The first defense witness of the day is Dr. Howard Kay, a pediatrician. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay says he reviewed the medical records of Erika Murray’s 3yo & 5 month old daughters, as an expert witness for this trial. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay says “we are drastically overestimating vitamin D deficiency” - the prosecution had suggested Murray’s daughters might be deficient because they never left her home and their vitamin D levels were lower @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay says both the 3yo & 5 month old girls likely had a sufficient amount of vitamin D in their systems, based on their numbers. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay is now discussing “plagiocephaly” - a flattening of a baby’s head. He says they see it “virtually every day” because of the recommendation to have infants sleep on their backs to prevent SIDS. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors
Alysha Palumbo NBC10 BostonVerified account @AlyshaNBCBoston
Dr. Kay: “in the absence of stimulation...for a couple of months” you could see the kind of muscle issues that the 5 month old had. “My understanding is it resolved certainly within 6 weeks of when she was discharged.” @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Defense attorney Keith Halpern is now going through the 3yo’s symptoms, he has suggested were due to autism. Dr. Kay agrees they are consistent with autism. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors
Alysha Palumbo NBC10 BostonVerified account @AlyshaNBCBoston
Dr. Kay agreed the 3yo’s symptoms could also be caused by neglect, a combination of autism & neglect, or autism alone. He says it’s impossible to know. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors
Alysha Palumbo NBC10 BostonVerified account @AlyshaNBCBoston
But Dr. Kay testifies the 3yo’s lack of speech, finger fanning & fixation on lights are likely autism-related. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay testifies that even if the children were exposed to, or ingested feces, the risks are not as high as other countries where diseases like Typhoid fever are more common. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay on the risks of living in Murray’s home among filth, feces: “I think realistically it would not be very great” because the children “would have normal immunity” due to their ages. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Direct questioning of Dr. Kay is done. Prosecutor Christopher Hodgens begins cross examination. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay says under cross examination he never visited Murray’s home, never talked with anyone from the Board of Health, nor anyone who lived in the Murray home. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors
Alysha Palumbo NBC10 BostonVerified account @AlyshaNBCBoston
Prosecutor: “so it would be fair to say you have no personal knowledge of the circumstances of living in the home?” Dr. Kay: “correct” @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay agrees under cross examination that the home had fly infestations, feces (which the CDC says is dangerous for infections and can cause diseases) @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay agrees with the prosecutor that “insects, such as present in the home, can spread disease.” @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay says he “absolutely” believes vaccinations are important for children - the 3yo & 5 month old girls never saw a doctor before they were discovered in Murray’s home. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors
Alysha Palumbo NBC10 BostonVerified account @AlyshaNBCBoston
Dr. Kay says “babies are typically fed within the first 3 hours of life” by nursing or bottle (formula) but they can survive for roughly 2 days on the fluid they’re born with. Then fed “roughly every 3 hours.” @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Dr. Kay says a 5 month old might also be eating food (puréed). A 3yo would eat 3 meals a day with some snacks in between. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Prosecutor: “are you aware those children were left alone in the home for 6 hours?” Dr. Kay: “I believe that that’s the case.” @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Prosecutor: “Increased extensor tone (like seen with the 5 month old) can be from a baby lying on their back with no simulation, correct?” Dr. Kay: “Yes.” @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Prosecutor says at the age of 2 months a baby should be able to push up their arms & hold up their heads. Dr. Kay says not necessarily because they aren’t encouraged to be put on their abdomen. (I think he’s forgetting “tummy time.”) @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors
Alysha Palumbo NBC10 BostonVerified account @AlyshaNBCBoston
Dr. Kay says a baby likely wouldn’t start rolling over both ways until 4.5-5.5 months. Prosecutor suggested it would occur earlier. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

After a brief sidebar, the prosecutor continues to go through typical baby milestones with Dr. Kay. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors

Prosecutor shows Dr. Kay the 3yo & 5 month old’s medical records. He reads from the records that the 3yo prefers to lay down as often as possible, would bite down on a spoon as if she’d never been spoon-fed. @NBC10Boston @NECN #Blackstone #HouseofHorrors
