Day 7 - August 5, 2026

Medical witnesses described Lindsay Clancy's injuries and blood testing, followed by DNA evidence and testimony from former nanny Elaine Rossi. Physician assistant Eitan Negri described repairing Clancy's wrist wounds on January 25, 2023. He observed no active bleeding in the previously dressed wounds and used sutures and Steri-Strips. The court admitted four photographs of the repairs. On direct examination, he said the wounds did not extend deeper than subcutaneous tissue; on cross-examination, he described one repaired wound as three centimeters deep and agreed with measurements read from another clinician's note. He acknowledged that Clancy was critically ill and had suffered cardiac arrest, but was not present for that event. He distinguished his continuing management of her care from treatments he did not perform. Former State Police toxicology analyst Nicholas Roberts reported no alcohol and identified benzodiazepines and other medications in Clancy's blood. He explained that several findings could be metabolites of diazepam rather than separately ingested medications. He did not know the specific collection timing or which drugs came from prescriptions. NMS forensic toxicologist Justin Brower described lamotrigine, mirtazapine and trazodone concentrations as therapeutic or consistent with prescribed use. He characterized quetiapine at 1,800 nanograms per milliliter as elevated, depending on dosage, but not necessarily toxic or lethal. Brower lacked actual prescription information and stressed that concentrations alone could not establish Clancy's behavioral or respiratory response. The court admitted the NMS report and later a corrected report. The court admitted four DNA stipulations. The judge read findings concerning a blue exercise band and a basement stain, including Callan Clancy's inclusion as a major contributor to the band-middle profile and Cora Clancy's inclusion in the single-contributor stain profile. Analyst Katarina Stashyn then described yellow- and black-band mixtures and exterior-house stains. She explained that relatedness complicated mixture interpretation, likelihood ratios were not random-match probabilities, and separate inclusionary statistics did not establish that the named individuals were present together. Exterior stains B and D supported Lindsay Clancy's inclusion; stain C and the black-band ends were unsuitable for comparison. The defense declined cross-examination. Rossi described caring primarily for Callan from September to early December 2022. She identified the childcare notebook and a bottle-feeding video admitted into evidence. She recalled Clancy reporting postpartum difficulties, serious sleep problems, medical care and medication, and observed significant weight loss. Rossi described attentive parenting and no safety concerns during her employment. She said Clancy planned to stop nursing because of a new medication, but knew no medication details. On redirect, Rossi said they had not discussed intrusive thoughts or thoughts of self-harm.
