Full day summary

Police officers described Lindsay Clancy’s hospital condition and their roles in the investigation. Mark Maffeo said she appeared sedated and unconscious, with arm and neck lacerations. The court admitted hospital and scene photographs. On cross-examination, he confirmed blood on her clothing and near the back window, but said he did not witness the pill-bottle seizures or know where those bottles were recovered. He located a laptop in a first-floor closet and believed state police seized it. Although he stayed in his assigned search area, he agreed on recross that he could assist elsewhere. Richard Lippard described accompanying Clancy by helicopter to Brigham and Women’s Hospital and remaining with her for about 15 to 16 hours. She was not awake or responsive to his knowledge. He confirmed that officers prevented visitors. He recalled a nighttime code-blue announcement but had been outside the room and did not know the nature of the medical event. Emergency physicians described treating Dawson and Callan Clancy. Mark Tenerowicz distinguished the reported strangulation history from his observations: Dawson arrived unresponsive, without a pulse or independent breathing, with CPR underway. He estimated that hospital resuscitation continued for about 40 minutes and confirmed declaring Dawson deceased, recalling 7:28 p.m. from a recent records review. Benjamin Kaufman said Callan regained a heartbeat after epinephrine but did not breathe independently during his care. He reported no brain function evident on his examination while emphasizing that he was not a neurologist. Callan was transferred to Boston Children’s Hospital. Melissa Arcadipane described preserving Lindsay Clancy’s blood and urine samples and transferring labeled specimens to a trooper with a warrant. She could not recall the exact samples or types transferred. The court admitted certified medical records for Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy without defense objection.
