She has already pleaded guilty to one felony, Failure to Stop and Render Aid.
Lowe did not put on a defense with her attorney trying to convince the jury there may have been a horrible accident, but it was not a felony crime.
Raidy was killed on January 24th in a Carrier Parkway crosswalk as he and his mother – pushing a stroller with John's younger sister — attempted to cross the street.
Lauren Raidy, John's mother, watched as a Lowe ran a red light, hit her son and carried the child on the hood for about 300 feet, stopped briefly and then took off.
Lowe could now face 20 years in prison.
