BRATTLEBORO -- Even at age 83, and more than eight years after suffering a stroke, Nita Lowery remained -- in the words of those who knew her best -- strong, intelligent, outgoing, determined and even "glamorous."

But the mystery of why Lowery was found slumped over and unconscious just after 7 a.m. on March 23, 2009, is the subject of a murder trial that began Wednesday morning in Windham Superior Court Criminal Division.

Prosecutors say Jodi LaClaire, the only nursing assistant working on Lowery's floor at Thompson House the preceding night, gave Lowery a fatal dose of insulin and almost immediately began using the woman's debit card to withdraw cash.
