Good morning, Your Honor. May I proceed?
Yes, please.
Your Honor, before the court today, we have the matter of Commonwealth v. Lindsay Clancy. Ms. Clancy is present. She is represented by Attorney Kevin Reddington. The Commonwealth is represented by Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague, and Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham.
All right. Well, good morning everyone. Good morning, counsel.
Morning, Your Honor.
Morning, Ms. Clancy.
Morning, Your Honor.
All right. Before we bring the jury in, could I talk to counsel over here just for a few minutes?
[inaudible 00:03:08]. Court, all rise. Jurors in. Hey-e, hey-e, hey-e. All persons having anything to do before the Honorable William Sullivan, Justice of the Superior Court, now City of Plymouth, within and for the Commonwealth, [inaudible 00:04:06], give your attendance, and you shall be heard. God save the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This court is now in session, please be seated.
Good morning, Your Honor. May I proceed?
Yes, please.
Your Honor, before the court today, we have the continuation of the jury trial in the matter of Commonwealth v. Lindsay Clancy. Ms. Clancy is present, she is represented by attorney Kevin Reddington. The Commonwealth is represented by Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague and Assistant District Attorney Shanan Buckingham.
All right. Well, thank you, Madam Clerk. Well, good morning.
Good morning.
So, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to ask you those questions, and then we'll talk about our schedule for today. But first off, good morning, nice to see everyone, thank you for your patience with us and all the work that you've done so far. So, the first question, has any member of the jury read, seen, heard or overheard anything from any source that would affect your ability to be a fair and impartial juror in this case?
No.
Last question. 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 at this time?
No.
Again, thank you for following those instructions. And in regards to our schedule today, it's going to be, I think it's a little bit different. All right. And a lot of it is because of the progress of the case and where we're going. I anticipate we're going to hear a number of witnesses today, and we may break early. All right? And then, because of some of these issues, we're not going to be sitting tomorrow. All right? So, you don't have to come in, you can come in if you want, but we're not going to be sitting on this case. So, my suggestion would be not to come in, and to take that and just relax as best you can. And then, we'll come in on Monday at 9:00. And then expect most of those days then going forward will be mostly the schedule we had the last maybe three or four days. All right? So, I just wanted to give you that information as early as I can so that we confirm that today. So, probably an earlier day today and we're not sitting tomorrow. Okay? And so, with that, we're going to return to the Commonwealth's presentation of evidence. And Commonwealth, will you call your next witness, please?
Thank you. Commonwealth calls Kyle Pavao.
Your Honor, while we're waiting, I apologize, can we just approach real quick?
Sure. Yeah.
[inaudible 00:07:50].
Good morning, sir.
Morning, sir.
Can you stop right here, raise your right hand for the clerk?
Good morning. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony and the evidence you shall give to the court and the jury [inaudible 00:08:09] the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?
Yes.
Thank you, sir. You may have a seat.
[inaudible 00:08:10]. Watch your step please.
Good morning, sir.
Good morning, Your Honor.
All right. Ms. Sprague, please.
Thank you. Good morning. Can you please state and spell your name for the record?
Kyle Pavao. K-Y-L-E, last name P-A-V-A-O.
And where do you work?
Massachusetts State Police.
How long have you worked there?
Eight years, with 18 total law enforcement experience.
So, you worked in law enforcement prior to the state police?
Correct.
in what department?
Town of Mattapoisett.
And are you in a specific role or unit at this time?
I was.
What do you do now?
Now, I'm a sergeant in field assigned to the Bourne Barracks.
And previously, where were you assigned?
I was a trooper in the Cyber Crime Unit.
How long were you in the Cyber Crime Unit?
Roughly three and a half years or so.
And what is the Cyber Crime Unit?
It's the state's primary child exploitation unit, assigned to that, or included in that is also a forensic branch which deals with multiple other crimes other than child exploitation.
Would it be accurate to state that you are able to examine digital forensics like computers and phones that are related to other cases?
Yes, correct.
Do you have to have specialized training to be in that unit?
Yes.
What type of specialized training did you have?
So, I am a certified forensic computer examiner, I'm a certified forensic Mac examiner, I'm a Cellebrite certified mobile examiner, and I'm a Magnet certified digital video examiner.
What is Cellebrite?
Cellebrite, it's a company that has proprietary software that parses through data. Most people know it for cell phones, there is a branch that does computers, but it's mostly known for cell phones, extracting data and also parsing that data out.
What about Magnet?
Magnet's the same thing. So, Magnet is also another proprietary company, they have software, imaging software. They mainly focus on computers, they can do some cell phone stuff, but they primarily focus on computers.
To be certified in Cellebrite and Magnet, did you have to take classes and pass exams?
Yeah. So, my forensic computer certification is probably a six-month-long process. It's two weeks of schooling down in Florida, is then a one-on-one peer review for four months, of practicals of different file systems and computers, once you get through that, it then is a practical exam. And then, once you pass the practical, it turns into a written exam.
Did you have an opportunity to examine the extraction of a Surface Pro that was seized from 47 Summer Street in Duxbury, on or about September 16th, 2025?
I did.
And to be clear, the Surface Pro was seized from 47 Duxbury Street in 2023, it was in 2025 that you examined the extraction, correct?
That is correct. I was provided those files.
And what is an extraction?
So, these are actually, it's a computer image, extractions usually typically referred to as cell phones. So, this is a computer image. So, this was an actually EO1 file, which is an EnCase forensic file. So, what it does is it copies out the bit for bit data on the particular drive that you targeted at, and then... The EnCase file sort of compresses the forensic image, it also adds some metadata to it, you can type in case files, it keeps some integrity to it.
So, is it basically you take a computer or a cell phone and you make an exact copy of the data that's on that cell phone or computer?
Yes. Computers, yes. Cell phones, no.
But you were working on a computer or Surface Pro?
Correct.
And so, the extraction for the Surface Pro would be, the extraction would be a copy of the data that was on the Surface Pro?
Yes. So, the image in this case is a bit for bit copy of that drive.
And when you do the extraction or when you view the extraction, are you changing any of the data?
No, that's why we use these types of images so we don't touch the actual data on that computer.
Did your initial review of the extraction show a visit to a website entitled, Suicide Methods, on August 23rd, 2022?
It did.
Were you recently asked to look at that visit to that site to get a better understanding of how that website was accessed?
That is correct.
And how did you approach that?
I set a parameter... I went to that artifact that I had previously tagged when I did the initial analysis.
Let me just stop you there.
Sorry.
What's an artifact and what is a tagging?
So, an artifact is every single piece of data on that computer is an artifact. So, a computer could have a half a million artifacts, let's say, that's a low end, but as an example. So, tagging would be something you would flag that one particular artifact as evidence.
So, in this case, the artifact was the visit to the website. Is that correct?
Correct.
And then the tagging was just so that you could find it when you went back into the extraction looking for it?
Yes, correct.
And so, if you could continue telling us about how you approached that.
So, I set a parameter of 12 hours before the visit and then 12 hours after the visit, and looked at the correlating other digital artifacts related to that.
And can you tell us what's a Chrome history database?
So, a database essentially, this is a very slimmed down version of what this is. So, if you think of an Excel sheet, and each Excel page is a section of the database. So, the database would be the whole thing, and there's a scheme or like a roadmap, let's say, of how these pages interlink with each other, that would be an entire database. Everything pretty much has database, it's just easy for file expansion and disc saving space and things of that nature.
And what about Chrome web history table?
So, a table would essentially be the Excel sheet that I explained before, it's a portion of the entire database. That particular one captures, without being a database engineer for Google who created it, but that table tracks URLs, webpage titles, dates and times.
So, is it basically a table that you get from the extraction that shows which websites that computer has visited?
Correct. Each table has its own functions on different data it tracks, and then eventually it puts it all together.
And what about a Chrome web visits table?
So, the visits table tracks things of were the webpages synced to the device? Were they local to the device? Are they typed? Was it generated? Was it gone there through a hyperlink?
So, basically is it a table telling how each website was accessed, whether someone typed in a search for it or clicked a link?
Correct.
And you mentioned a couple different ways typed, linked, generated... So, typed would just be someone typing in the search bar something to search?
Yeah. So, typed could be a few different things. So, typed would be somebody typed in an exact phrase or word. It also could flag the typed version, a typed flag if you copied and pasted something into the URL address bar.
So, if you're looking at a recipe for say cookies, and you copied cookies and pasted it into the search bar, would that be considered a typed event?
Yes, correct.
Or if you just typed cookies, that would be a typed event?
Or cookies, or if you typed in, say you put C-O for cookies, and then Chrome tried to auto-populate what they think you want to type, that would also create a typed event as well.
And then you mentioned linked, what is a link to access?
Link would be that you clicked on a hyperlink, which brought you to a different page.
And what is a hyperlink?
That would be a... It's a word phrasing, and then behind the word phrasing, there is a website coded behind that.
Is that like when you go on a website and there are certain words that are underlined that you can click on and it will take you to another page?
Yes, correct.
Okay. What about generated?
Generated is something that Google would suggest, or chrome would suggest.
Now, what is the Wayback Machine?
The Wayback Machine is a website that is a... I won't say monitored. It's created and maintained by the Internet Archive as a company. It's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. And what that does is it goes out on the internet, it takes snapshots of the internet webpages all over the entire internet, and then archives that. So, you can go back in later... It started in the mid '90s or so, but you can go back to, pick a date, pick a year, and you can see what that website looked like at that time, or approximate. It doesn't copy minute for minute, day for day, but you'll get something around the time that you were looking for, of what a particular page looked like at that date and time you want to see.
So, with regard to this case and looking into how that site, Suicide Methods, was accessed, what did you learn? Or what did you see?
When I went back?
Yeah. Go ahead.
So, the first thing I saw was a Facebook visit at 9:40 that morning.
9:40 AM on August 23rd, 2022?
Correct.
And what was the Facebook?
The link was lind.say. I believe it was 968.
So, Lindsay with a dot in between the D and the S, 969?
969, correct.
And after the visit to the Lind.say.969 Facebook page, what happened next?
There was a search in Spotify music for the singer Tom Hall.
What time was that at?
It was shortly after...
Is your memory exhausted?
Yes.
Do you have your report with you?
I do.
With permission?
Yes, that's fine.
That was at 9:42.
So, approximately two minutes after the Facebook account was accessed?
Correct.
And that website, was that a Wikipedia page?
No, that was Spotify music.
Oh, I'm sorry. Spotify. Spotify Music. And then, what did you see next?
There was a song off of that search in Spotify.
Was that the, That's How I got to Memphis, song?
Yes.
And was that at 9:44:18 AM?
Yes.
Then what happened next?
There was a Google search for Tom Hall.
And was that at 9:44:30 AM?
Yes.
And what did you learn from that Google search?
Off of that Google search, there was the Wikipedia page for Tom Hall was visited.
And were you able to use the Wayback website to see what that Tom Hall page on Wikipedia looked like around the time of August 23rd, 2022?
I did.
Is this a copy of that Wikipedia page from the Wayback Machine?
Yes.
If we can have this marked as the next exhibit.
No objection.
All right.
I have no objection to any of the documents.
It says Tom T. Hall.
Tom Hall, yes.
All right. That may be-
232
Thank you.
Could you see what happened next once the Wikipedia page for Tom Hall was visited?
So, I saw there was an anchor on the URL to the Death section.
What does that mean, an anchor to the Death section?
So, an anchor would be put at the end of a URL, so a web address. So, what an anchor does, it's a pound sign followed by a section of that page. So, if you think of it as, say you go on your banking website and it lists a table of contents, and it has login, mortgages, rates. If you click on, let's say rates, it's going to jump all the way down to that page, just to that section. So, it's a table of contents that's going to direct you directly to a certain section of the webpage.
And so, on the Wikipedia, someone clicked on Death and it brought them down to that portion?
Correct.
And in the Death section, could you tell what happened once the person was in that area of the webpage?
Yes.
What happened there?
So, in the description that described, the Wikipedia page described of Tom Hall's death, there was some wording regarding a shooting related to his ultimate suicide. Go ahead.
Showing you what's been marked now as 232. This portion here under Death, where it's, "Self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head," is underlined, is that the portion you're referring to?
Yes, correct.
And that portion there with the underlining, is that what you were describing earlier as a hyperlink that you can click and it takes you somewhere else?
Yes. So, inside that phrasing, there's actually a URL behind that, with an anchor as well.
Now, something like that, that type of hyperlink, can you hover over that with the arrow that the mouse directs hover over that and automatically be taken to that site, or would you actually have to click on that link?
No, you would have to click on that phrase with the link behind it.
And so, based on your examination of the Surface Pro in that area, was the hyperlink clicked on?
Yes.
And where did the hyperlink bring the person?
