BREAKING NEWS: Kathy Lowe trial update
Published July 29, 2010
Kathy Lowe has endured reliving the night she shot and killed her husband during the first two days of trial in Marshall County Circuit Court.
Throughout the replaying of a 911 call placed by her son, Bryan, immediately following the shooting and testimony from Alabama Bureau of Investigation officers regarding her statements made hours and months following the incident, Kathy Lowe has remained stoic, pausing periodically to jot a note or speak with her attorneys.
The prosecution is expected to rest its case Thursday, clearing the way for Kathy Lowe’s defense team to begin its job.
During nearly five hours on the witness stand Wednesday, ABI agent Bradley Renfroe discussed Kathy Lowe’s statements made to him in the early morning hours following the shooting and again in a second meeting in late January.
He pointed out inconsistencies in her story, including if she was truly held hostage by her husband, and if so, for how long, and what was the actual trigger for the argument that ultimately led to David Lowe’s death late in the evening Nov. 11, 2008
David Lowe, a former Marshall County Sheriff’s deputy and investigator for the county district attorney’s office, was found face down in the backyard of the home he shared with his wife at 106 Jolley St., in the Horton community. He suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
During the 911 call, Bryan Lowe is heard initially reporting “y’all have a domestic violence case at my house. You’re going to need to get deputies here now,” he continues.
He told dispatchers “I don’t know if my dad killed my mom or if he committed suicide … Dad is trying to get up and trying to pull a gun on my mom. I’m going over there to see what is going on and take care of my mom.
“She pulled a gun on my dad and shot my dad … I’m not going up there … he’s trying to get a gun out.”
In the background of the call, a person sobbing loudly can be heard.
Before leaving the stand, Renfroe and representatives from AT&T and Verizon Wireless, the carriers of the Lowe’s home phone and cellular services, testified.
The representatives outlined calls made from the home and to and from a cell phone used and carried by Kathy Lowe. According to phone company records, eight calls were made from the home phone to Kathy Lowe’s cell phone between 7:46 and 8:59 p.m., the times she was supposed to have been held hostage by her husband. Calls were also made to Bryan Lowe’s cell phone and Kathy Lowe’s mother’s home phone.
Additionally, a series of calls were made from Kathy Lowe’s cell phone to Amanda and Bryan Lowe’s cell phones, Kathy Lowe’s mother’s home and, moments after the shooting, to Marshall County Sheriff Scott Walls’ cell phone. Incoming calls were also received from Bryan Lowe.
The Lowes’ children are expected to testify and Kathy Lowe is also expected to take the stand in her own defense.
