Her lawyer, Kevin Reddington, told jurors on Thursday that Lindsay Clancy was in a deep psychotic state when she strangled her three children.

He argued that she was a loving mother before her mental health got worse.

In his closing argument, Reddington said, "Because of those damn drugs and the terrible medical care she received." He was referring to the mental health providers she saw and the medications she was prescribed months before the killings.

Prosecutors argue that Clancy acted intentionally.

Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague said she sent her husband on an errand before killing the children and attempting suicide.

Sprague told jurors this case is not about the U.S. mental health care system, and that the defense's argument is a distraction.

Prosecutors stressed that the focus should be on whether Clancy could tell right from wrong at the time.

Clancy's mental state is the key to this trial, and it has caused deep division among the public over whether she should face criminal responsibility.

During more than four weeks of testimony, jurors heard conflicting views from medical experts about her mental state after the birth of her third child.

Clancy's mother and sister testified that she became anxious, paranoid, and felt suicidal.

Clancy, now 36, voluntarily checked into a psychiatric hospital a few months before the killings. She murdered her children less than three weeks after being released.

Reddington pushed back, saying prosecutors tried to describe Clancy's suicide attempt as a "fake suicide."

He explained that the book investigators found at the home, "Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts," was given to her by a mental health provider.

Reddington said, "This woman lived for her children," and added that life was no longer wonderful after she started seeing a psychiatrist.

After closing arguments, the jury will begin deliberations. If found guilty of murder, Clancy faces life in prison without parole.
