Lindsay Clancy knew the difference between right and wrong the day she killed her three children, the final prosecution rebuttal witness in her murder trial testified Wednesday.

Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff told the jury that according to Clancy's own account, no voice in her head told her where to kill the children, what to use, or in what order. He testified that carrying out the killings without those instructions suggested she was in control of the events.

"The day was really one of significant control," Saathoff said. "The activities that she engaged in that day, spending time with her children with Play Doh, taking them outside to build a snowman, sending photographs of the children to her mother to her husband on Instagram, fixing lunch and also fixing dinner for the children, so the activities of that day were controlled, as were the activities in terms of the planning."
