Kelsey Fitzsimmons Trial Day 1: Attorneys James Gubitose & Timothy Bradl — Opening Statements: Self-Defense or Suicide Attempt?

The Kelsey Fitzsimmons begins with opening statements from both sides.The Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial is underway in Essex Superior Court in Massachusetts. Fitzsimmons, a North Andover police officer, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon after allegedly pointing her service weapon at fellow officer Patrick Noonan during a restraining order service at her home in June 2025. Prosecutors say she raised the gun at Noonan and pulled the trigger — the gun did not fire because there was no round in the chamber. The defense maintains Fitzsimmons was in the grip of a postpartum mental health crisis and the gun was turned on herself, not on Noonan. She has waived her right to a jury, leaving her fate entirely in the hands of Judge Jeffrey Karp.True Crime Today delivers real-time trial coverage as it happens — key testimony, critical cross-examinations, and the moments that matter.
