About
Andrew Capraro testified for the Commonwealth on Day 5 about treating Callan Clancy at Boston Children's Hospital on January 24, 2023. An attending emergency physician, he distinguished transfer reports of cardiac arrest, resuscitation, and suspected strangulation from his own observations of Callan's limp condition, fixed and dilated pupils, and neck marks.
Under Jennifer Sprague's questioning, Capraro described CT findings showing significant brain swelling consistent with injury from insufficient oxygen and blood flow. He said strangulation could cause that injury and described the linear neck bruising as consistent with strangulation, most likely by an object. He did not identify a particular object or person responsible.
Capraro described Callan's need for epinephrine and ventilator support. He said neurosurgery doctors saw no intervention they believed would alleviate the CT findings, and his care ended when Callan transferred to intensive care. The defense asked no questions.
