The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Convicted killer Natavia Lowery's stepdad left a Manhattan courtroom in handcuffs yesterday after disrupting her sentencing, which has now been delayed to April 26th. Earlier this year Lowery was found guilty of killing her former boss Linda Stein. According to the Daily News, yesterday her stepfather screamed in court, "She has the right to change counsel under the sixth amendment." The outburst was brought on after the judge insulted the lawyer the Lowery's hoped to bring on board for the sentencing, noting he hadn't even read the case file. Due to other complications, however, Lowery's sentencing would have been delayed anyway. And now her stepdad faces up to a year in jail after being charged with contempt.
