Full day summary

Police officers and firefighters described the January 24, 2023 emergency response at 47 Summer Street, including the discovery of the children, resuscitation efforts, and Lindsay Clancy's treatment. Officers Stephen Hall and Brian Josephine recounted entering the basement after hearing screams. Josephine described carrying Dawson to an ambulance and returning to perform chest compressions on Cora. Fire captain PJ Hussey described requesting additional ambulances as more patients became known. Basement and window photographs were admitted, along with the scene entry and exit log maintained by Officer Vincent Cahill. Paramedics described treating each child. Keith Nette testified that Dawson had no pulse or breathing when he began treatment and regained neither during transport. Patrick Dwyer described treating Cora, including one shock that did not restore pulses before hospital transfer. Jennifer Stratton described CPR and oxygen for Callan, who she said regained neither a pulse nor breathing at the home or during transport. Cahill also described assisting with Cora's resuscitation. Testimony about Lindsay Clancy addressed her responsiveness, visible wounds, and the limits of responders' assessments. Robert Costanzo described administering Narcan for a potential opioid overdose and observing increased reaching and grabbing, but no full awakening or verbal communication. His testimony did not establish an overdose. On cross-examination, he acknowledged that bandages and a neck collar restricted his examination and did not confirm internal injuries asserted in counsel's questions. On redirect, he said he saw no blood seeping through the wrist bandages or flowing from the neck during 18 minutes in a lit ambulance. Daniel Dougherty described wounds without active bleeding. Questioned about cold exposure, he could not say whether hypothermia affected bleeding; his testimony did not establish that Clancy was hypothermic. He also did not confirm later suturing details suggested on redirect.