We now got to the original artifact I had located, which was the Wikipedia Suicide Method, but it directed it directly to the shooting section of that page.
Could you tell how long the person spent on that page, the Suicide Methods page, or how long it was accessed?
No.
Could you tell what time it was accessed?
Yes.
What time was that?
I don't recall the specific time.
Want to look at your report?
At 9:45 AM.
So, 9:45 AM, the Suicide Methods page was accessed, correct?
Correct. And did you use the Wayback Machine to see what it would look like on August 23rd, 2023?
I did.
Is this a copy of what you produced?
Yes.
If we could have this marked as the next exhibit.
It may be admitted.
233
Thank you.
And what could you see happening from that page?
I observed after that another Wikipedia page that went to the Grafton Bridge.
And was that from a hyperlink within the Suicide Methods page?
Yes.
Showing you page eight of Exhibit 233. So, within this jumping section is where there was the hyperlink to that bridge?
Correct.
Here?
Yes.
Grafton bridge. So, again, the person had to click on that hyperlink to access Grafton Bridge?
Yes, that would be correct.
Now, you said that the Suicide Methods page was accessed at 9:45 AM, what time was the Grafton Bridge webpage accessed?
It was shortly after that.
Do you want to look at your report?
At 9:48.
9:48?
Correct.
And so, approximately three minutes after first accessing the Suicide Methods page, the hyperlink for the Grafton Bridge is clicked?
Correct.
Was there any other activity besides going to the Suicide Methods page and then the Grafton Bridge page, any other activity that you saw within those three minutes?
I did not, no.
Okay. And so, did you do the Wayback Machine again for the Grafton Bridge?
I did.
Is this a fair and accurate copy of that page?
Yes.
If we could have this marked as Exhibit 234, please.
It may be admitted.
Exhibit 234.
You're not able to tell who's actually at the computer doing all of this, correct?
No.
You can only see what data there is and what's been accessed, correct?
Correct.
Thank you.
All right, Mr. Reddington.
That's it? That's your testimony? That's why you're here today to talk about a search that was involving Tom Hall or Tim Hall?
Sustained. If you could-
I apologize. Your testimony today is based on that search on August 23rd, right?
Correct.
Of '22, right? And you were working as a state police officer back then, right?
Yes, sir.
And were you attached to the Plymouth County DA's office or were you working somewhere else?
I was assigned to the Cyber Crime Unit.
And the Cyber Crime Unit works with the DA's office in Plymouth?
The Cyber Crime Unit is its own independent statewide unit.
So, in the sense that you're independent, it's still the district attorney and his assistant DAs that would reach out to the Cyber Crime Unit and ask for help, right?
Or it could be the troopers assigned to the State Police Detective Unit.
Joshua McKelligan, he was the lead investigator on this case, right?
I assume so.
Okay. So, you were tasked to analyze the computer, the Surface Pro computer, right?
Yes, correct.
And by all accounts, that was owned by Pat Clancy, is that correct?
That is correct.
And it was located in his office, right?
I don't know where it was located.
Okay. It's fair to say that when you analyzed the computer back in September, October of 2025, it was an investigatory role that you were using to locate potential evidence, right?
Correct.
And what is it you were looking for?
I was provided a search warrant with search terms, and that's as far as I knew of the case.
Okay. And what were the search terms?
I don't recall specifically, but they were spelled out in the search warrant.
So, when you have search terms, you take a person's computer and then what do you do? You access it through a device?
So, I was provided the images, I never saw the physical computer.
So, when you got the images, you were able to load them up onto your computer, I imagine?
Yes. We'll use a tool to help parse through that data. Correct.
And then as a result of that, you were able to plug in words that you could search for, right?
Yes.
For example, like suicide?
Suicide would be one.
Drugs?
I mean, I don't think that pertained in this case, but you could search-
Well, yeah, [inaudible 00:31:13] did.
I don't recall the specific terms in the search warrant.
Okay. Okay. So, after you did your search for whatever it is that you were looking for, suicide and other, you were unable to tell us what else you looked for, but in any event, you came across this entry on August 23rd, and you indicated that the timeframe that you're dealing with on that computer, the Surface Pro computer, was 9:40 in the morning, is that right?
The... Can you rephrase that?
Yeah. You can look at your report too, I mean, if you have documents in front of you, do you have-
I do.
All right. So, you can take a look at it. You have a document that's captioned, Matching Results, is that right?
I do not have that in front of me, but yes.
And would that be the search that you conducted?
Is that the Magnet tool report?
I don't know what it is. And I got cataract surgery and I can hardly see, so it's just... What is that?
This is the main page of the forensic tool.
Okay. And looking at the main page of the forensic tool, does it indicate the date is August 23rd?
That's an inbox. This also doesn't. Are we talking about this highlight here?
Yeah. What does that indicate?
That's an inbox, that's not that.
All right. So, what time-
[inaudible 00:32:57], could you keep your voice up or make sure you speak into that microphone?
Sorry.
[inaudible 00:33:04].
... microphone.
So that highlight is a mail inbox.
Okay. And that would be the HTTPS. And then underneath that it makes reference to at some point that you were able to see that Lindsay or Lynn's Facebook account was accessed. And it wasn't even the account, it was actually the homepage, right?
Correct. It navigated to the Facebook person's account.
Okay. So that would tell us that that particular Facebook account was accessed and then that conducted the search that you just testified to, is that the next thing?
This here does not have a Facebook visit.
All right. You can use this if you want. How about this next one? Does that have the Facebook visit?
This one does, yes, correct.
Okay. If you just want to take a look at that.
We're both [inaudible 00:34:15].
Yeah, both of us, blind.
Yes, that'd be right here.
All right. Thank you. Now, just before I leave, above that, does that also indicate these two top... What are these two top lines?
That was a CNBC web visit, which was typed in. And then there's a access to a Google Gmail account inbox.
And whose Google Gmail account was that?
That I don't know.
Because those two lines and references to the Google account were not in your report, right? You started off with the Facebook search, if you will.
Yes.
So you started off with Lindsay Facebook that was signed into the homepage on Patrick Clancy's Surface Pro computer, right?
So my tool report has all of the artifacts tagged as evidence.
Okay. So when you tagged the actual data from the Surface Pro and the HP laptop as well, right?
Yes, correct.
And your October report back in 20... Was it '25 or was it '22?
25.
But nothing changes on the computers. I mean, whatever your searches are and your records don't change over the years, right?
No, as long as it's preserved in that state, the images of that computer will remain the same.
Okay. And it's fair to say that with this investigation, obviously happening back in 2022, that the computers were hermetically sealed and stuck somewhere with an evidence locker to make sure that they're preserved, right?
Yes, that would be best practice. That would be correct.
So then in October of '25, the district attorney's office asked you to conduct a search of the computer apparently. Is that right?
The trooper in the Plymouth State Police Detective Unit reached out.
And that would be McElligan, right?
No, it was not.
Okay. Do you know who it was?
Trooper Justin Paul.
Justin Paul.
Correct.
Okay. And as a result of that, you then went, prepared your report. And one of the things that you did is you noted that on August 23rd of 2022 at 9:40 and 08 seconds, that there was an access to the Lindsay Facebook account, right?
Oh, there was a visit to that page, correct.
Right. And then that page continued on to look for Tom Hall and Walking to Memphis or whatever and the songs, right?
Yes.
On Spotify?
Yeah. Yes. After that was a Spotify search.
And then the timeframe of that would be that he went to a hyperlink that took him to methods of suicide. Is that correct?
That is correct.
Now, were there any searches on that computer, for example, ways to kill?
No, there was not.
To your knowledge, and I understand that you might be stuck with what you investigated, but are you aware that there were any searches from Lindsay Clancy or a Patrick Clancy on ways to kill? You ever heard that?
In my initial report back in October that contains all of the evidence artifacts that I had tagged as evidence and provided, I did not come across that, no.
Right. So basically what you are leaving with the jury would be that on that date of August 23rd at approximately 9:40 in the morning, and then carrying forward with jumping from Tom Hall to the Wikipedia account, to the underlined name, suicide, jumping to that page, that all occurred between 9:40 and say 10 o'clock in the morning, right?
Correct.
Did you know, sir, that on August 23rd, prior to your report indicating the Facebook account, that Mr. Clancy signed in and it was Mr. Clancy's email that accessed the Facebook account for Lindsay Clancy?
I did not.
And that was not included in your report, was it?
No, it was not.
And you know that the Clancys had three children, right?
I did not.
Well, you knew that you were working on a case where Lindsay Clancy was the mother and she was married to Patrick Clancy, right?
Correct.
And did you know, sir, that on August 23rd of 2022, that two- year-old child was brought by Lindsay to South Shore Health for Dawson's ear recheck, that he had problems with congestion, but no complaints of ear pain, no fever. And that was on August 23rd, 2022, that he was examined at 10:15 in the morning.
I'm not privy to those facts.
So you don't know that Patrick Clancy's email signed into Lindsay Clancy's Facebook account. You're not aware of that, right?
It's whatever the default profile was signed into the Chrome browser.
And then that accessed the Facebook account, which looked up Tom Hall the singer, right?
Yes, correct.
That then led to the Wikipedia talking about suicide?
That is correct.
Led to the Spotify talking about somewhere in Memphis, whatever the song was, right?
Yes.
And this was all occurring from 9:40 in the morning until, like I said, 10 o'clock thereabouts, right?
Correct.
You tagged actual data from the Surface Pro as well as the HP laptop, right?
I did.
And your October report contained searches from the Surface Pro, right?
Yes.
And you recall, for example, just a representative sample that, and this would be on the Surface Pro computer, now we're jumping ahead to December 5, not August, of '22, December of '22. One of the inquiries of the Google searches was what to do when a psychiatrist over-prescribed, right?
Yes.
Searches for medications, right?
Yes.
Including Lamictal, right?
Correct.
Can bipolar disorder be temporary? Right?
Yes.
Can benzos reveal bipolar disorder? Right?
Yes.
How long are detox programs? Right?
Yes.
What is DBT? I'm just saying that's a search, I don't know [inaudible 00:41:32].
Oh yeah. I had to look that one up too.
Okay. Lamictal versus, it says Zolofy, but I would suggest it would be Zoloft. That was a search, right?
Yes, correct.
What is mania? It was a search, right?
Yes.
Ketamine for benzo withdrawal. January 18th of 2023 was a search, right?
Yes.
Ketamine therapy on January 18th of 2023, correct?
Yes.
Now, you know, maybe not personally, but you know Steve Verronneau, who's also a gentleman who does what you do with computers and laptops and stuff, right?
Yes.
Now you've worked on cases and you know Steve, you recognize him right here, right?
Yes.
You know that Steve was working with me and Lindsay on accessing information from cell phones and computers. And he actually, through me, reached out about a month ago to the DA's office and raised some questions, correct?
I'm not privy to that.
Oh. Well, the DA reached out to you about a month ago and asked you to revisit your investigation, and as a result of that, you created another report, didn't you?
I did.
And that would just be on July 26th of '26, right?
Yes.
And that was after DA reached out to you, but didn't tell you it was because we had questions that Mr. Verronneau asked me to find out about, right?
Yes, I was not privy to that.
So as a result of dealing with the DA in July 26th of '26, you then prepared your report. And the purpose of that report was to find out more details if you could pertaining to the "methods of suicide" page, right?
Correct.
And in your July 26th report, you then went into detail about your findings, correct?
Yes.
And we would agree that that particular webpage was not a search for methods of suicide, it was actually the Tom Hall and the music, right?
That is correct.
And then the URL shows access to Lindsay's Facebook profile, correct? You accessed and found out that Lindsay's Facebook profile...
Was a web visit.
Right.
Yes, correct.
But you don't know that it was Lindsay that was actually using that computer to search for Tom Hall, right?
I don't know who was sitting behind that.
You don't know that Patrick Clancy plays a guitar, do you?
I do not.
You don't know that Patrick Clancy is a music aficionado, right?
I do not.
You don't know that Patrick Clancy enjoyed Tom Hall music, do you?
I do not know that.
And you certainly don't want to leave it with this jury that Lindsay was looking up ways to commit suicide in August of '22, do you?
All I'm presenting is the facts that were presented in front of me.
And a couple more questions, sir. When a user logs into their Facebook, their own Facebook account, it doesn't populate or bring you directly to the actual profile page. It brings you to the homepage, right? That shows you followers and things like that?
I think so. I don't have Facebook or social media, so maybe. I don't know.
That's all I have for this gentleman, Your Honor.
All right. Commonwealth...
I would ask if I could, Judge, the two documents that I was questioning him from, could I introduce those into evidence? I think he agreed that that was part of the search.
Could we just approach?
Sure. Yeah. All right, thank you. That may be admitted.
And Your Honor, I would offer, if I could, the medical records from the Pediatrics Associates that...
