Alexwood, see that's what the jury hungers for, IMO. I don't think there's been enough hints at an emotional motive presented by the Prosecution. Conley started trying to order the colchicine at the end of December 2014. Now, maybe I missed it because not being in the courtroom makes it hard to follow a trial, but I wanted emotional tidbit details for that time period. I wanted to hear all about Adam and Kaitlyn, if they were in contact and getting along, or were they broken up with Adam dating someone else. You do a great job painting that emotional abstract. I worry some of the jury might not be able to grasp a senseless emotional motive without help.

Thank you, Curious, for keeping us on our toes and soliciting our opinions. As you can see, mine changes daily! But, as you pointed out, Conley first sought to get her hands on some colchicine in 2014! She wasn't mad (YET!) at Dr. Mary, I don't believe. I do think, like some of you guys, that Conley first attempted to poison Adam. Then, when that didn't work, she "hung onto" the colchicine, maybe with the idea that she might try to use it again on Adam, if things continued to "go south." She'd make darned sure it worked the next time, though. But, in her heart (believe it or not, she has one or wouldn't be alive), she really wanted to be loved and cherished by Adam. She wanted to marry him -- and be a part of his family. The only reason she got hold of the colchicine was because Adam didn't seem to be interested in a future with her.
I do believe that Conley has a personality disorder called: "Borderline Personality." (Moo-Moo!) This is just my own opinion! Take it for what it's worth ($00.00)! I don't know anything for certain, and am not qualified to diagnose anyone with anything!
That Adam was doing his best to keep his distance from Conley, also made her angry enough to want to attempt to poison him again, but she never had another opportunity to use the colchicine on Adam. And, there may have been a few occasions where they reunited for a night here and there, and that gave her hope that she could manipulate him to her advantage.
But when Adam rejected her, apparently because he had a new love interest -- Conley knew she was going to lose him. I am not clear if Adam had the new girlfriend before Dr. Mary was poisoned. If he did, and if Dr. Mary was encouraging him in his new relationship, that truly would have have enraged Conley and spurred her into action -- This time with Dr. Mary as her target.
Conley had easy access to Dr. Mary, and working closely with her she could "doctor" her protein shake with colchicine without being caught. Dr. Mary's death would devastate Adam, and drive him back into her clutches -- away from that new woman! She would be in a position where she'd make herself indispensable to the grieving family, too, (who, she now perceived, were rejecting/abandoning her as a likely marriage partner for Adam and a future addition to their family). Her seeming kindness and selfless support of the family in their time of need would restore Conley to her former status. All my opinion only! :moo:
Thanks, Curious, and everyone here for keeping the torch burning for this trial, which surprisingly doesn't seem to have generated much interest among our fellow Websleuths. :dunno:.
