Opening statements in Megan's trial began on February 5.
Prosecutor Amber Massengill alleged that Megan killed her daughter by suffocating her, then placed her in a trash can.
"Her life wasn't just cut short," Massengill said. "It's not just a tragedy. Her life was violently ripped away from her."
Defense attorney Gene Scott argued that the state cannot prove how Evelyn died. He said she "absolutely lied to the police," but she did not kill her child.
"She doesn't want to get in trouble. It doesn't mean she murdered her child," Scott said.
The state rested its case on Wednesday. Witnesses called by the defense included forensic experts, law enforcement officials, Megan's friends and Evelyn's babysitter.