They're already in evidence.
Well, I'd like to have it focused on that. You don't mind if we put that particular...
Why don't we mark that for identification? We can address whether or not... I want to double check, I haven't gone through all the records either.
[inaudible 00:46:47].
Oh, I understand. We'll mark that for identification.
Thank you, Judge. Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Exhibit 235, exhibit for identification.
Sir, just for clarification, before when I was doing direct, if at any point I said August 23rd, 2023, what you did when you did the way back machine was searches for around the time period of August 22nd, 2022, correct?
Correct.
And anything that you looked at that day regarding the search for suicide methods or any of the other places that were visited were August 23rd, 2022, correct?
Correct, 2022.
And the visit to the Grafton Bridge Wikipedia page was at 9:48 AM, correct? Not 10:00 AM?
That visit was at 9:48, correct.
Okay. And defense counsel asked you about the defendant being at the doctor's at 10:15 AM. Are you aware that it only takes four minutes to drive from her home at 47 Summer Street in Duxbury to the Kingston location of the pediatrics?
I was not, and I also wasn't aware that they went to the doctor's.
And you can't tell us who was behind the computer at different times, correct?
No.
You can't tell us whether people used the computer, then got up and let someone else use it, and then went back to using it, correct?
No, you cannot.
You can only show us the data that you observed that day, correct?
That is it. Yes.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you. What has been marked for P for identification, which would constitute the health information records from the South Shore Health pertinent to the child. You're aware, sir, that the records... You're aware, sir or you're not aware that the child was brought to the doctors, not at 10:15, but was brought to the doctors around 10 o'clock in the morning. You're aware of that?
I'm not aware of any of that.
And did you know how old the child was?
Sir, my testimony is related to the...
So you don't? The answer is no?
I do not.
Okay. So is it fair to say, sir, that, I mean, from your life experience, that when someone has to bring a child, a young baby to a doctor, you got to get him dressed, you got to feed them, you got to get in the car, you got to drive. And that's the four-minute ride as well, right?
I'm not privy to any of that information.
Thank you.
All right. Anything further?
No.
All right. Thank you, sir. You may step down.
Thank you.
Commonwealth calls Timothy Chiappini.
Good morning, sir. Stop right there [inaudible 00:50:25].
Good morning. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony and the evidence you shall give to the court and the jury now coming between the Commonwealth and the defendant [inaudible 00:50:27]?
I do.
Thank you, sir. You may have a seat.
Watch your step, please. All right. Good morning, sir. Attorney Sprague, please.
Thank you. Good morning. Can you please state and spell your name for the record?
My name is Timothy Chiappini. Last name is spelled C-H-I-A-P as in Peter, P as in Peter, I-N-I.
Where do you work?
I work for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the Department of State Police.
How long have you worked for the State Police?
I graduated the academy in March of 2012.
What is your current assignment?
I am currently the unit commander for the Critical Incident Technical Investigations Team.
How long have you been doing that?
Since approximately April of this year.
What was your assignment in January of 2023?
I was assigned to the State Police Detective Unit for the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office.
Do you have specialized training in cell phone forensics?
I do.
And could you describe that please?
I was initially certified as a Cellebrite physical operator and a Cellebrite... Excuse me. Cellebrite certified operator, Cellebrite Certified Physical Analyst in March of 2017.
And are you also trained in GrayKey and Magnet?
I have been trained in GrayKey examination since August of 2021. And I've been familiar with the forensic program known as Axiom in that course, but I'm not certified in Axiom.
And regarding Cellebrite, can you describe that software for us?
Cellebrite is a forensic access and acquisition tool for cell phone or mobile device forensic extractions. It also has an analysis component as well.
And were you asked to do a forensic analysis on a cell phone belonging to Lindsay Clancy in 2023? [inaudible 00:52:22]. Oh, I'm sorry.
Yes, ma'am. Cellebrite is an access and acquisition tool for mobile device forensics and cell phone extractions. It also has an analysis component for extractions.
And were you asked to do a forensic analysis on a cell phone belonging to Lindsay Clancy in 2023?
I was.
Did you do that?
I did.
And how did you do that?
I performed an advanced logical extraction on the iPhone device belonging to Lindsay Clancy.
Can you tell us what that means in just lay terms that we could all understand?
An advanced logical extraction of an iPhone is essentially an iTunes backup. It is the information or data from the phone that you as a user can see, including images, calls, text messages, browser artifacts, basically everything that the person would see that uses an iPhone.
And is it just making a copy of everything that you could see on that phone?
That's correct.
And what is the analysis portion of... You mentioned you do Cellebrite extraction and Cellebrite Analysis, what's the analysis portion?
In January of 2023, the analysis software would be Cellebrite Physical Analyzer, and with that, you can also export a report to be utilized in Cellebrite Reader.
So basically, are you just taking someone's phone, making a copy of the data that's on it, and then looking through the data?
That's correct.
Is it an exact copy?
Yes. When the phone is forensically extracted by the Cellebrite software, a hash value is created. A hash value is a unique digital fingerprint of the extraction. It's an alphanumeric string of characters, and every time the extraction is open in the Cellebrite software, that hash value is verified. If the data in the extraction is changed by just one bit, the hash value would be changed and the extraction would no longer be valid.
So basically you look at those numbers, the number chain, to make sure they're the same, and then you know it's an exact copy?
That's correct.
And did you do that in this case?
I did.
And was it an exact copy?
It was.
And are you able on the extraction to change any of the data while you're analyzing it?
No. That would invalidate the hash. I can use filters in the analysis to look at particular data that I want, but I can never change the contents of the extraction.
And so when you say use different filters, can you put things in categories to organize it so that, for example, can you put all the photos together and all the text messages together?
The Cellebrite physical analyzer tool automatically parses the data into various categories, and it processes media, various forms of media, images, videos. It processes different direct communication, whether it be through a web application such as Instagram or the native messaging application on the device known as iMessage. So it parses the information automatically and you're allowed to look at different categories.
So does it create a report with all the data?
I can create a report from the extraction and it has all the data contained in the report and I can filter it based on the parameters that I'm allowed to look at legally.
And when you do that extraction of a phone, do you get everything that's on the phone?
Depending on the type of extraction, I get all the data that's available to me by the forensic tool that I'm using at the time.
So do forensic tools improve over time to allow examiners to get more and more data from phones?
Yes.
So basically what you were able to get from Ms. Clancy's phone was what the tool you were using at the time was capable of getting at that time?
I performed the most comprehensive extraction type that I was able to do at the time of the examination.
And then there were improvements to that system following what you did that may have allowed other examiners to get more information?
That's correct.
Were you asked to generate some reports about certain sections of the defendant's phone?
I was.
If you could pull up the... Could you look at the screen please. Were you able to create a report regarding data on Ms. Clancy's phone from November of 2022 to December of 2022?
Yes.
Can you zoom in on that please? And could you just explain for us the different columns we're seeing here?
The columns are automatically generated by the software when you create a supplemental report. This is a supplemental report created through the Cellebrite Physical Analyzer Software Analysis Tool. When you create the supplemental report, you can stipulate to certain parameters, certain content, certain timeframes based on your investigation. In this case, there are multiple columns at the top reflecting the different types of data, the timestamp for that data, a description in the source file for the data. This is a timeline report and therefore it reflects those exact columns and that is predetermined by the software.
So for example, where it says type, what is that telling us?
That's where Cellebrite has parsed the data and categorized it based on the forensic extraction.
So there at number one where it says activity sensor data, what is that?
That would be the data from the health database within the phone.
If there was something in the direction box, what is direction?
Direction could be related to a call incoming to the device or outgoing from the device.
So if one was a phone call, it would say to or from?
I believe the exact categorization would be incoming or outgoing.
Incoming or outgoing. Okay. And then the attachment box?
Attachment box would be associated with a message, typically a MMS message or multimedia message. A text message that contains a photo would be listed as an attachment. It could also be associated with an email that has an attachment or some type of transaction on the phone that resulted in something being attributed as an attachment.
And then what about the location box?
If the data source has location information associated with it, then that box would have data filled out. This report is 768 pages, so there's a variety of sources of data within this report.
And what about timestamp? Where it says timestamp, the date and time, is that Eastern Standard Time?
It is. It's UTC minus five as the time of this search warrant... Excuse me, the timeframe of this incident occurred in January of 2023, therefore, the extraction reflects the exact timeframe of the time zone of the device at the time of the extraction.
And where it says party, what would be in that column?
Again, this is a timeline report, therefore, there's a variety of data sources contained within it. There is chats or messages that occur from the user of the device to other people, and those parties would be listed within the chat, otherwise known as a group message.
So if there was a text message, the direction would say incoming or outgoing, and the party would say who the text was to or from?
It would say who the participants are on the conversation.
So if it's one person you're texting, it would have that person's name. But if you're in a group text, it would have all of the names?
Correct.
And then what about the description box?
Description box is based on the database information. It has some information associated with the actual data that was parsed by Cellebrite. It also provides the source file. The source file is the database that Cellebrite parsed the data from. Everything that you see as far as activity sensor data or any other categorizations, that's done by the software. The software parses that data to make it more readable for the examiner, but everything is associated with an actual database within the device.
And so for example, where it says source health, that's coming from the health section of the phone?
Specifically the health database, HealthDB.
And where it says source file, Lindsay's, how does that name populate there for source file?
Indicating that it comes from Lindsay's iPhone. That is the name that the software detects from the name of the device when it conducts the extraction.
The box for party, if it's a phone call or a text message and it has a person's name in there, say I text you and your name is there, how does that populate? How does your name get into that box? Is it something that the phone gets from incoming information or is it something that's in my phone?
The tool is only able to take the information that is present on the device at the time. In order for contact to be in a phone, it would have to be entered by the user.
So would it be whatever I name your phone number is what will show up in the party?
Correct.
So if I have say my mother's phone number in there and I say Mom for her contact information, it will show up as Mom?
The software will display the phone number and the contact name that was detected by the tool from the extraction.
So if I've put a contact in, Mom, and the phone number, the phone number will show up in Mom?
Correct.
Can you search within this PDF?
Yes.
And do you do that by clicking on the search bar there at the top?
Yes, this is my Microsoft Edge, and that is the proper method within this application.
And so if we were to search, for example, the [inaudible 01:03:11].
I'm not sure of the spelling.
There we go. Sometimes it takes a second to populate.
It does. It's a large document. As I said, it's 768 pages, so depending on the machine that you're using to conduct your analysis, it could take some time for the document to load.
Okay. And do you use these arrows here up and down to go to each spot that that word is located?
Correct. The application Microsoft Edge has detected four entries for the spelling that is in the search box, and you can navigate to each of those four entries by using those arrows.
So for example, here at message 6951, it says it's an instant message, it's outgoing, meaning it's going out from Lindsay's phone?
That's correct.
It's on December 21st, 2022 at 2:57 PM, correct?
Yes. Eastern Time.
And then it says from Lindsay owner to Allison, correct?
Yes.
So that indicates that it's a text message from Lindsay to someone named Allison, correct?
Yes, with the corresponding phone number.
And then here where it says more of a general depression mental health program like at McLean Hospital, is that the body of the text message that would've been sent from Lindsay's phone to Allison?
Correct.
And you can search through the PDF for whatever term you're looking for, whether it be Patrick or medications or anything that you're searching for, it will populate any text messages or searches about those keywords?
Yes.
If we could have the next one, please. Did you also do a report regarding things that were downloaded onto Ms. Clancy's phone?
Yes.
You can look here. Is this that report?
Yes. Again, this is a supplemental report created within the physical analyzer analysis tool from Cellebrite.
And what is this report showing us?
A singular item from the documents section of the Project Tree, otherwise known as the analysis component of Cellebrite Physical Analyzer. And it's one single document.
And this blue hyperlink here at the top, 2022, 10, 12, 15, 28, is that what you click on to access the document?
Yes. When you create a supplemental report within physical analyzer...
Yes. When you create a supplemental report within the physical analyzer, when it creates the PDF, if it has an attachment associated with it, that attachment will be in a separate folder within the report. That way when you click on the actual hyperlink, you're brought to the physical document itself.
And for example, in this report, there was a request for medical leave form that was downloaded to the defendant's phone?
Yes.
If we could go to the next one, please. What are we seeing here in this report from December 26th, 2022 to January 24th, 2023? Is this the same type of search for any information and data on the phone during that time period?
Again, a timeline report is a chronological report of a sequence of events on the device, and it has the same categories as the previous exhibit. In here, the first item within the date parameters happens to be a calendar entry.
And so if we go here to page 846 of the document, can you explain for us here, is this web history, website visits that are documented on the phone?
That's one of the categories listed as an artifact. The items shown here on the screen are all associated with web browsing.
And here where you see 10773 and 10774, and they both state, "Can you treat a sociopath?" Those are two entries that have basically the same search term, correct?
