About

Stephanie Williams testified for the Commonwealth on Day 8 about Cora's condition at preschool and Lindsay Clancy's behavior during pickup on January 23, 2023. Williams had taught Cora at Learning Sprouts.

Williams distinguished other teachers' reports that Cora was unwell from her own observations that Cora napped and remained on her cot. She thought Cora had said her tummy hurt. She recalled Lindsay lifting Cora from the cot before going upstairs to collect Dawson, and noticed nothing different about Lindsay's behavior.

During Shanan Buckingham's direct examination, Williams described Lindsay as a loving mother and said she had noticed no change in their interactions from September 2022 onward. She also said Lindsay had not shared family or household issues with her. Williams testified that she had observed no concerns requiring a mandated report and had made no such report.
