GALLATIN, Tenn. - Evidence form Lindsey Lowe's phone may play a big role in her first degree murder trial in Sumner County. Prosecutors say the mother who's charged with smothering her newborns shortly after giving birth Googled how to make herself go into labor. That contradicts Lowe's main defense: she didn't realize she was pregnant. Dr. William Kenner spent over 13 hours talking to Lindsey Lowe. He says it was enough time to make this diagnosis about why she hid her pregnancy.
"Remember she's carrying those 2 babies vertically in her abdomen so that nobody sees she's pregnant," says Dr. Kenner.
Kenner calls the condition pregnancy denial and it's a key part of Lowe's defense that she couldn't have premeditated the murder of her newborn sons. District Attorney Ray Whitley isn't buying any of it. Whitley says Lowe performed several internet searches for pregnancy topics just days before giving birth to the twins she's accused of smothering. Lowe's defense wanted this information hidden, and even suggested it could be reason for a mistrial. Judge Dee David Gay disagreed, ruling Lowe's Googling history is something jurors can consider. The trial wrapped up early Friday but it will continue Monday morning. There's no definitive word yet if Lowe will take the stand in her own defense. Lowe faces 2 counts of first degree murder plus child abuse charges in the 2011 murder. TONIGHT on FOX17 NEWS, we'll hear from another psychologist about why she thinks Lowe thought about suicide.

Bonnaroo and then what? More events could follow
May 20, 2013 12:33 GMT
MANCHESTER, Tenn. (AP) -- The former farm where the Bonnaroo music festival is held may play host to other events as well.
The partnership that puts on the annual music and arts festival in Manchester has steadily upgraded the site, adding a dozen water wells and permanent electrical power.
Festival partner Rick Farman told The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/14nuEF5 ) his group is in active discussion with a lot of groups. The Great American Mud Run will be held at the site on July 27 and is expected to draw more than 5,000 participants.
Coffee County Mayor David Pennington said he's curious to see where such a plan could go, saying it could have a huge impact.
This year's Bonnaroo will be held June 13-16. Paul McCartney heads a long list if acts.