Yes.
And that was on January 20th, 2023?
Yes.
And they both say 8:28:29 PM. So is it possible to do two searches at the same time like is displayed there?
The Cellebrite Physical Analyzer tool parses the information in ways that the information could be categorized in a multitude of ways. Simply because there is more than one entry does not mean that something was done more than once. It's simply just a category that Cellebrite has identified. You could have an item that's in searched items because that's what the tool has identified as a searched item. Also within web history, as in the search item occurred within the web history. Does not necessarily mean that it was done more than once. It's the job of the examiner to be able to look at the timestamps and the associated databases to determine is this more than one entry or the same action just categorized in multiple ways.
And when reviewing Ms. Clancy's phone, did you see numerous occasions where it looked like something was searched multiple times, but it all had the same exact timestamp?
That's correct.
And so what you just testified to make sure I'm understanding it, would it be accurate to state that one search could be documented and located in many different areas of the phone?
It could be parsed in multiple ways by the analysis tool.
So basically categorized?
Correct.
So it's one search that's categorized as multiple different things?
That's possible.
And so here where we had the search at the same exact time down to the second, that appears to be one search for can you treat a sociopath, not two, correct?
Yes.
We can go to the next one, please. Now this area here, this separate report, is this the notes that were found on Ms. Clancy's phone?
That's correct.
And if we could zoom in on that please. And it's basically detailed in journal form, correct?
Yes.
Starting October 24th, 2022 and moving down, correct?
The summary portion that you just pointed to is automatically generated by the application. When it reads the first few lines of text, the more relevant date is in the column to the left.
So over here where it says created October 25th, 2022, that's when the note is first created?
That is the date that's detected by the analysis tool from the operating system of the device.
What does modified mean?
That's the date that was detected by the forensic tool and the last time that this note was modified according to the operating system.
Modified mean that it was changed in some way?
Yes.
And so if I start a note in my phone on October 25th and I go in there every day and change it, and the last time I change it is November 3rd, will it show every modification or just the last modification?
The only date timestamp that will show is the last modification. Unless the forensic tool is able to categorize each time the note was changed, I'm only able to detect the modified timestamp or last modified timestamp, and just the entirety of the note.
And excuse me. You don't know how many times this note was modified, correct?
Based on this forensic tool and this artifact, no.
Can you tell what within the note was changed?
I cannot.
So everything could have been the same and maybe a date changed, or there could have just been a date and everything was changed on November 3rd. You just don't know?
It could have just been a one character change on the last modified date. But with this forensic tool and this artifact-
What's the date?
November 3rd.
Thank you.
And if we could just scroll down to the October 25th entry. And I would just like you to read this portion of the note. I would read it. I'm sorry, but I'm having some difficulty here.
"Okay. I'm sad and depressed because I am not able to parent my third child like my first. I want to treat any one of my babies like my first, but I know that's not a feasible possibility. I'm sad that I stopped breastfeeding. I feel not as connected with Cal now. I think I sort of resent my other children because they prevent me from treating Cal like my first baby. And I know that's not fair to them. I know that." "I was feeling so depressed last evening when Cora and Dawson came home from school. I know it runs off on them so we had a pretty rough evening. I want to feel love and connection with all my kids. I'm also probably having a bit of an internal conflict because my whole life I wanted to have a lot of kids. I still don't want Cal to be our last, but I have a lot of figuring out what to do before I have another." "I'm on the fence about starting a new medication for anxiety/depression. I just want to feel happy. I want to be able to relax and take care of my kids. And when they go to bed at night, I want to deeply relax and hang out with Pat and then fall into a deep sleep for eight hours. Get up and pour hard into myself for an hour and a half. Cal was so very planned and desired. I want to be able to give him all the love he deserves." "I guess that's what it's like to be the third child though. He's not the first third child to ever exist. I think I know he'll be okay, but it's really hard for me. I hate that he has to put himself to sleep. I'm sad I'm not breastfeeding anymore, but I think deep down these are the right choices."
If you could continue.
"As with the sleep training, I needed a baby that slept through the night because I simply do not have the opportunity in my life to catch up on sleep. I just don't. If there was a time for me to nap every day, then that may not have been the case, but there really isn't. When Cal naps, I have to take care of Cora and Dawson. That's just how it is. It feels cruel to me that we did not do that to Cal, but the reality is we did what we had to do." "I guess I also feel slightly traumatized by the sleep training, but that feeling was only really present when I was severely sleep deprived and paranoid. I know what we did was the right thing and okay. As for the breastfeeding, it kind of goes hand in hand with the sleep training. Once he started sleeping most of the night, it was then a daily struggle to keep up my milk supply. I was having to take a ton of supplements and constantly think about eating and drinking enough to keep the supply up. And then I was having to think about pumping extra to keep it up and that was really hard to do with Cora and Dawson around." "When I tried to leave Cal to go out with Cora and Dawson, I was stressed about the pumping and not to mention the fact that Cal was at home and not taking a bottle. So it was a battle of if I should pump or not. I know I did the right thing because I need to be able to leave Cal with someone and get fed. As much as I don't want to leave him, I need to be able to. I need to be able to be present with my other kids." "I still really, really want a fourth child, but I need a really good therapist before then. I'm on the fence about starting a new med or not. I want to feel happy, but it would be nice to feel authentically happy and not fake. But I need to feel happier than I did last evening because then I was pretty depressed and not enjoying any of my children. It was really sad. I needed the breastfeeding off of my plate." "I'm struggling so hard because I wanted to parent each of my kids like my first. And since I can't, that's depressing to me. This is definitely the root cause of all our problems. Now I feel like I'm not parenting any of my kids the way I want to, and that makes me sad too. But I'm going to try my best today." "Things I love doing that help me love and appreciate and enjoy my kids or activities with them. I definitely started having some depression after Cora, but once I started getting up and out with her, I felt much better. I think signing Cal up for baby music class would be a great thing. Maybe Fridays can be my day with him. I've just fallen out of the habit of doing anything fun, anything for myself, anything with Pat, and I need to work on that." "On a positive note, I had a great deep night of sleep. I'm terrified of something happening to my kids or doing something wrong to mess up their development. Our generation is inundated with information about every aspect of parenting and everything that can go wrong if you don't get it right. And all the scary things happening in the world. It's insane. For the last five years, I've just filled my mind with all things parenting and it's just unhealthy."
Thank you. And so everything that you just read would've been written and filled in by the user, correct?
Correct.
If we could go to the next one. This is another note. Is that correct?
That's correct.
And this note, it says it was created December 22nd, 2022. Then it was modified on January 23rd, 2023, correct?
Yes.
And this note here, again, we don't know how many times it was modified. You just know the last date it was modified, correct?
That's correct.
And you don't know what was changed in the note, you just know that something was?
Correct.
Okay. If we could go to the next one. Now, in this report, we're seeing some photographs. Is that correct?
Yes.
And why did you flag these photographs?
The photographs had multiple modification dates relevant to the investigation.
How so?
The photographs have created, modified, and access date that are all the same. However, the metadata indicates a much earlier time.
What is metadata?
Metadata is data about data. An image is data. And with the Cellebrite Physical Analyzer tool, you're able to see the data about, in this case, an image. Metadata would be the device used to capture the image. It would be potentially based on the user settings, location data associated where the image was when it was taken. Excuse me, where the device was when the image was taken. A lot of times it'll tell the size of the image or the type of image file that it is.
And so basically when you look at the metadata of a photograph, you can tell what device was used to take it and the date that the photograph was taken on?
Correct.
And can you also tell if that photograph has been changed or modified in any way and when it was changed?
Using the forensic tool, I can make inferences based on certain modifications.
And how do you do that?
In this case, the image here is a .jpg. That's the file type of this image. Therefore, I know that the image that I'm seeing is created, modified and accessed on this date. However, it has a capture time of November 2nd, 2022 at 11:27:15 AM.
And is there something on here that says when it was modified?
Where the cursor is now indicates it's a modification date.
So above it is when it was created, below it's when it's modified? Or no, down here, capture time and the metadata is when it was initially created, correct?
Correct. And if you look at the source file, you can see the source file indicates that the image was modified under the component where it says adjustments.
So just for the jurors looking at this report, here in the metadata, capture time is when the photo was taken. Above it, the 1/23/23, that's the date that the picture was changed in some way?
Yes.
And are you able to tell how the photograph was changed?
I can do analysis based on an image and see that an image from its native format was modified.
So basically if I'm on my phone and looking at photos and I brighten something or I crop someone out of a photo, that would show it as being modified?
It would show it as being modified. In this instance, it created a new file, which is why it has the created modified date being the same.
And so would it be accurate to state that on this type of phone, when you modify a photo, you can change that photo and leave it there changed? Or you can create a new image with that changed photo?
Well, with an iOS device, Apple has the capability of taking what's known as a live photo. It's a proprietary name with Apple. But the exact file type is HEIC file. HEIC stands for high efficiency image container. HEIC or a live photo is essentially that. It's a container or a burst of images that are taken over a very short period of time. It's a more effective way to store an image file within a device. Takes up less room. It also allows the user to have a multitude of pictures to choose from at a single point in time. If you modify an HEIC image to be a singular photo, you can save it to the file type known as a JPEG or JPG.
So a live photo is one of those photos that's taken. Did you see a little movement before it settles into the photo when you look at it?
Yes, ma'am.
And is that an automatic setting on iPhones that it's set to live and you have to change it if you don't want that feature?
That's correct.
And so if you modify the photo and save that photo, that modified photo is not live?
Correct.
And is that what you saw here, that there were a lot of photographs of the children that were accessed and modified in some way?
Yes.
And during what timeframe were these photographs accessed and changed?
During the evening hours of January 23rd, 2023.
Okay. If we could go to the next please. And what is this report displaying?
This is another timeline report with the first event starting January 24th, 2023 at 4:00 PM.
And does it go on January 24th, 2023 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM?
That's correct. It encompasses everything that would be before that timeframe. It appears the last entry is 7:02:01 PM.
And this would contain all of the things that were done with the phone between 4:00 and 8:00 PM on January 24th, 2023. Is that correct?
Everything that was detected by the forensic tool based on the extraction type.
Okay. And if we could go to the timeframe, 4:30 to 4: 35. Using the tool, we'll search MiraLax. Looking here, starting at item 37 at 4:46 PM, is there a search for MiraLAX for kids on the phone?
Yes.
And again, we're seeing this, the search for MiraLAX for kids, 4:46:55, 4:46:55, the same time over and over again. Is that another example of one search showing up in multiple categories?
Correct. As an examiner, I would be looking at the timestamp and also the category second box in from the left, indicating that the Cellebrite software has parsed it in multiple locations.
If you could search ThreeV. In searching ThreeV in the document, we see here multiple sources. You could do a search with the number ThreeV. So we see here at 4:43 PM on January 24th, a search for the ThreeV menu, correct?
Yes.
And if we could scroll down a little. And again, those are all at the same time, so they indicate one search for the menu?
Yes. And the tools parsed it in multiple categories.
And if we could go back. Was there also a search in Apple Maps for ThreeV?
Yes.
And what time was that?
I'm sorry, there's a glare.
If we could go to 4:13 PM. And here in Apple Maps, do we see ThreeV Restaurant at 4:13 PM?
Yes.
And when you're using a map feature to look up a location such as Apple Maps, what type of information do you learn when you plug in a location or an address into Apple Maps?
A route preview.
And does that route preview give you a length of time it would take to travel to that location?
Depending on what you indicate here as your originating location, yes.
And so if you plug in ThreeV Restaurant to Apple Maps and it maps out a route to get there, does it tell you from your location to ThreeV how long it would take to get there?
Based on traffic conditions, yes.
Because that changes constantly, correct?
Yes.
So if I open up my Apple Maps and I put in ThreeV right now from here, at this time, the time it takes to get there might be different than say at six o'clock tonight?
Yes.
And so if we can go to 4:47 PM. And here at 4:47 PM, again, we're seeing the search for Kids MiraLax, correct?
Yes.
Is there also a visit to a CVS website here at 4:47:04?
Yes. It's categorized in multiple categories within the tool, but it parsed an artifact at that time.
If you could scroll down a little please to the phone call, the next phone call right here. This outgoing phone call at 4:48:21 to 781-585-6581. Did you learn that that was a phone call to the CVS at 189 Summer Street in Kingston?
Yes.
And so that would be an outgoing phone call from the defendant's phone to CVS?
Yes.
Can we go to 4:53 PM please? And then there's a message. It says message 80 outgoing from the defendant's phone at 4:53:09 from Lindsay to Patrick Clancy, correct?
Yes.
And it says, "Any chance you want to do takeout from ThreeV? I didn't cook anything. It's been a long day." Correct?
That's the content of the message.
