GUILTY TN - Lindsey Lowe charged in deaths of newborn twins, Hendersonville, 2011 *guilty*

[cheddar]

Today should be the final day of the trial with closing arguments set to begin when court resumes in about an hour. After the case is handed over to the jury, the wait for a verdict begins.

Closing arguments should be interesting. The verdict even more so.

I'll try to post updates for you as things progress.

Judge Gay reading jury charges at this time

 

[cheddar]

Judge Gay cautioned everyone to control their emotions so as not to influence the jury.

The jury was then brought in and the prosecution has begun their closing argument.

Defense is delivering closing argument.

defence did not present much of a case,

Prosecution showing pictures of babies to jury as part of their close (tear)
RIP sweet boys

My auto-response to that close was appluase. I hope the jury does justice for those sweet boys.

I also hope the jury delivers justice for those sweet babies.

I wonder if they will have a hard time eating lunch after seeing those photos.

This case is local for me. It's been a long year and a half waiting, and I've watched or followed most of the trial. I think LL will be found guilty, but I am not sure of what. The more I watch and the more I hear around town, the more I feel like she willingly hid this pregnancy. Knowingly had those babies and knowingly ended their existence because she was so afraid of "being caught". And by that, I mean being found out for being imperfect, for not living up to the arbitrary standard of being a "good girl" or "the right girl". She seems very stunted both in emotion and in maturity. I wonder how much of that is a product of her environment and the way she was raised, and how much of that is her having a very "people pleasing" personality.

None the less, I don't think the defense did the job as well as the prosecution. They made a solid case and basically blew the defense's opening arguments out of the water. I bet this verdict comes back either late today or early tomorrow.

@WSMVJoshDeVine: "She didn't stick with her two little babies. Instead of standing up for them, she killed them," said Whitley.

I hope these words are some the jury remembers from the DA's closing. Along with the evidence, her confession, and the photos of those full term, perfectly healthy twin boys.
Lowe is guilty of 1st Degree murder, IMO, and deserves to spend her entire life in prison for what she has done.
