APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - A woman who was scheduled to go on trial in two weeks for allegedly helping to kill her mother's domestic partner had her case dropped Monday.
Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider cited evidence and changing facts for dismissing homicide and other charges against Kandi Siveny. Circuit Judge Nancy Krueger dismissed the case without prejudice, which means it could be re-filed in the future.
The Appleton Post-Crescent says the DA plans a similar request to drop the case against Siveny's mother Dianna.
Both mother and daughter were accused in the 2007 shooting death of Dianna's lover, Lara Plamann in Greenville. Authorities said Kandi Siveny was upset that Plamann cheated on her mother.
A person allegedly hired to pull off the shooting backed out at the last minute -- but she still got prison time for witnessing the incident.
