Who Really Planted the Digital Evidence?? #maryyoder #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts | Forensic Files

Katie's defense attorney for trial number two is a guy named Frank Policelli. And he has a whole new
approach. Instead of accusing Bill, Policelli lays the blame on Adam. This time the defense says that Katie
actually tried to help investigators see what was really going on, but they were
so focused on her, they dismissed everything she told them, including her claim that Adam had confessed to her.
According to Policelli, here's what really happened. Adam was desperate, volatile, and had a strained
relationship with his mother. And when he couldn't hold on to Katie, he concocted a plan to poison Mary in a
way that would make sure Katie took the fall. Think about it from this angle. Adam actually studied computer science
in college, and he had way more digital know-how than Katie. He had used her devices in the past. Was it really a
coincidence that her damning phone backup was on his laptop? I mean, you got to find a way to explain that new
evidence. In Policelli's view, Adam could have planted or manipulated any incriminating data.

In Kaitlyn Conley’s second trial, her defense team introduced a new theory—placing blame on Adam Yoder.

They claimed Adam may have used Kaitlyn’s devices and even planted incriminating data, including a phone backup found on his laptop.
