About
Susan Bertolo testified for the Commonwealth on Day 8 about her observations as Cora's preschool teacher. She recalled that Cora used the bathroom unusually often on January 23, 2023, without complaining. The extra trips stood out because the classroom lacked a bathroom and children ordinarily went at scheduled times. Bertolo passed the information to the afternoon teacher and briefly discussed it with Lindsay at pickup.
Bertolo did not remember Lindsay's exact words, but recalled that Lindsay mentioned an appointment already scheduled for the next day and intended to report the symptoms. She described Lindsay's behavior during the conversation as appropriate and unchanged from earlier encounters.
Bertolo reported no concerns about the family while teaching Cora. She also recalled Cora saying she missed her hospitalized mother, but could not place that conversation in December or January. Her parent contacts were brief, and drop-off duties alternated. The defense declined cross-examination.
