Adam and offering her theories on who killed Mary, and why.
(An exclusive clip of the docuseries, which premieres Friday, Sept. 20, only on Hulu, is shown below.)
Prosecutors said Conley poisoned 60-year-old Yoder, for whom she had workedfor four years, as revenge against Yoder’s son, Adam,thePost-Standardreported. Yoder, a Whitesboro, N.Y., chiropractor, died in July 2015.
According to thePost-Standard, authorities said Conley used colchicine — a medicine used to treat gout — to poison Yoder.
Conley had known Adam since 2011 and the two had dated off and on before Yoder’s death,according to theUtica Observer-Dispatch. But their relationship was turbulent, and Conley’s defense reportedly contended at trial that Adam wasabusive and controlling.
