OK, here we go...
Clue # 1
Whilst to different degrees, three times in this episode one officer raises the same concern.

Commodore Stocker? He thinks Starbase 10 is better equipped to handle the problem:
- STOCKER: Facilities at Starbase Ten are much more complete than those on board ship. It seems to me that your investigations would be facilitated if we proceeded there. I assure you all co-operation.
- STOCKER: If I may say so sir, we have a due date at Starbase Ten.
KIRK: We're going to be late. I don't intend to leave this area until we've found the solution for this problem.
- STOCKER: Mister Spock, may I make a statement? I have had to resort to these legal grounds in order to save the lives of some very valuable members of the Starfleet. I have tried to convince Captain Kirk of the necessity of proceeding to Starbase Ten, but I've been overruled in each case.
Ha nice choice, but afraid not!
Clue # 2 The officer in question, also carries out rare non-essential work in this episode.

Clue # 3
This episode is one of perhaps two episodes which re-use large portions of an earlier story's music the most, throughout the episode, (a third episode comes pretty close). Additionally, both episodes' music re-use is the same episode.

Clue # 4
Is this the only time we see a non-regular who is *not* a non-crewmember, in crew quarters?

Correct Henoch!
Clue # 1
Whilst to different degrees, three times in this episode one officer raises the same concern.
Interestingly, it is Scotty who seems the most insistent regarding the medicine and the Yorktown, referring to the situation no less than three times. Spock and McCoy interject, but I believe only the once.
Clue # 2 The officer in question, also carries out rare non-essential work in this episode.
A rare occasion in which general maintenance is done on the ship (albeit off screen), with Scotty cleaning out radioactive waste.
Clue # 3
This episode is one of perhaps two episodes which re-use large portions of an earlier story's music the most, throughout the episode, (a third episode comes pretty close). Additionally, both episodes' music re-use is the same episode.
I'd say this and The Immunity Syndrome come top in predominantly re-using one particular score for their respective episodes (The Deadly Years comes reasonably close). And in each case its Sol Kaplan's score for The Doomsday Machine.
Clue # 4
Is this the only time we see a non-regular who is *not* a non-crewmember, in crew quarters?
Excluding regular crewmembers and non-ship personnel, this may be the only time we visit a non-recurring crew member's quarters.
EDIT : As I type, I remember McGivers!
Anyhow, over to you Henoch!

ELAAN OF TROYIUS?
Krayton commited murder and sabotage, but it was assumed it was due to jealousy. We never know because he phasered himself.

1) The only crime that springs to mind that relates to this, is the M5 Unit, and therein Daystrom, destroying the ships. We understand M5's reasoning, but not if it was supposed to have Daystrom's engrams, which would surely include morality. There is arguably a discontinuity and ambiguity between the two.
2) Is Daystrom even charged with anything after the episode ends? I highly doubt it.

M5 committed the crime(s), not Daystrom (in my opinion); and I think M5's motive was "this unit must survive" and "murder" was the charge from Kirk as supported by dialog. No, not The Ultimate Computer.
Clue 3: The crime(s) would not have been exposed without a whistleblower (probably a fact, not an opinion.)

Mudd's Women?
1) Mudd uses drugs on the women to make them more appealing. Are the drugs illegal? Is wiving settlers illegal? Unsure. The women (appear) to come willingly. But "selling" a false product to the miners is surely a crime (as is surely the act of selling the women, whose details are never fully made clear.)
The motive?
Unsure. What could Mudd have gained? Dilithium crystals? Indeed, what was he expecting from other potential 'buyers'? Money? Credits? This was never made clear. Indeed, in the end it is Kirk and the ship that get the other end of the transaction - the crystals.
(The falsely obtaining the space craft and impersonation are crimes, but I think the motive is clear for those.)
2) We never know Mudd's exact charges, trial or even punishment. I don't think this is fully established in I, Mudd either.
3) If Mudd himself was forced into a corner before admission, who was the 'whistleblower'? It surely can't be Eve (or the other women), as she believes the fakes to be the genuine article in the penultimate scene. My guess? McCoy eventually sussed it out.

Dagger of the Mind?
1) Dr Adams and his experiments. What was his motive? Or was he simply mad?
2) Adams is dead so no charges can be given to him.
3) Probably true. Luckily, Van Gelder showed up.
4) Kirk shows great respect for Adams early on in the episode. Only later, does he begin to have doubts.

"It's such a great day for us here on Tantalus when we have visitors, no matter what the excuse."
Correct, @Methuselah Flint, and you fathomed out the clues.

Thank you, my handsome globe!

Clue # 1:
Proportions are a bit 'off' in this episode.
