Joseph Rabbitt

Joseph Rabbitt testified for the Commonwealth on Day 6 about two distinct collections of prescription medication. The Massachusetts State Police lieutenant, who had been assigned to the Plymouth County detective unit during the investigation, described finding a CVS bag, receipt, and four prescription bottles in a kitchen cabinet at 47 Summer Street early on January 25, 2023. He moved the bottles to the island for photography but did not inventory or further examine their contents. The court admitted photographs and the four bottles as Exhibits 152 through 155.

Rabbitt separately described receiving medication from Patrick Clancy and attorney David Meyer on February 6. He explained that his inventory recorded prescription-label information, original quantities, and remaining tablet or capsule counts, and he confirmed submitting the counted items as evidence. He could not recall where Patrick said he obtained the bag. Asked whether Exhibit 2 represented all bottles delivered, Rabbitt said it did not, then confirmed counsel's reference to nine bottles; that answer was not explained further.

On cross-examination, Kevin Reddington tested the scope of the search and Rabbitt's familiarity with other medication. Rabbitt confirmed that the warrant authorized seizure of prescription medication but said he was not in charge of the search. He could not recall entering the master bedroom or say whether anyone inspected the nightstand counsel described. Shown five bottles identified by counsel, he said he had not seen them and clarified that his counts concerned medication later turned in to police. His testimony established physical collection and inventory details, not a clinical assessment of the medication.
