I want to start this letter off first and foremost by saying your family has my support 100% on Kaitlyn's innocence. I believe she was wrongfully accused and charged on the lesser charge of manslaughter for the simple fact that Judge and the prosecution team wanted it to look like the solved this case. I have watched the initial trial and re trial very closely. From the start everyone can see that this case was handled very poorly to say the least.

I am writing this letter in response to the horrific miscarriage of justice that has taken place in the conviction of Ms. Kaitlyn Conley. There was not one particle of evidence presented that could be called anything but circumstantial. The trial was an embarrassment to our legal system and to any official who played a role in it. An innocent young woman has had her life altered irreparably and her family has been made to suffer for no apparent reason, other than District Attorney McNamara needing a conviction after foolishly granting immunity to the real perpetrators!

I have known the Conley family for 16 years and my daughter was a close, childhood friend of Kaitlyn's. The Kaitlyn I know is a devout, poised, intelligent, articulate, and moral young lady. She was raised to be truthful, generous, and compassionate. Her family is close, loving, and supportive. There is not one cell in my entire body that believes, even slightly, that Kaitlyn could be guilty of poisoning Mary Yoder.

How could a juror with normal intelligence and any shred of conscience have cast a guilty verdict? Guilt has certainly not been proven beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt, and both trials led to more unanswered questions than it has answers.

I had the pleasure of meeting her one-day while dropping off freshly picked apples from our yard to her home in Sauquoit. We (my fiancé and I), had her parents over for dinner a week or so prior and through conversation, learned how much Kaitlyn enjoyed making apple crisp. Knowing what Kaitlyn was going through, we were (and always will be), willing to help however we can.

I am writing this letter in support of Katie. My name is (Name Redacted) and I currently reside in Charlottesville, VA. I was born and raised in upstate NY and graduated high school from Sauquoit Valley. My cousin Jackie Keida (engaged to Brian Davoli), told me about the case a few weeks before trial #1. I was able to follow the entire trial via Twitter and was not at all surprised with a hung jury outcome.
