(NECN: Latoyia Edwards, Woburn, Mass.) - After 12 days of testimony, it is now up to the jury to decide whether Neil Entwistle is guilty of killing his wife and baby daughter.
The British man is accused of the January 2006 fatal shootings of his wife, Rachel and nine-month-old daughter Lillian Rose in the family's rented Hopkinton, Massachusetts home.
The defense rested its case yesterday without calling a single witness.
In his closing argument to the jury, defense attorney Elliot Weinstein said Rachel Entwistle shot the baby and committed suicide, and that Neil Entwistle covered up his wife's actions to "protect her honor."
But a prosecutor said the murder-suicide theory "doesn't make common sense."
