Testimonies Reveal Details in Lindsay Clancy Case

Paramedic Describes Agitation

Robert Costanzo of the Pembroke Fire Department treated Lindsay Clancy after she jumped from her Duxbury home window. He described Clancy as agitated, reaching with her arms but remaining unconscious. He administered Narcan, which reverses drug overdoses, but it had no effect. During cross-examination, defense attorney Kevin Reddington pointed out the lack of Narcan’s effect and asked about Clancy’s spine fracture. Costanzo was unaware of the fracture. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague noted Costanzo did not observe significant bleeding during the ambulance ride.

First Responders Detail Children’s Injuries

Duxbury firefighter and paramedic Patrick Dwyer and paramedic Jennifer Stratton recounted the injuries observed on the Clancy children. Five-year-old Cora appeared pale. Stratton found Callan and Cora on the ground, requesting more ambulances. She carried eight-month-old Callan to their truck. Defense attorney Reddington did not cross-examine these witnesses.
