Bill says the best thing to do is keep Conley locked away for as long as possible - asking for max sentence.

Adam Yoder, Mary’s son, chooses to speak - he says his mother’s shoes are impossible to fill.

Adam says he wants the lies about his relationship with his mother, and the lies about his parents’ relationship to stop - he looks directly at Conley family.

Adam says his most unforgivable mistake, is introducing Conley to his family

“Make no mistake. I hate Kaitlyn Ann Conley because she murdered my mother.” - Adam

Adam says while he hates Katie, he hates himself even more.

Now that family members are done speaking, defense is asking to call people to speak to refute what the Yoder family said.

Judge says Policelli can only have one person speak and only about the sentencing.

Judge asks King, “If Adam Yoder was sitting in that chair, what would you want his sentence to be?” “I have no answer to that.”

Judge tells Policelli that he’s read ever letter that’s been sent to him on Conley’s behalf.

Policelli reads from letters written on Conley’s behalf - describes the defendant as a kind and loving young woman.

“You could not ask for a more model citizen in society.” ~ Policelli

Policelli says everything said about Conley being a murderer is not relevant to this case based on the verdict the jury reached.


Huh? :thinking:


Policelli says he believes Conley should only be sentenced to 5 years.

Thanks for the tweets Niner.

:blush: You are all welcome! My pleasure!

So what does "determinate sentence" mean? :thinking:

 

[Niner]

found my answer.... this is for New York:

Determinate Sentences

Determinate sentences are sentences imposed for violent felonies. They are periods of incarceration in state prison. They include a single number that represents the time a person will spend in prison, and another number that represents a period of post release supervision. Post release supervision is another word for parole (created after New York politicians claimed they were eliminating parole for violent offenders, if memory serves). So the sentence may be described as something like "5 determinate, 2 1/2 post release supervision". On a determinate sentence a defendant has to serve 6/7 of the time before s/he can be released. Long story about what happens to that other 1/7. If a person on a determinate sentence is released s/he will then be under post release supervision,.
