Report: Male DNA at Linda Stein Murder Scene

Lawyers for the accused killer of a real estate agent to the stars, Linda Stein, are claiming that a report released by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner shows that their client is likely innocent.

In what lawyers Ronald Kuby and David Pressman are calling a stunning revelation, the report shows that blood belonging to Stein that was found in her sink was mingled with blood belonging to an unidentified male.

The report also reveals that in spite of the fact blood was splattered throughout Stein's apartment during the attack, not a drop of blood was found on the clothing of the suspect, Natavia Lowery, Messrs. Kuby and Pressman said in a statement.

The lawyers said that while the report was dated January 11, 2008, it was kept secret until they were given a copy late last week.

A spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney said prosecutors would deal with the issue during the trial.

"We're talking about a tiny spec of blood. There is nothing to suggest that the blood came from the murderer," she said.

Investigators only found a minute amount of blood in the sink that was barely detectable, a law enforcement source said.

Ms. Lowery is expected to be in Manhattan Criminal Court tomorrow to hear decisions on pending motions.

Ms. Lowery, who was Stein's personal assistant, had allegedly bludgeoned her to death inside her Fifth Avenue apartment with a "yoga stick" in December 2007.

A spokeswoman for the medical examiner said she could not comment on the ongoing investigation.

When reached on cell phone, Stein's daughter, Mandy Stein, said she did not want to comment.
