When I arrived, it was just a house. There was a gate open on the left side of the house.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:43)
I'll show you a few exhibits that have already been marked. Exhibit 32
And exhibit 33 Is this the house you responded to?

**Stephen Hall** (1:58)

It is.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:23)
First officer on scene.

**Stephen Hall** (2:25)
I arrived simultaneously with Officer Josephine.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:29)

**Stephen Hall** (2:38)
We both went to the backyard as we were dispatched to.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:42)
And you said you went to the left, correct?

**Stephen Hall** (2:45)
Yes. We heard a male voice calling for us on the left side.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:50)
And that's where you headed?

**Stephen Hall** (2:51)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:52)
And did you encounter a male in the backyard?

**Stephen Hall** (2:55)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:56)
And did you later learn his name was Patrick Clancy?

**Stephen Hall** (2:58)
I did.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:59)
What was his demeanor?

**Stephen Hall** (3:01)
He was upset. He didn't know what was going on.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:06)
And did you see anyone else in the backyard?

**Stephen Hall** (3:08)
No.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:09)
Did you see anyone on the ground?

**Stephen Hall** (3:11)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:12)
And who was on the ground?

**Stephen Hall** (3:13)
Ms. Clancy.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:15)
Is that Lindsay Clancy?

**Stephen Hall** (3:16)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:16)
And do you see her in the courtroom today? I do. Could you point to her?

**Kevin Reddington** (3:19)
I have no issue with ID, Your Honor.

**Stephen Hall** (3:20)
The record may reflect. The witness says they identified the defendant.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:25)
Thank you. Where was she positioned?

**Stephen Hall** (3:28)
She was on the ground, if you were looking at the backyard on the right side.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:46)
Showing you what's been previously marked as exhibit 38 Is this the back of the house?

**Stephen Hall** (3:54)
It is.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:55)
And showing you what's been marked as exhibit 37 Do you see the area where the defendant was when you entered the backyard?

**Stephen Hall** (4:04)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:05)
I'm standing up with court permission and just pointing that out to the drivers.

**Stephen Hall** (4:11)
It's in this area.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:12)
If the record could reflect, he's pointing near the window well to the far right side of the back of the house.

**Brian Josephine** (4:19)
Record may reflect that.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:22)
When you saw her in that location, do you remember where her head was?

**Stephen Hall** (4:30)
Her head was towards the house.
