WBFF Fox 45 :: Lowe Confession Expected to be Heard on Wednesday in Murder Trial - Sky Arnold
Jurors got a close and personal look inside Lindsey Lowe's bedroom Tuesday.
Prosecutors showed them pictures of clothing stained with biological material and the images of two dead newborns.
The state says it's evidence of a mother who delivered two sons on the toilet and disposed of the bodies in a laundry basket by the bed.
Hendersonville officer Jeremy Fentress testified about what he saw that September morning as one of the first to enter the room after Lowe's mother discovered the babies two days after delivery.
"After I pulled the bloody towel back I saw a deceased newborn," said Fentress.
Prosecutor Ron Blanton said Lowe hid her pregnancy and delivery and then smothered both newborns because the babies weren't here fiancee's.
"There was no plan for these babies to live," said Blanton. "She couldn't allow anyone to think bad of her."
Prosecutors say Lowe admitted both murders to police Detective Steve Malach the day the babies were discovered.
"She said she tried to keep it quiet as well and put her hand over it's mouth just like the first one until it no longer cried," said Malach.
The state plans to show video of that alleged confession Wednesday.
Malach says Lowe told him she didn't want tell anyone about the pregnancy.
"She also said her parents would be disappointed and they were Christian people and they wouldn't understand so she couldn't go to them."
Lowe faces two counts of 1st Degree Murder plus child abuse charges.
Defense Attorney John Pellegrin tells a different story.
Pellegrin said Lowe suffered from mental disorders and didn't realize she was pregnant, even when she went into labor.
"She was in such a state of mind she completely pushed it out of her mind," said Pellegrin. "She reaches down and feels and for the first time feels a baby head a baby's ear and realizes what's happening."Lowe Confession Expected to be Heard on Wednesday in Murder Trial - Sky Arnold