Is there a response in message 82 from Patrick to Lindsay?
Yes, there is.
And what is the answer?
"Yeah."
And then is there a response from Lindsay to Patrick at message 84?
Yes.
What is that?
"Okie dokie."
And then message 86, again from Lindsay to Patrick, does she send him another message?
She does.
And what does that say?
"Check the menu when you can."
And then if you could scroll down to the next message. Is that message 90 from Patrick to Lindsay asking if Callan just got up?
It is.
And then message number 92, is that from Patrick to Lindsay saying, "Awesome. What are you getting?"
Yes.
And then 94 at 5:06 PM. Is that from Lindsay to Patrick stating, "But it was just a short nap," in message 96.
Yes.
And then at message 97 at 5:06, is ThreeV menu searched?
Yes.
And that source says Safari. Is that a Safari web search for the ThreeV menu?
Safari is the default web browser on an iOS device, and iOS stands for iPhone operating system.
So that's a basic search on your iPhone for the ThreeV menu?
Utilizing the Safari web application, correct.
And then number 98, is that another search for Pedia-Lax?
Correct.
Excuse me. Now both the search for ThreeV menu and the search for Pedia-Lax are at 5:06:45. How does that happen, that they're two searches for two different things at the same time?
Can you repeat the question?
So you have in message 97. You have on January 24th, 2023 at 5:06:45, a search for ThreeV menu. Then the same date at the same time, a search for Pedia-Lax.
And what's the question?
How does it happen that you have two searches at the same time?
I would only be able to make an inference from here without having the forensic tool available to me.
And what would the inference be?
That there was more than one tab open.
Okay. So on your phone or a computer, when you're doing web searches, you can have multiple pages open, correct?
Yes.
And you can just click on whatever page you want to open, you can click on and that will open up?
Correct. You can select which tab you want within the Safari application.
Tabs, right. Okay. So how many tabs can you have open at any one time?
I'm not sure the number, but I've seen iOS devices capable of having more than 30 or 40 tabs open at a time.
So it wouldn't be uncommon or unusual to have at least two open to two different web searches?
No.
Okay. If we could scroll down a little please. And then we have in 106 and 105, both messages. First 105, we have a web history. At 5:06:47, the menu at ThreeV restaurant. Again, the source Safari. And then we have cookies at 50648.ThreeVrestaurant.com. Can you tell us what the difference between those two are?
They're both from different databases. They're both associated with web browsing. Web history is from the history component of the Safari application. Cookies are installed through web browsing, through legislation. When you visit a website for the first time, you'll typically be prompted do you want to allow the website to download cookies onto your device. Cookies downloaded on your device serve a multitude of reasons. One might be that it allows the website or the company to be able to track your activity while on their website. Which helps them for marketing and business purposes. Another component of cookies would be to enhance the web browsing experience for website you go to on a regular basis. It would increase the load time. So it is an artifact that is indicative of web browsing.
And so message 108. Again, we have at 5:06:49, we have a message from Patrick to Lindsay saying, "Oh, okay." Is that correct?
Yes.
And then message 112, we have a message from Lindsay to Patrick where she says, "Mediterranean Power Bowl, correct?
Yes.
And that was at 5:07 PM. We have a message 115 from Patrick to Lindsay at 5:08 PM. "Okay, I'll do Scallop and Pork Belly Risotto." Is that right?
Yes.
All right. And then if we could go to 5:10 PM, the phone call right there. Oh, go back for me. And so we have two phone calls here, one at 5:09 PM and one at 5:10 PM. The first to 508-747-4950, and the other to 508-927-4046. The first one is for 11 seconds, correct?
That's the duration, yes.
And that's noted here above source?
Yes.
And then the second is 47 seconds. Is that correct?
Correct.
Did you look into these two phone calls?
I don't recall.
Okay. Do you recall the 508-927-4046 being the number for the ThreeV restaurant?
Yes.
And if we could scroll down a little bit. Are there further searches at 5:13 PM starting at number 128 for Pedia-Lax?
That's correct.
And again, we're seeing that same thing with the same time, but multiple different categories that that one search is located in, correct?
Correct. Single artifact, multiple categories that the tool parsed it as.
Can we go to 5:33 PM please? Oh, I'm sorry. Stop there. Thank you. 146, message 146, a message from Lindsay to Patrick at 5:15 PM, which states, "Pedia-Lax liquid stool softener," correct?
Yes.
All right. And then at 1:47, we have 5:33:51 PM. Is that a phone call from Patrick's phone to Lindsay's phone?
Yes.
And that has zeros in it for duration. Does that indicate the call wasn't answered?
It would be an inference.
And then going down to 150, we have an outgoing call from-
We have an outgoing call from the defendant's phone to Patrick Clancy for 14 seconds at 5:34 PM, correct?
Yes.
That means the call lasted approximately 14 seconds?
Correct.
And then the last item there, item 152, that is an incoming call to the defendant's phone from Patrick Clancy, correct?
Yes.
And again, we have zeros here indicating that the call wasn't answered, correct?
It's an inference, yes.
If I could have these reports that I just went over, submitted on this disk as the next exhibit.
No objection.
That may be admitted.
Exhibit 236. Did you also, looking through the defendant's phone, access the information on the calendar portion of the phone?
I did.
And the calendar portion of the phone, does that have different types of data, both populated by the phone itself and Apple, and then items populated by the user?
Yes.
Could you give us an example of something that would be populated by Apple and not the user?
A national holiday such as Christmas Day would be populated by the operating system through the application of Calendar.
And then if I'm using my phone and I'm putting in appointments or parties or things I'm going to, that would be something that the user is putting into the calendar?
Correct.
And did you do a report of all the calendar activity for Lindsey Clancy's phone from August 4th, 2022, to January 31st, 2023?
I did.
If I could have this marked as the next exhibit.
No objection.
All right. That may be admitted. Ms. Spring, is this a good time to take the morning break?
I just have one more exhibit to put in and then I would be done.
Okay. That's fine.
Did you... I'm sorry.
[inaudible 01:41:18] 37.
All right. Thank you.
Did you also do a report on all the text messages between the defendant's phone and an individual that had been labeled mommy?
Yes.
And was that for the month of January 2023?
I did.
We move to have these admitted as the next exhibit.
All right.
That may be admitted.
[inaudible 01:41:42].
I have nothing further.
All right. So why don't we take the morning recess at this time? All right? So members of the jury, we're going to take a short recess and then we'll return back to the case.
Court, all rise. [inaudible 01:41:57], please. [inaudible 01:42:02] the courtroom.
All right. We'll be in recess on this matter. Thank you.
All rise. This court is back in session. You may be seated.
All right. Counsel, you ready for the jury?
Yeah. Thank you.
Court, all rise. Jurors in. The court is now in session. Please be seated.
Your Honor, for the purpose of the record, we return back to the trial of Commonwealth v. Lindsey Clancy. All parties are present, including the defendant, and including the 18 jurors.
All right. Mr. Reddington?
Yes, Your Honor. Thank you. Morning.
Morning, sir.
So you are part of the prosecution team that handles the downloads of computers and cell phones and things like that, right?
Specifically mobile devices, sir, not computers.
Mobile devices. Okay. And the other gentleman that testified, Pavo, is that his name?
Paveo, sir.
Paveo. And he did the laptops that were found in the office in the home, right?
Correct. He has those certifications.
Okay. Now, the district attorney had asked you some questions about different searches that you had done on Cellebrite and on Axiom. All your searches dealt with Lindsey's cell phone, right?
To clarify, sir, I did no searches on Axiom.
Okay. You did searches on Cellebrite?
This is the only forensic tool I used, correct.
All right. And basically, I'm just trying to get a handle on, that you and your other brother or sister officers would examine, for example, the computers that were found in Patrick's office in the house, right? You didn't, but the other people did, right?
That's correct.
And then you got the computer... Strike that. You got the cell phone that was Lindsey's cell phone, right?
Yes, sir.
And you then did what's called an advanced logical of Lindsey's phone. Is that right?
That's correct.
And what is an advanced logical? What does that mean?
It's an extraction that utilizes the iTunes backup of an iOS device and it acquires most of the user-facing content, meaning calls, texts, images, browser history.
Okay. So you lost me on user-facing. What does that mean?
What the user sees when they're using the phone.
Okay. So if you pick up a phone and you open it up, then you're interfacing with the phone and you're looking at different things such as photographs, emails, texts, things like that?
Yes, sir.
Okay. In addition to trooper, now Sergeant Paveo and yourself, there also was another trooper that you were working with, a guy by the name of Rabbit, like Roger Rabbit, right?
Yes. Joseph Rabbit was assigned to the unit at the time.
And he also conducted a search, but he did what's called a full file system extraction, right?
I don't recall.
Okay. What is a full file system extraction, as opposed to advanced logical extraction?
A full file system extraction would acquire the databases and information that you cannot see as a user on a device.
I see. So your extraction was done on January 30th, is that correct?
Yes, sir.
And Rabbit's extraction was done on January 27th, right?
I'm not aware of Trooper Rabbit's extraction.
Did you ever collaborate with him as investigator investigating Lindsey Clancy on this case and talk about what you located or what he located?
I had no discussion with him about the phone extraction.
All right. Is he still working for the state police?
He is.
Would you agree with me that the full file extraction actually gets more information than the Advanced Logical? In other words, Rabbit's extraction would've got more information than you got on your Advanced Logical?
That's correct.
So one of the things a district attorney had asked you about was in reference to Exhibit 237. And that would be the Cellebrite report. Is that correct? Basically the caption for the extraction on the Cellebrite report?
This is a supplemental report that I completed from the Physical Analyzer software.
Okay. And would that be Cellebrite?
Yes.
It's Cellebrite, that's why I asked. Looking at Exhibit 237, the second page, that on the very top that I'm looking at here, can you tell me on the right, what is it depicting on the right? This little box.
Yeah, on your right there, [inaudible 01:49:05].
Yeah, I know that. You see the little box? Well, [inaudible 01:49:09]. I'm just going to quote you. This here is the exhibit that the district attorney asked you to look at, 237, right?
Yes, sir.
Okay. And it's a Cellebrite report, right?
It's a supplemental report, yes.
And that would be the calendar search, right?
The calendar supplemental report, correct.
Okay. So that means that if Lindsey had appointments anywhere, it would've been presumably, if she put it in the phone, in her calendar, right?
Yes.
Okay. So when you looked at your investigation, directing your attention to the start time, what date are we talking about here?
The start time is August 14th, 2022 at midnight. End time would be August 14th, 2022, 11:59: 59 PM.
Okay. So if you look down to the next one, it says what date?
August 23rd, 2022. 10:00 AM.
Okay. And did she make an entry on her-
She did.
... computer on that date and time?
She did, sir.
And can you tell me what the entry was?
The subject is 10:00 AM Callan Kingston Vaccine.
So Callan would be the son. She had it in her phone that he had an appointment to get a vaccine at 10:00 PM?
The time is 10:00 AM.
10:00 AM. Okay. And the next one, what is the next one?
Would you like to know the subject, sir, or the date?
Yeah, sure. Just whatever the date is and then what the subject is.
Okay. The start time is August 23rd, 2022, 5:00 PM. The subject of the entry is 9:45 Kingston Dawson, ear check.
And that would be indicative of an appointment that she had at the pediatrician's office for Dawson's ear check at 9:45 in the morning. Is that correct?
Could be an inference. I'm not sure, but that's the entry.
Okay. Now looking at Exhibit 235, you can tell me what is this document.
I recognize it as a screen capture from an Axiom phone extraction.
All right. And you did indicate you were Axiom qualified, right?
I am not, sir. I'm familiar with the program as a result of my training at Graykey. Magnet Forensics owns Graykey Technology. And in the training course for GrayKey [inaudible 01:51:53] process extractions using Axiom, but I'm not certified in the software of Axiom.
But you can interpret it. You understand what that shows you? It's just a listing of different activities on the phone, right?
I'm aware of what the screenshot depicts, yes.
All right. See the highlighted one. Can you tell us what that is? The date and the time and what it's referencing. Do you need a magnifying glass?
It references a website, sir.
And what's the website?
Mail.google.com.
That mail, like M-A-I-L, right?
Yes, sir.
Okay. Does it indicate whose mail it is? Does it show it on the right-hand side of the box?
I can't definitively determining whose mailbox it is.
Okay.
Trooper, I'm going to ask you to make sure you keep your voice up. Okay?
Yes, Your Honor.
The next page is pretty much the same thing, the same day. Okay. Can you tell us on that page who signed in under what email?
The artifact is indicating that there is a title with an email.
What's the name?
I'm sorry. P- A-T-R-I-C-K-W, .clancy@gmail.com.
So that's fair to say that that would be patrickwclancy@gmail.com. That's his email that signed in on Lindsey's Facebook.
