CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

The defense resumes its case at the Christopher Vaughn murder trial later Thursday.

The prosecution rested its case against the Oswego man Wednesday after calling 80 witnesses over four weeks.

Vaughn is accused of shooting his wife and children to death in their SUV in 2007.

They say Vaughn wanted to get rid of his family to start a new life in Canada.

The defense claims Vaughn's wife killed the kids and herself.

They say she was distraught over his cheating, and she was taking medication linked to suicidal behavior.
