UTICA, N.Y. -- Kaitlyn Conley, a 24-year-old woman convicted in November of first-degree manslaughter in the death of Mary Yoder, was sentenced to 23 years in prison today in Oneida County Court, according to media reports.

Conley faced a minimum of five years and a maximum of 25 years in prison.

Mary Yoder, 60, of Whitesboro was Conley's boss and the mother of Conley's ex-boyfriend, Adam Yoder.

Conley was initially charged with second-degree murder. She was accused of poisoning Mary Yoder using colchicine.

Her first trial ended in a hung jury in May 2017.

At her second trial, Judge Michael Dwyer told jurors they could consider first-degree manslaughter. That jury at one point told the judge they couldn't reach a decision, but the judge told them to keep deliberating.

The jury eventually convicted her of manslaughter.

Conley, who never testified during her two trials, spoke briefly at the sentencing today, according to media reports.

At today's sentencing, two of Mary Yoder's sisters, Liana Hegde and Tamaryn Yoder, asked the judge to give Conley the maximum sentence, according to media reports.

Mary Yoder's widower, William Yoder, and her son, Adam Yoder, also asked the judge to impose the maximum sentence, according to media reports.

William Yoder said Kaitlyn Conley "had a fight with my son..and then murdered his mother."

Another of Mary Yoder's sisters, Janine King, spoke at the sentencing, saying she believes Conley is innocent and asked for leniency, according to media accounts.

The family of Kaitlyn Conley has hired John Cirando of Syracuse to handle the appeal of Conley's conviction. Her sisters organized a letter-writing campaign supporting Conley's character and proclaiming her conviction as wrongful.

The case attracted national attention, and the NBC television show "Dateline" devoted an hour-long episode in late November to the case.