I can't confirm that.
Okay. And when you were going through her phone, is it fair to say that, I mean, there wasn't much in her life that wasn't exposed to the state police and the DA's office and the investigators? I mean, your report initially was 180,000 pages of PDF, right?
It was a very large download, sir.
Does 180,000 sound about right?
It does.
So 180,000 pages on a PDF, you do a number of extractions, and then you get into the one that you were testifying about. District attorney indicated, or you stated that it was 768 pages of text messages that she had, along with photographs perhaps?
That was a timeline search. The number of items in that report are indicative of only of the timeframe in which I was utilizing it within the software.
Okay. So when you went through her phone, did you come across on a Cellebrite report, searching for, "Where is the carotid artery?"
I don't recall.
Might be easier this way. This is a Cellebrite report on Lindsey's phone, right? Now I understand that you might not have been standing next to another cop, going through the records and documents on her phone, but on this, you're able to recognize that as being the Cellebrite report, right?
It is a Cellebrite report, sir.
And it's a Cellebrite report for her phone. You can tell by the numbers, right? Maybe this would help a little bit. You see this here where it talks about source file and it's got a number, quadruple 00008110-000925E and all the rest of them? That would be her phone, right?
I don't have that number memorized.
Of course not. But it would be in your report?
Yes, sir.
Okay. That would be a Cellebrite extraction report?
It would depend on the supplemental report that you have, sir, whether or not that character was displayed.
[inaudible 01:56:35], because this we agree is Lindsey's cell phone. Cellebrite extraction report.
This item you have here, sir?
No, no. I'm sorry. The exhibit.
This is the calendar supplemental report. Yes.
So Lindsey, so what's the number? You must have a number that would connect to her phone, like an address, like your home address, but in fact it would be a number, right?
It's a device identifier, it is not presented in this supplemental report.
Okay. Where would the device identifier be presented?
It'd be presented in the front page of the initial extraction report.
And that's the 780,000 or whatever it is, pages, right? You don't have that here. Certainly 180,000 pages. You don't have that here, right?
No, sir.
Excuse me, Your Honor.
Sure.
Speak with Mr. Barano for a minute. Did you bring your report today with you? Just the report, not all the exhibits.
No, sir.
So you would agree with me, sir, that one of the concerns as an investigator that you had, is things such as looking for buzzwords like suicide, right?
I'm not sure I understand the question.
When you're looking on the target's phone, and out of this whole courtroom, the target would be Lindsey Clancy, right?
Yes, sir.
All right. And you had access to her phone, right?
Yes, sir.
And you all went into it with a search warrant, right?
Yes, sir.
And you were looking for different topics such as suicide, drugs, killing kids, I imagine, to investigate, right? You had buzzwords.
Yes, sir.
And did you come across, for example, a search that indicates carotid artery?
I don't recall.
Did you come across a search on Safari, "How to slit your throat to die?"
I don't recall.
Did you come across a search, "Can you turn airbags off on Kia Sorento?"
I don't recall.
Did you know that she had a Kia Sorento?
I did not.
If I approach you with this Cellebrite report, sir, does that give you the numbers for what I just went through with these surgeons?
The universal device identifier is a match.
It is a... Okay.
Yes, between this document in my hand and the ones that you're holding.
So what's the first search on the first box?
The value associated with the source file is "Carotid artery."
And the next box?
"How to slit your throat to die."
And the next box.
"Can you turn airbags off on Kia Sorento?"
And these all came from Lindsey's phone, right?
I can't confirm that.
Well, it's a pretty good inference, right?
Yes, sir.
Okay. You want to read off of these?
If we could just see them at [inaudible 02:00:30].
Sure. Yeah.
U, R, S, T, and [inaudible 02:00:30].
Thank you. And just drag the [inaudible 02:00:31] down. Thanks. And if I can, just for continuity, sir, looking at what has been marked as Exhibit R, S, and T for identification, not an exhibit yet the jury would have, but nevertheless, we can question you about it. You do agree with me that the phone identifier numbers are listed here, and they're pretty much the same on these three exhibits, right?
Yes, sir.
Okay. And that would be Lindsey Clancy's phone, right?
I can't confirm that.
Hold that. The exhibit [inaudible 02:01:15].
Yes, sir.
So I've just handed you Exhibit 237, sir. Can you tell me what that exhibit is? The district attorney questioned you about it.
It's a supplemental report that I compiled from the Cellebrite software on the calendar application.
Do you have access to what was referred to as the mommy text messages?
Not with this document, sir.
So that document is the calendar that we had already gone through as far as seeing the doctor, 9:45 and 10:00 appointments, right?
That's correct.
All right. Here's the [inaudible 02:02:02] mommy documents.
The [inaudible 02:02:07] documents?
Mommy texts. Mommy. Mommy [Inaudible 02:02:10].
Exhibit 238.
There you go.
[inaudible 02:02:33].
[inaudible 02:02:33].
[inaudible 02:02:33].
[inaudible 02:02:33]. Exhibit 238, sir, if I may. On the exhibit, sir, this would be captioned the mommy text message thread between Lindsey and her mother. Is that fair to say?
For January of 2023, sir, yes.
Okay. So this search was limited by the police to January of 2023 for the texts between Lindsey and her mother, right?
Correct, sir. It's a filtered supplemental report from Cellebrite.
Filtered supplemental report. Okay. So when the jury's looking at these in the jury room, who would be the blue texter? Would it be Lindsey or her mother?
You could just look at the participant delivered, status sent from Lindsey owner to mommy. So the green would be from the owner of the phone, to the recipient, mommy.
Okay. So green would be Lindsey, blue would be the mother. Is that right?
That's correct.
All right. [inaudible 02:03:31] give you Exhibit 238. And just for a representative example, I mean, looking through, will you look at September 28th at 6:18 in the morning?
Sir, can you repeat that date?
Yeah, sure. September 28th. Oh, that's right. You didn't do September. You only did January, right?
Sir, this exhibit is just for January of 2023.
Okay. I apologize. Let's jump to January then. Now, let's say January 3rd, 8:35 in the morning. Do you have that?
One moment, sir.
Sure.
Yes, sir.
And what did Lindsey say to her mother on January 3rd at 8:35 in the morning?
At 59 seconds, sir?
Yeah.
"I'm all right. Anxious about meeting with the whole psychiatry team."
How about the next message that she sent at January 3rd at 8:37 in the morning?
In 31 seconds?
Sure.
"I'm just worried they won't send me home soon."
Now, do you know as a police officer working on this case, what she meant? "Send me home," do you know where she was on January 3rd?
It would be an inference only, sir.
That's all right. You can infer.
I believe she was in a medical facility.
McLean Hospital.
I recall that hospital being mentioned.
And then on January 8th, sir, at 10:44 in the morning, was there a text from her mother to Lindsey, if you know? 10: 44. When the mother asked, "Did you sleep good?"
One second, sir. It's cut off by the clip here. 10:44:30 AM?
Yeah.
From mommy to Lindsey, "Great. That will be fun. Sleep good last night?"
And did she respond? She, meaning Lindsey.
She did.
What'd she say?
"I actually did."
And this was on January 8th, sir?
That's correct.
January 10th, could you pull that up please, at 9:48 in the morning?
I apologize, sir. Can you repeat the time on the 10th?
Sure. 9:48 in the morning, beginning with mother asking questions of Lindsey. "Still sleeping good?"
I have a message at 9:48:15 from mommy to Lindsey.
Okay. What is that?
"Good morning. How are you doing today?"
And what did she say in response?
"Good.. At the gym with the kids."
And what was the date? Was that January 10th?
2023, 9:48:21 AM.
So do you have January 10th in front of you? Not the 23rd.
My correction, sir. January 10th, 2023 at 9:48:21.
All right. And what did the mother ask her?
Nice, still sleeping good.
Did she ask, "Are you feeling better during the day?" And she said, "So far, a little bit"?
Would you like me to read that, sir?
Yeah.
At January 10th, 2023, 9:53:01 AM, "Are you feeling any better during the day?" From mommy to Lindsey.
And go to January 12th, 11:09 in the morning.
Yes, sir.
What did mommy say?
From mommy to Lindsey, January 12th, 2023, 11:09:32 AM. "Still feeling a little better?"
And how did she respond? How did Lindsey respond?
"A little bit."
And then on January 16th... Well, wait a minute. January 14th at 1:05, I think in the afternoon. Can you pull that one up?
Yes, sir. One moment.
Okay. Do you recall where it starts as, "I'm waiting for the day"? And that would be from Lindsey to her mother.
Can you repeat the time one more time, sir?
Sat Dec 30 1899 01:05:00 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time)
AM or PM?
PM.
And this is on the 14th?
Yes, sir. Yep. January 14th.
I have a message from Lindsey to mommy, January 14th, 2023, 1:05:13 PM.
Saying?
"About the same... Hanging in there and waiting for the day I wake up and feel me."
So she says, "Waiting for the day I wake up feeling like me," right?
That's correct, sir.
Okay. And Then on the 16th of January, if you can pull that one up. January 16th at 10:20.
I have a message from Lindsey to mommy, January 16th, 2023, 10:20:24 AM.
What did it say?
"It was fun... Cora and Dawson enjoyed..."
Now did it make reference at any point in the text that that was a reference to the Cape Codder? Is that in there at all? Do you see it? "It was fun," referring to what was fun, if you know?
Not in this particular message, sir.
Okay. Then continuing on, sir, January 18th, would you agree that she inquired of her mother or the mother asked, "Are you starting a new med?" She said, "I did. I started it two nights ago." And that basically the mother was asking her about her medications and how she felt and how she was doing, right?
One moment, sir, I just have to get to that point.
You know what? That's okay, because it's an exhibit and the jurors are going to have it, and they can take a look at it, so that's okay, we're good on that.
Okay. Don't I answer the question?
No, you don't have to answer. It's all right.
Okay, sir.
Now, on January 24th, district attorney asked you about the Google searches, Googling 3V restaurant, looking at the distance from the house, the 3V restaurant, looking at menus. You recall answering her questions on that?
I do, sir.
And you're familiar also prior to that on the same day, that she had taken the baby to a doctor and that texted her and asked basically how'd it work out. Do you recall that?
I recall the doctor's appointment. I don't recall the text.
Do you recall that Lindsey sent a picture of her and her children taken that afternoon?
I recall the snowman photo.
I'm sorry?
I recall the snowman photo.
Okay. And that was on the 24th of January, right?
It was, sir.
Do you recall...
... Yeah, and that was on the 24th of January, right?
It was, sir.
Do you recall that Pat texted back and said something like, "Oh wow, you're a good mom," do you recall that?
I don't recall the texts.
One of the other searches that you did would be, or are you aware that there were searches for medical, such as questions regarding bipolar symptoms, psychosis? Can you be in DKA without high blood sugar? Page after page after page. Trazodone, Trazodone. What is the effect of Trazodone? Wellbutrin. How do you feel on Trazodone? Ativan addiction. Prozac, Trazodone, going on and on and on. You guys saw this on her search on her phone, the Cellebrite, right?
I recall those searches, sir.
Okay. Could I offer this, Your Honor? This would be medical searches on her phone.
Any objection?
No.
All right. That may be admitted.
Exhibit 239.
Great. Thank you.
Do you recall, sir, that there was also a search for schizophrenia? Recall saying that?
Not specifically.
Well, if I approach you, sir, in your extraction report, does that refresh your memory that there would be a search on her phone with schizophrenia? See where it says "schizophrenia", right there?
Yes, sir.
Okay. What was the date of that search?
January 19th, 2023, 9:58:01 AM.
Okay. Put that right here for a minute. How about psychosis? Did she search for psychosis as well?
If I may?
Yeah, of course.
There is a keyword search, "psychosis," in a Google search.
And that would be a keyword search, as you said, in a Google search, on the January 20th?

Okay. Then there, is there also a search for Seroquel?
Seroquel is part of a search, yes.
And what was the rest of the search?
On Seroquel, "Feel like I can't have a conversation."
Okay. And then it goes on on a number of other inquiries as well, correct? Dealing with Seroquel.
That's correct, sir.
Okay. And then further, do you recall that there were a number of pages where she Googled and was inquiring about suicide?
Yes, sir.
And can you tell us when she was Googling suicide?
December 29th, 2022, 1:02:14 PM.
Okay. And would you agree that she also Googled on a number of occasions, "Sleep"?
" Sleep" is one keyword in part of a Google search, correct.

Thank you. And keyword "benzo," is that on the Cellebrite report for Lindsey's cell phone?
It is, sir.
Can you tell us what the timeframe is?
Sir, would you like it for the first entry or all the entries?
Give me the idea, brackets. Starting on when, ending on when. We don't have to go through all of them.
