Kelsey Fitzsimmons Trial: She Testified, Both Sides Rested, and a Verdict Could Come Any Time

Kelsey Fitzsimmons Trial: She Testified, Both Sides Rested, and a Verdict Could Come Any Time

The Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial reached its most significant moment when Fitzsimmons herself took the stand and testified in her own defense. The former North Andover police officer — charged with assault with a dangerous weapon after a colleague shot her while serving a restraining order — told the court she never pointed her weapon at anyone but herself. That she was in crisis. That she grabbed the gun and raised it to her own head. That she pulled the trigger twice. That in the ambulance afterward she kept saying she was an idiot for trying to kill herself with an unloaded gun, and kept removing her oxygen mask because she still wanted to die.

The prosecution's cross-examination was pointed: as a trained officer, she agreed that a person in mental health crisis with guns present is a danger to everyone in the house. A judge weighing intent will weigh that answer.

The defense also called Noonan's neighbor, who testified under oath that Noonan called Fitzsimmons a "f---ing whackjob" in a conversation where she questioned why no social worker was present. Fitzsimmons's mother testified she heard the shots from downstairs and never heard her daughter say anything.

Both sides rested. The site visit the defense had fought to secure was cancelled without explanation after Fitzsimmons completed her testimony. Closing arguments are next, with a verdict potentially arriving the same day.

This episode covers all of it — and asks the question sitting underneath the legal proceedings that no verdict will resolve: at least one officer walked into that house knowing Fitzsimmons had been involuntarily committed for postpartum depression, and there was still no mental health professional anywhere in that response. Not because of negligence. Because the system was never designed to put one there. That failure happened before anyone knocked on the door — and it put everyone inside in danger.

A verdict is coming. The larger question isn't.
