Ex-North Andover Officer Acquitted in Gun-Charge Bench Trial
TL;DR
A Massachusetts judge acquitted former North Andover police officer Kelsey Fitzsimmons of assault with a dangerous weapon after a bench trial, ruling that prosecutors’ case did not prove she pointed a gun at a responding officer during a confrontation tied to a restraining order, with her defense arguing she was experiencing postpartum depression and attempted suicide rather than harm the officers.
