MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT — No jurors have been selected after two days of jury selection in the trial of Natavia Lowery, who is charged with stealing from and then bludgeoning celebrity realtor and ex-Ramones manager Linda Stein.

The process of selecting the panel will continue on Thursday. Lowery's murder trial is expected to take up to two months.

Twelve jurors and several alternates must be selected. Selection had been delayed by a day because Lowery was mistakenly brought to court in prison garb instead of trial attire.

Stein's daughters are expected to testify in the trial and have requested permission to be present for the proceedings, the Daily News reported Wednesday.

Typically, witnesses are not allowed to be audience members.

Stein was discovered dead in her Upper East Side apartment in October 2007. Lowery, her personal assistant, had been using Stein's identity to steal for months, prosecutors charge.
