GALLATIN, Tenn. - Breaking news from a high profile Sumner County double murder trial: the jury is now deliberating the fate of a Hendersonville mom accused of killing her newborn twin boys. Lindsey Lowe is on trial for allegedly smothering her babies after giving birth on the toilet in September 2011. Prosecutors say Lowe killed the babies to keep her pregnancy hidden because the father isn't her fiance. Lowe's defense claims she did not accept that she was pregnant. Lowe declined to testify in her own defense. Lowe is charged with four first-degree murder charges (two counts of pre-meditation and two in the commission of child abuse) along with two counts child abuse. Yesterday her attorney asked for a mistrial saying he believes Judge Dee David Gay has shown favoritism by rushing the defense during testimony. Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. Fox 17's Sky Arnold has covered the entire trial. He is in Gallatin awaiting a verdict.

Houston brother will be his own attorney in court
June 18, 2013 13:02 GMT
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Roane County man will face federal gun violation charges next month without an attorney.
The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17VlXpM ) reported Rocky Joe Houston will represent himself on a charge of possession of a gun by a felon.
The charge came after Houston earlier represented himself in state court on charges stemming from a police chase. He was convicted of evading arrest and reckless endangerment.
Houston and his brother, Leon Houston, were tried, but not convicted, in the 2006 shooting deaths of a Roane County deputy and his ride-along companion.
In federal court, Rocky Joe Houston is claiming the officer who charged him with the felony had no legal authority.
