41 linesBAILIFF: Court, all rise. Jury's entering.
BAILIFF: Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. All persons having anything to do before the Honorable William Sullivan, Justice of the Superior Court now sitting in Plymouth within for the Commonwealth, draw near, give your attendance and you shall be heard. God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This court is now in session. Please be seated.
COURT CLERK: Good morning, Your Honor. May I proceed?
THE COURT: Yes, please.
COURT CLERK: Your Honor, before the court today we have the continuation of the jury trial in the matter of Commonwealth versus Lindsay Clancy. Ms. Clancy is present. She is represented by Attorney Kevin Reddington.
THE COURT: Yes.
COURT CLERK: The Commonwealth is represented by Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague, and Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham.
THE COURT: All right. Well, good morning, everyone.
JURORS: Good morning.
THE COURT: Thanks for your patience. I told you we got a little late start, but I appreciate you waiting for us. And so what I'm gonna do is gonna go through those questions. And then at that point, we'll talk a little bit about the schedule, and then we'll get right back into the trial. So first question, as you all know by this point, has any member of the jury read, seen, heard, or overheard anything from any source about any aspect of this case that would affect your ability to be a fair and impartial juror?
JURORS: No.
THE COURT: All right. Second question is, is there any other serious matter or concern bearing on your service as a juror in this case that anybody needs to bring to my attention? Again, thank you for following those instructions. And then in regards to today's schedule, I'll probably be wrong again, but the best—I think it probably be similar to yesterday. Okay? So we'll go, return to the case. We'll take a break hopefully around eleven, take a break from one to two. And then we'll go into the afternoon depending on how the case, testimony goes. And then at the end of the day, I'll try to remember, bring counsel over here. We'll talk about kinda where we are on the timeline of the case, where we are kinda schedule for the week, and going forward. So I'll try and give you that hopefully this afternoon before I send you home. All right. So with that, we're gonna return. There was a witness, Ms. Paul was on the stand. The Commonwealth had finished their direct examination, and we're about to begin cross-examination of that witness. So I would ask the witness if witness could retake the stand, please.
THE COURT: All right. Mr. Reddington.
MR. REDDINGTON: Thank you, Judge. Morning, Nurse Paul.
JULIE PAUL: Good morning.
MR. REDDINGTON: And if I understand, you now live and perhaps work in New Hampshire. Is that right?
JULIE PAUL: That's correct.
MR. REDDINGTON: And are you still doing the same type of work that you were doing with the South Shore Health?
JULIE PAUL: Yes, I am.
MR. REDDINGTON: Excellent. Very good. You obviously are very, very dedicated person to this field, if you will—in helping people that are pregnant women after they had birth and during that postpartum period, right?
JULIE PAUL: Correct.
MR. REDDINGTON: You work with Lindsay. And the reason you were involved with Lindsay is because, if I understand it correctly, her mother-in-law, Patrick's mother, Sue, works with a friend of yours.
JULIE PAUL: Correct.
MR. REDDINGTON: So basically, Sue asked her friend if she could reach out and have you kinda step in and help out.
JULIE PAUL: That's correct.
MR. REDDINGTON: And then that's what you did.
JULIE PAUL: Yes.
MR. REDDINGTON: And you stepped up, and you treated this woman, obviously with care and professionalism, in my opinion.
JULIE PAUL: Thank you.
MR. REDDINGTON: Your Honor, I would like to offer the records from South Shore Health if I could.
THE COURT: Objection?
MS. BUCKINGHAM: No objection.
THE COURT: If those records may be admitted.
COURT REPORTER: Exhibit 222.
MR. REDDINGTON: And in the course of your treatment of Lindsay, actually you went so far as to give your cellphone, if I'm correct. Is that right?
JULIE PAUL: She did have my cellphone 'cause I called her on my day off, yes sir.
MR. REDDINGTON: Okay. I don't have any other questions, Judge. Thank you very much for your care.
THE COURT: All right. Counsel, anything further?
MS. BUCKINGHAM: No, thank you.
THE COURT: All right. Thank you. You may step down please.
JULIE PAUL: Thank you.
