Disgraced cop Kelsey Fitzsimmons receives stunning verdict from judge in police shooting case
NY Post
Kelsey Fitzsimmons, the Massachusetts cop who was shot by a fellow officer and then charged with assaulting him, won a stunning courtroom victory Thursday when a judge acquitted her.
Judge Jeffrey Karp, rather than a jury, rendered the verdict on a single count of assault with a dangerous weapon after three days of testimony in the case against the North Andover police officer.
Outside court after, Fitzsimmons told reporters of her harrowing months since the shooting and said she “can breathe again” following the acquittal.
“I got shot. I went to jail for 103 days. I haven’t seen my son. I had to sell my home that I worked very hard for. This is my first breath of fresh air and I feel like I can breathe again,” she said.
Fitzsimmons, 29, has said she was suffering from severe postpartum depression four months after giving birth when three cop sfrom her own department showed up at her house in June 2025 to serve her with a restraining order from her fiancé removing her infant son from her care — and even taking away her dog.