The earliest entry appears to be December 6th, 2022, 9:17:05 AM, with the last entry being January 20th, 2023, 8:13:48 PM.
Thank you. And search for "bipolar." That was on her phone?

Okay. Thank you. And "clonazepam" was a search as well, correct?
That's correct, sir.
And can you just give me an idea what's the timeframe on that?
All of the searches in this report indicate January 18th, 2023 in the morning hours from 11:26 AM to 11:27 AM.
Okay. And the next one would be "Ativan." See where it says Ativan? Just give me the first month. What's the stat, search for Ativan?
The earliest timeframe, sir?
Yeah.
December 31st, 2022, 7:06:30 PM.

Yes, sir. 10:33:49 AM.
Your Honor, I would offer these.
If I could just look them over.
Sure, yeah.
You're welcome, sir.
No objection.
Okay. Those may be admitted. Do you want to admit, it's individual?
Is one individual or all one? I don't care.
All right. Why don't we do that? I hate to do this to you. Why don't we do it individually? Just might be easier down the road.
Okay.
Exhibits 240 through 260, submarked.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I apologize, I neglected to ask about this Cellebrite extraction report from Lindsay's phone. Does he agree with me it's another extraction search on her phone?
Yes, sir. It's a supplemental report for searched items.
Okay. And looking at that, if you can, basically there are a number of search terms in there such as, "Pre-made goodie bags," and that would've been on December 31st. Is that right?
Yes, sir.
All right. And what's the next one underneath that, that would be on December 31st?
" Child with bloated belly and lethargy."
How about the next one on December 31st?
"Children's Motrin stores."
What about the next one on the 31st?
"Children's Motrin."
Next one.

Yes, sir.
Okay. Next one.

Just rip right through it.

Yes, sir.
Who do we have to for date right now?
The last item I read was ADC Temple Touch Thermometer, sir. And the date was January 17th, 2023. Time 2:19:03 PM.
Okay. I just want to get a frame on the time.
Yes, sir.
Okay. Go ahead and finish that.
"Eight month milestones." "Fluffy slime recipe." "Fluffy slime recipe." "UTI symptoms children." "Kids MiraLAX." "MiraLAX for kids."
And what was the date on that?
The last date on the page for, "MiraLAX for kids," January 24th, 2023. 4:47:31 PM.
Yeah. And go ahead, finish, there's three more.
Yes, sir. "CVS Pharmacy," "Pedia-Lax," "Pedia-Lax."
Okay. Thank you, sir. I'd offer this, Judge.
All right, that may be admitted.
[inaudible 02:29:27].
Yeah, 261. Yes.
Yeah.
Exhibit 262.
And then finally, sir, approaching you with... It would be a report. You can recognize that document, right?
Yes, sir.
Right. And what is that? It doesn't have the thing, the header on the top of it, so.
It's a supplemental report, sir, and appears to be text messages.
Okay. Are you able to know when the photograph of the two kids and the snowman was sent to Pat by Lindsay? Do you know when? Was it on the 24th? If you know.
I would have to look at the extraction.
All right. So, understanding jury would be able to be looking at the photo and has a little history. If we look at this report, you see where it says, "Lindsay owner," and then over here it says, "Cutie."
Yes, sir.
So is that from Pat to Lindsay?
That's correct.
And what's the date and the time?
January 24th, 2023, 8:19:45 AM.
Okay. And what's the next one that you see? And just say to us like, "It's Pat to Lindsay," or, "Lindsay to Pat." And what is the message? You don't have to go through all the numbers.
Yes, sir. Next item. Do you want me to read the date, sir?
Yeah, sure.
Next item, January 24th, 2023, 8:36:17 AM. Lindsay to Pat, loved an image, which is a reflection that someone used the feature within iMessage to like an image.
Like an image, like a photograph, right?
Correct, sir.
Okay, yep. What else?
You want me to keep going?
Sure.
January 24th, 2023, 8:42: 16 AM. From Patrick to Lindsay, "How's it going?"
And you know what? If it's the same date rather than taking the time, just go right down and read the messages. That would be-
[inaudible 02:31:43], sir.
... [inaudible 02:31:43] timeframe.
The date is the same for all the messages.
Okay, good.
From Patrick to Lindsay, "How's it going?" Lindsay to Patrick, "Good." Lindsay to Patrick, "Okay. Her urine looked good, so nothing going wrong with her kidneys. Phew." Patrick to Lindsay, "Good," with a smiley face. Lindsay to Patrick, no message content. Patrick to Lindsay, "Oh, wow." Patrick to Lindsay, "You're a good mama." Lindsay to Patrick, a smiley face with hearts. Lindsay to Patrick, blank. Patrick to Lindsay, laughed at an image. Lindsay to Patrick, "Any chance you want to do takeout from 3V... I didn't cook anything. It's been a long day." Smiley face. Patrick to Lindsay, "Yeah," smiley face. Lindsay to Patrick, "Okey-dokey," smiley face.
Okay. I'd offer that, Your Honor. Thank you.
Yes, sir.
Your Honor, these text messages are already in evidence as exhibit 23.
Well, I'd like to have this.
I'll allow that.
Thank you.
[inaudible 02:32:51].
Thank you. Finally, district attorney spent some time asking you about modifications to a photograph, and I think it was of the little baby. Do you recall that line of questioning?
Yes, sir.
What did that mean? Does that mean that someone or Lindsay or someone on her phone changed the photograph of the little baby? Is that what that means?
It means that the photo was edited in some fashion.
So that could be like coloring?
It could be a variety of things.
Like what?
As I indicated in my earlier testimony, it could be that someone took a live photo and instead of having it be a live photo, which is a multiple burst of images, they took it down to just a single photo.
Okay. Anything else that can be modified?
Multiple things, but from the extraction, that's the only thing I was able to determine.
So, you weren't involved in the search of the Clancy house on the 24th, 25th, were you?
No, sir.
Were you aware that there are photographs of the kids hanging in virtually every room, kitchen, living room, bedrooms? Do you know that, as an investigator on this case?
Sir, I was not involved in the search.
You know that there were dozens and dozens of photographers, [inaudible 02:34:15] little babies were all over the house? Did you know that?
I was not aware of that, sir.
Thank you.
Commonwealth redirect.
Yep. All of the exhibits that defense counsel just put in about the searches for psychosis or certain drugs, are those all available in the disc Exhibit 236 in some of those reports where you can search the word and all of those mentions will come up?
Yes.
[inaudible 02:35:00]. Thank you. Sir, on exhibit, is that 258? Thank you. The search is about psychosis. Some of those searches were for psychosis symptoms on January 19th, 2023. Is that correct?
That's correct.
So the person using the phone looking it up was looking up to find out what the symptoms of someone would be experiencing if they had psychosis, correct?
It's a keyword search for psychosis symptoms.
You were asked some questions about the chats between Lindsay and her mother in exhibit 238, correct?
Yes, ma'am.
There's a text message from her mother to Lindsay on January 19th, 2023, which states, "I'll bring it Saturday. Never know what treasures I'll find in the attic," correct?
That's correct, ma'am.
Seeming to indicate that her mother's going to visit her that Saturday, correct? From the text message content?
It's an inference.
Was there also a text message from Lindsay's mother to Lindsay on January 22nd, 2023, which would've been the Sunday after the Saturday visit in which her mother says, "Enjoyed seeing everyone this weekend. Nice to see you doing better."
That's correct.
I have nothing further.
All right. Mr. Reddington?
Just very briefly, kind of like a housekeeping thing, if I could, Judge. I'm approaching you with [inaudible 02:38:19] text messages. Would you agree with me, again, that this came off of Lindsay's phone and it would be text messages between Patrick Clancy and Lindsay? You can flip through them all. Trust me, one or the other. It's up to you.
Yes, sir. That's correct, sir.
Okay. And then finally, I'm handing you, again, extractions from Lindsay's phone that, you can flip through them if you wish, would be between Lindsay and Sue Clancy, her mother-in-law, Patrick's mother. It said Sue Clancy.
That's correct, sir.
Okay. I'd offer these too, Your Honor.
Objection.
If I can see counsel, sidebar.
It's UND [inaudible 02:39:29] application.
Right. So, that's all I have. Thank you, sir.
All right. Attorney Sprague, anything further?
No, Your Honor.
All right. Thank you, sir. You may step down.
Thank you.
All right. So members of the jury, it's 1:00, 1:01, so don't hold that against me. So we're going to take the afternoon recess at this point. I'm going to ask you to be ready to come back 2:00, until the next witness. My instructions are the same. During the break, don't talk about this case, don't do any research, don't read anything, don't listen to anything. And then we'll see you back here about 2:00. Okay, thank you.
Court, all rise. Jurors, are you closing notebooks? Face them on the chairs, please. This way, please. Jurors, [inaudible 02:40:52].
Before we break, Judge, I apologize.
Yeah.
Just when I introduced the records from South Shore Health, actually I put in a cover page in the wrong page that does not reference the actual medical record that I have. So, do you have any objection to the substitute status? The appointment.
Right. I'm sorry, I just missed the part where you said it's different than what you submitted?
Yeah, what I submitted is just like a cover letter and some other things. I thought I submitted the medical records.
Oh, no objection.
All right. So you want to substitute those?
Yeah, sure.
Is it from this new batch?
Yeah. Thank you. [inaudible 02:41:33].
All right. All right. Thank you. All right. So we'll be in recess till about 2:00.
Court, all rise.
[inaudible 02:41:43].
This court is back in session. You may be seated.
Your Honor, for the purpose of the record, we will turn back to the matter of Commonwealth versus Lindsay Clancy. All parties are present, excluding the Jury.
All right. Counsel, are we ready for the jury?
Yes.
All right.
[inaudible 02:42:07]. Court, all rise. Jury's entering.
Your Honor, [inaudible 02:42:43].
Yeah, actually, that'd be helpful.
This court's now in session. Please be seated.
Your Honor, for the purpose of the record, we will return back to the trial of Commonwealth versus Lindsay Clancy. All parties are present, including the defendant and including the 18 jurors.
All right. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Thank you, members of the jury. We're going to now return to the Commonwealth's presentation. Ms. Sprague?
Thank you, Your Honor. Commonwealth calls Joshua McKelligan.
Good afternoon, sir. Can you stop right here and raise your right hand for the clerk please?
Good afternoon. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony and the evidence you shall give to the court and the jury [inaudible 02:43:49] the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
[inaudible 02:43:50].
Thank you, sir. You may now proceed.
Watch your step, please.
All right. Good afternoon, sir. [inaudible 02:44:03].
Thank you, Your Honor. Good afternoon. Can you please state and spell your name for the record?
Joshua McKelligan. M-C-K-E-L-L-I-G-A-N.
Where do you work?
Massachusetts State Police.
How long have you been with the state police?
Since December of 2013.
In January of 2023, where were you assigned?
To the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office.
And what was your role there?
I was a trooper assigned to the homicide and major crimes section.
And could you tell us within that unit what the role of a case officer is?
A case officer is assigned cases as they come in, and the case officer then is the point of contact to the district attorney's office, the state police, other agencies.
And as a case officer for a homicide, for example, when you respond to a scene and you're doing the investigation as time progresses, is the case officer doing every part of the investigation?
No.
What is the-
... you're doing every part of the investigation?
No.
What is the role of a case officer in terms of managing or collecting information?
Is to try to gather everything and then we try to keep track of what's been going on with the investigation.
And so, within the State Police Detective Unit at the Plymouth County DA's office, there are a group of troopers that work there, correct?
Yes.
And do you work as a team on any homicide investigations you're working on?
Yes.
And the case officer, is it their role to collect information and evidence from the other troopers as they gather it?
Yes.
Do you have a supervisor when you are the case officer?
Yes.
I want to direct your attention to January 24th, 2023. Did you learn that day of an incident that had happened at 47 Summer Street in Duxbury?
I did.
What time did you learn about that approximately?
About 6:45 PM.
PM?
PM.
And how did you learn that information?
The duty lieutenant in the state police headquarters in Middleborough called me.
Once you had that information, what did you do?
I called my supervisor and then responded to Duxbury.
And where in Duxbury did you respond?
I went to Duxbury Police Station.
And at that point in time, did you know that you were going to be the case officer for this case?
Not when I responded, but at the police station I was informed I was going to be.
Okay. And at some point in time, did you go to 47 Summer Street in Duxbury?
I did.
And when was that?
After I got a search warrant, I went to the house. It was probably, I think around early morning between three and four, sometime like that.
Between three and 4 AM?
Yes.
So it'd be the early morning hours of January 25th, 2023?
Yes.
And did you take part in the search of the home?
I did not.
What was your role there at the home that night or in the early morning hours?
I just went to observe the house, just to see what the scene and the house looked like.
Okay. So other officers were conducting the search?
Yes.
At the scene, did you eventually walk through the house?
