Natavia Lowery's Murder Confession Released

Just days after Natavia Lowery practically accused Linda Stein's daughter Mandy of having the blood on her hands in the realtor's 2007 murder, Lowery's 90-minute video confession has been played publicly for the first time. In the confession, which her lawyers say was coerced and therefore not admissible, Lowery told prosecutors that her former employer, Stein, had it coming. From the Post:

Stein was cursing like a sailor, puffing pot like a locomotive and waving around a wooden yoga stick, Lowery said. And when Stein offered to buy Lowery lunch, and Lowery protested that she had her own money, Stein answered, "That's the first time I hear somebody black saves their money," Lowery claimed.

Lowery goes on to say that the comment struck a nerve, so she grabbed the yoga stick and hit Stein with it six times, continuing even though her victim was on the ground (though she claims her intentions weren't murder). She told prosecutors: "I wasn't myself. I was mad. I was confused. I was angry. I was paranoid. I was feeling like I never had before. I felt like she was my worst enemy. How do you go from being someone's best friend to, like, enemy? You know?" Of course, Lowery—who claimed her boss was her "best friend"— had previously revealed Stein said something offensive, and often racist, "probably like every other day."
