GALLATIN, Tenn. - An emotional moment in the trial of a Hendersonville mother accused of killing her newborn twins. Lindsey Lowe's sudden outburst brought her trial to a temporary halt Wednesday in Gallatin. The moment came as prosecutors showed text messages between Lowe and the man who fathered her babies. It was not her written words that were the focus in court today. It's what Lowe said in a police videotape about the day the twins died in 2011. Detective Steve Malach recorded the interview, knowing only that a dead body had been found next to Lindsey Lowe's bed. Lowe says she hid the pregnancy because the babies' father may not have been her fiance and then drops a revelation. Lowe says she gave birth to both sons alone on the toilet. At first, Detective Malach questions whether the babies drowned. After over an hour of questioning, Lowe finally admits she smothered them. Lowe's defense questions some of the things Detective Malach said earlier in the interview. Attorney John Pelligrin tried to make the case Lindsey was lead into confessing at a vulnerable time.
"Knowing at that point that she had given birth to twins, you continued with the questioning of Ms. Lowe," says Pelligrin.
Lowe's defense fought hard to have the video tape thrown out of court, saying Lowe was not properly read her Miranda rights. Judge Gay disagreed.

TBI: Women more likely family violence victims
June 20, 2013 08:10 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A new study of domestic violence in Tennessee last year found women were nearly two times more likely to be victimized than men and children were the victims in 16 percent of all family violence cases.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation put out a report this week analyzing crime statistics from law enforcement agencies across the state. Their findings show that nearly 15 percent of all crimes reported were domestic in nature.
The study looked at the relationships between victims and offenders as well as the influence of drugs and alcohol on family violence. The study found that more than 17 percent of family violence involves drugs or alcohol, with alcohol being the most common.
