Joseph Rabbitt reviewed their labels and remaining quantities, including 23 of 30 pills in the bottle identified as Zoloft. Rabbitt said the exhibit did not represent all bottles provided on February 6, and the examination did not explain that answer.
3 mentionsExercise bands — Laposata described round exercise bands with handles and attributed jugular-vein closure to repeated, firm wrapping around the children's necks. She acknowledged that Sprague's demonstrated arrangement came apart without equating it with the secure wrapping she described. In closing, Sprague argued that the bands required continued pulling rather than remaining tightened on their own.
2 mentionswhiteboard — Amedee testified that Lindsay used an erasable whiteboard while intubated and restrained. On redirect, she clarified that January 28 marked the first use with her, not necessarily with other nurses.
2 mentions171 through 173 — Hartnett said she collected the shingles and separate swabs from each during the June 15, 2023 visit. The court admitted the three shingles as Exhibits 171 through 173 without establishing an individual exhibit-to-stain mapping.

1 mentionbandages on her wrists — Costanzo testified that he saw no blood seeping through Lindsay's wrist bandages during 18 minutes in the well-lit ambulance. His answer concerned visible bleeding rather than the full extent of her injuries.
1 mentionBands and the earlier demonstration involving them — During his Day 22 closing argument, Reddington recalled an earlier demonstration in which the bands sprang open. He contrasted that demonstration with Patrick Clancy's testimony that the bands were knotted around the children's necks.
1 mentionBasement floor stain A swabbings, item 3-3, confirmed as blood — Hartnett confirmed on Day 6 that laboratory testing identified blood in the swabbings from basement floor stain A, designated item 3-3. She did not identify whose blood it was.
1 mentionBedroom floor stain B swabbings, item 3-4, confirmed as blood — Hartnett testified on Day 6 that laboratory testing confirmed blood in the swabbings from the bedroom floor stain cluster B, designated item 3-4. She did not identify whose blood it was.
1 mentionBedroom floor stains and collected swabs — Hartnett testified that she sampled collections of bedroom floor stains rather than every individual stain. She said the testing confirmed blood and indicated human blood, while explaining that the test could also react with primate blood.
1 mentionBedroom windowsill stain D swabbings, item 3-6, confirmed as blood — Hartnett confirmed on Day 6 that laboratory testing identified blood in the swabbings from bedroom windowsill stain D, designated item 3-6. She did not identify whose blood it was.
1 mentionBlack exercise band at placard three — O'Loughlin identified the black exercise band at placard three among the collected scene items. He testified that its examination yielded insufficient friction ridge detail for fingerprint comparison, not that it had never been touched.
1 mentionBlack exercise band used as a reference point for one child's location in Exhibit 96 — Hall confirmed that the first child's location he indicated in Exhibit 96 lay between a bloodstain and the black exercise band.
1 mentionBlack exercise band, item 2-3 — Hartnett testified that she sampled the ends and middle of the black exercise band separately to potentially distinguish contact by different individuals. She described the sampling purpose without identifying who touched the band.

She reported that the profile was at least 96 trillion times more likely if it originated from Lindsay Clancy than from an unknown, unrelated individual, and excluded Dawson, Cora, Callan, and Patrick Clancy.
1 mentionItem 2-2.1.1, swabs from the ends of the yellow exercise band — Katarina Stashyn evaluated the yellow-band end swabs under both two-contributor and three-contributor assumptions because relatedness complicated interpretation. Both approaches produced high inclusionary statistics for Dawson Clancy; she explained that underestimating contributor numbers can falsely exclude actual contributors.
1 mentionItem 2-2.2.1, swabs from the middle of the yellow exercise band — Katarina Stashyn interpreted the yellow-band middle sample as a two-person DNA mixture and reported a likelihood ratio of 1.5 nonillion for Dawson Clancy. She explained that shared family DNA affected the results and that, assuming Dawson was a contributor, Callan and Patrick could not both be present in that mixture.
1 mentionItem 2-3.1.1, swabs from the ends of the black exercise band — Katarina Stashyn found a DNA mixture including male DNA that was unsuitable for comparison because of its complexity, possible contribution by at least five people, and relatedness among potential contributors. She explained that indications of five or more contributors exceeded the laboratory's comparison capabilities.
1 mentionItem 2-3.2.1, swabs from the middle of the black exercise band — Katarina Stashyn interpreted the black-band middle sample as a three-contributor mixture, with its highest individual likelihood ratio of 1.6 nonillion for Cora Clancy and only limited support for Lindsay Clancy at a ratio of 11. She explained that relatedness affected interpretation and that each person's statistic was calculated independently. Assuming three contributors and Cora's inclusion, the other four family members could not all be present together, but she did not exclude each of them individually.
1 mentionItem described as a little green vase — Patrick Clancy said he had seen the object counsel described as resembling a little green vase. An objection and sidebar interrupted the request to explain its function.

1 mentionKnife recovered from the bedroom nightstand; stain A on its blade was confirmed as blood — Maureen Hartnett identified the knife depicted in Exhibit 170 as the knife collected from the bedroom nightstand. She testified that laboratory screening and confirmatory testing identified stain A on its blade as blood, but she did not identify whose blood it was.
1 mentionKnife used in the suicide attempt — Gregory Saathoff discussed the knife while assessing Lindsay Clancy's suicidal intent. He testified that the shallow lacerations did not mean she had not intended to kill herself with it.
1 mentionKnown DNA standards from Dawson Clancy, Cora Clancy, Callan Clancy, Patrick Clancy, and Lindsay Clancy — Katarina Stashyn testified that she used known standards from Dawson, Cora, Callan, Patrick, and Lindsay Clancy in her DNA comparison work involving yellow exercise-band swabs.

1 mentionCertified copies of the Women and Infants Hospital records — Reddington described the certified records as indicating a December 20, 2022 visit and offered them during Patrick Clancy's cross-examination.
