Natavia Lowery was convicted with a 27 years to life sentence, which is just under her after killing her former boss Linda Stein. She allegedly brutally battered Stein to death with a piece of exercise equipment. Lowery was said to have stolen $30k, which is the equivalent of £19.5k from Stein in 2007. Lowery claimed that she tried to hide the theft by killing her boss.
Regardless of her sentence, and regardless of the judge calling her 'almost inhuman' she claims she is going to appeal the sentence in attempt to get a less aggressive sentence. Stein's lifeless body was found in her apartment in October 2007, she had suffered extensive blows to her head and neck, which would of, killed her almost instantly. Lowery initially denied the murder, with her lawyers completely defending her claim, things turned sour however when CCTV footage was shown that Lowery had in fact left the premises soon before the body was discovered. Initially she claimed the police had forced her into a false confession but evidently the jury failed to be convinced.
Lowery told the court she wanted to meet famous people with a total unparalleled desire. It was found that she wanted to meet Denzel Washington so badly she stole $4,000 from the rock’n’roll Realtor’s account. She tried to justify her actions by claiming that she donated the money to a charity in order to receive premier tickets to see American Gangster.
However the true irony of the matter was that Stein due to her ex husband (Seymour Stein) she had connections with nearly all the stars. Their relationship fell apart as Linda was touring with The Ramones during the 1980s. Although their relationship ended bitterly they soon reconciled as good friends, which gave her links in the music industry. This basically meant that if Lowery had just asked then she wouldn’t of had the need to steal.
Many celebrities including Sylvester Stallone claimed: “She was America’s conduit to the stars”