Yes.
And was that before or after the search was executed?
After the search.
At some point in time, did you go into the master bedroom on the second floor?
Yes.
And what did you observe in that room?
I remember a tent style covering a crib, I believe. There was a mirror in front of me. To the left, there was the bed, and then I remember blood on the floor.
And you said to the left, but pointed with your right arm?
No, it was my left hand.
Your left? Okay.
Yes.
All right. So you go into the bedroom and do you see anything on the floor, on the walls, the bedding, anything?
Yes. Just going off of memory, I remember there was blood on the floor and the mirror was kind of straight ahead from the entrance of the door.
Okay. And was a video taken of the house that included that room in particular?
Yes.
I'd like to move to submit the scene video from the home as the next exhibit.
Any objection?
No.
All right. That may be admitted.
264
And if we could play the portion of the video for the master bedroom.
Sure.
Thank you. Sir, when you went into the master bedroom, did you see blood sprayed all over the walls and everywhere?
No.
And fair to say that the video shows all of the walls in the bedroom and doesn't show any spatter or anything on the walls?
Yes.
Did you also go outside into the backyard and look at the exterior of the home?
Yes.
If we could have the photos, please? If we could zoom in on the top window. Does this photo show the condition of the upstairs window, the second floor window that leads to the master bedroom?
Yes.
And the screen there in the video, is that how it was when you saw it that night?
Yes.
Pushed up?
Yes.
And if we could see the next photo. If we could go back to the first one. Actually, we can go back to the first one and zoom in the middle there between the two windows. These areas of red brown stains on the exterior of the house, did you observe those that night, in the early morning hours of January 25th, 2023?
Yes.
And then the third photo, please. If we could zoom in on there. This third photo, would this be the first floor window below the master bedroom window?
Yes.
And these red brown stains on the shingles and then on the window ledge there, were those there in the early morning hours of January 25th, 2023?
Yes.
Could we have these three photos marked as the next exhibit on the disc?
Any objection to the fact that they may be admitted?
Exhibit 265.
Now, as the investigation proceeded, did you learn or did other officers learn from Patrick Clancy that the defendant was on some psychiatric medication?
Yes.
And was that information relayed to you in terms of preparing the search warrant?
Yes.
And is that why you included prescription medication in the search warrant?
Yes.
At that point in time, did you or any of the other officers know that the defendant had crushed up pills and taken them that night?
No.
At some point in time, did Patrick Clancy bring pill bottles to the state police and turn them over?
Yes, he did.
And where did he say those were from?
In the center console of his truck, not the top section, the section underneath it.
Did he tell you at some point that pills had been found in the nightstand drawer?
Yes, he did.
And that was in the master bedroom?
Yes.
And did he tell you who he found those with?
Yes, he did.
And who was that?
His attorney.
And did he tell you why he gave those pills-
Objection. I believe it was me, and I'm not his attorney.
But that's what... Why don't you re-ask that? What it was that Patrick Clancy said.
What was it that Patrick Clancy said? Did he give you a name or just say my attorney?
He said Kevin Reddington.
And did he tell you why he gave the pills to Attorney Reddington instead of giving them to you like he gave the other pills?
No, he did not.
He never attempted to turn those pills into the state police or those bottles into the state police? Is that correct?
Correct.
At some point in time, did you learn that the Clancy family had gone to the Museum of Science on January 8th, 2023?
Yes.
And was a video obtained?
Yes.
Did you watch that video?
Yes.
Okay. Did you observe the family, including the defendant, interacting with each other and the defendant specifically interacting with the children and exhibits at the museum?
Yes.
Your Honor, at this point in time, Exhibit 14, I'd ask to play just a small portion of that. It has not been played previously.
All right.
If we could pause here for just a moment. Do you see the Clancy family in this video footage?
Yes.
And if you could just get up and point to them, with the court's permission.
Sure.
Okay. We could press play. And at this point in time in the video, are we seeing Patrick Clancy take Dawson Clancy out of that room, leaving Lindsey Clancy with Callan and Cora?
Yes.
Is that Cora there in the red skirt?
Yes.
Now, at this point in the video at approximately 11:58:30, what is happening in the video footage now?
Cora's beginning to play with the exhibit. Patrick's standing off by himself. Lindsay Clancy is with Callan and Dawson is watching.
Could you just point out where Patrick and Dawson are?
Patrick, Dawson.
For the record, you've pointed to Patrick towards the top of the screen and Dawson near the entrance to the exhibit?
Yes. Yes.
And throughout this video, in this portion of the video, can the defendant be seen instructing the children, pointing to them, showing them how to work the exhibit and operating some type of control panel?
Yes.
And at some point, does the switch and the defendant helps Dawson with the same exhibit?
Yes.
And that goes on for several minutes?
Yes, I believe so.
And showing, I think we've gone forward to approximately noon in the video timer. Thank you. Excuse me. Sir, during the grand jury process, did you attend a meeting with the medical examiner in this case?
Yes.
And did you participate in interviewing her, specifically Dr. Barbara Vidal Olson?
Yes.
And did you participate in interviewing her specifically the portion of her proposed testimony where she was explaining how someone dies from strangulation?
Yes.
And would it be fair to say that at some point in time she was asked-
Objection.
Counsel, sidebar.
Sir, in that meeting with the medical examiner, did she tell you that constant pressure would need to be applied even after the person went unconscious in a strangulation in order to affect death?
Yes.
Did she tell you that it takes several minutes of continuous pressure to cause death?
[inaudible 03:02:15]... we have leading questions. If this is going to be admitted, can we not have leading questions? It's her witness.
[inaudible 03:02:20]. Ask him what she said and then-
Do you recall. Sorry.
Go ahead.
Do you recall what she said about the time it takes to strangle someone to death?
After unconsciousness, I think she said several minutes. It would take several more minutes for someone to die.
And would that be several more minutes of strangulation?
Yes.
I have no further questions. Thank you.
All right. Mr. Reddington.
So, she asked you about the pills that were located in the master bedroom by Patrick when I was with him, right?
Yes.
And you know that Patrick indicated that after you guys had cleared the scene, finished with your investigation, seized all the pill bottles that you were able to locate, that I went in the house with him and I took a number of items, photographs, albums, things on the wall and stuff like that, right?
All I know is the pill bottles. I don't know what else you took.
Oh, just the pill bottles. And at some point, I imagine the DA must have shown you this. Recognize this as being the nightstand drug?
It looks similar to the one that was in the video.
Did you see it? Did you look at it?
It looks similar to the one... I've never seen that. I don't know...
Okay. So these would be the [inaudible 03:03:37] that were in there, right?
I don't know.
You don't know? And do you know that when these were seized, the first thing that was done is I contacted the DA's office and said that I had them?
I don't know what you said to them.
If you want to come by my office and pick up anything they had, you're welcome to look at it, seize it, have it analyzed and send it to a crime lab. I didn't care.
I don't know what you said.
That's all I have. Thank you.
All right. Any redirect?
No, your Honor.
All right. Thank you, sir. Thank you, [inaudible 03:04:08]. Thank you. All right. And counsel, could I see you? The jury, I told you we might break a little bit early today and finally, again, I was right. And so, we're going to recess on this matter for you at this point. So I'm going to excuse you Monday morning. All right? So you don't have to come in here tomorrow. So, I'm going to suggest that, take these next couple of days, rest up. I know it's been a long couple of weeks for you. I appreciate all the work that you've done. I'm going to really remind you of those instructions because now, we've got a longer stretch that you're going to be at home, you're going to be talking to people. So, I just want to remind you, do not talk about this case with anyone. Don't do any research about this case or similar cases. If you have any questions, don't do any research. Don't try and educate yourself on any of the issues or facts that you've heard so far in this case. Don't make any little road trips to go by any places or try and fill in any gaps. The other thing I want to remind you, you have to still keep an open mind. All right? It was probably easy to nod and say yes when I said that at the very beginning of the case, but now you've heard a lot of evidence, but you haven't heard all the evidence. All right? You haven't heard the closing arguments of the attorneys. You haven't heard the law that you do apply. So I'm just reminded you have to do that. It's so important. And so I just kind of wanted to remind you on that. I want to thank you so much for, so far, all the work that you've done and all the work that you're going to do. And so I hope you have a very nice weekend and we will see you on Monday. Just in case you're wondering, we are still well on track, but we'll see you on Monday. We'll continue with the trial at that point. And again, have a nice weekend. All right. Thank you.
The court, all rise. The jury, [inaudible 03:07:45]. This way, please.
All right. SI want to see counsel again over at the sidebar. We're going to address the Commonwealth's motion regarding trial court security logs.
Thank you.
Counsel?
Your Honor, the Commonwealth is asking the court to allow the Commonwealth and the defense to have copies of a log that we were advised that, or we've seen, that the trial court security has for people who go back into the lockup area to visit with or tend to or what have you, with the defendant during the course of this trial. Both myself and ADA Sprague have witnessed at several points. Obviously, we know there are medical staff that go back with the defendant, but in addition to medical staff, which are not really the primary thrust of this motion, it's that there have been other individuals that are not counsel that are permitted to go back there. And we're not alleging that that's inappropriate in any way, shape or form. Clearly, the staff here, the security staff has followed all appropriate protocols. But we are aware that Dr. Zeizel has been back there. We witnessed a priest being allowed back there the other day. And we are advised that these visitors are kept as a log when they come, when they exit, what days, what times. And the Commonwealth is alleging that that's information that might be necessary for us to effectively cross-examine some of the defense witnesses that are going to be presented. Certainly, with Dr. Zeizel, it could pose as a potential bias that he's there, that he's back there. He's being presented as an expert witness on the concept of criminal responsibility. And there are certain ethical rules that forensic psychiatrists and psychologists follow that he might be subject to cross-examination about. And this and the nature of his relationship with the defendant could be an area for cross-examination. Because these court records, I would suggest, are not in the care, custody and control of the Commonwealth, procedurally, we have filed the motion as a rule 17 motion asking for access to the records just for this defendant during the course of the trial.
You're not looking for the name of the priest who went back there, are you?
[inaudible 03:11:05].
Oh, my God... I'm just trying to figure out what the scope of this is. I understand the request for Dr. Zeizel's amount of visits because he's slated to possibly be a witness. So, I understand how that might be relevant.
Right.
The priest, I'm struggling with.
Well, at this point, Your Honor, we haven't been furnished with exactly who defense is going to be calling as witnesses in their case. We have an idea from a witness list that was filed that keeps evolving as the trial progresses. So we don't know, for instance, if that person for some reason, has a relationship to the defendant and he wishes to call him for some reason. So with the exception of, again, the nurses, we don't necessarily need their information. We know the purpose for why they're there and that they don't have a role in this case. But anyone else who has been permitted back there that is outside the medical staff, I would suggest the Commonwealth is entitled to at least know. And whether we are able to use that information, if it becomes more apparent when the defense was underway with their case, that would come to... We'd have to wait and see if that's the case. But certainly, the fact that counsel has announced Dr. Zeizel as a testifying witness, that's information we believe we're entitled to.
All right. Mr. Reddington?
So, first of all, here's the list. They want the list. We don't need a rule 17 and a court order. They can just go over from there to there and get the list and see who's been going in and out to see Lindsay. I don't have a problem with that by no means whatsoever. Father Bob is a Roman Catholic priest who baptized these kids, who is very, very close to Lindsay. Not in a religious sense. They just like each other. She went to mass sporadically. She's not a devout Catholic. She's a Catholic. She has a relationship with the father... I haven't even talked to the guy since last week. First time I ever met him. Shook his hand. Nice, nice man. After that debacle yesterday that we went through with the public-
Let's stay focused on-
I am staying focused. This is what I'm dealing with.
I guess I'll tell you right now, so I can save you. I'm not ordering the name or address of anyone other than Dr. Zeizel.
Can I call him as a witness right now? [inaudible 03:13:57] his involvement is with going to the back?
No, no. I'm going to allow that so the Commonwealth can take a look at that record. Nobody else though. And then at some point if the doctor is called, if we have to address that, we can address it. So I'm going to allow the Commonwealth to have the information regarding Dr. Zeizel. And that's it though. Anyone else who went back there has been admitted pursuant to the appropriate rules of the security department in this case. Especially, I'm not ordering the name, address or frequency of this Roman Catholic priest. I'm just not going to do it, based on the record that I have now. If for some reason, he's called as a witness, which I haven't seen that, I haven't seen an expectation even regards to that. If that comes up, then the Commonwealth can renew this and I may reevaluate. But right now, the Commonwealth's motion regarding security logs is allowed as to Dr. Paul Zeizel only. All right? Anything else we need to address before Monday? Commonwealth?
No, your Honor.
All right, Mr. Reddington?
No, thank you.
All right. So we'll see everybody on Monday. Thank you.
