Overview
- District Attorney Paul Tucker said his office reviewed surveillance video and phone records and found no good‑faith basis to charge the ex-partner seen entering Kelsey Fitzsimmons’s home.
- Prosecutors said calls made to North Andover police seeking accompaniment before and during the entry supported handling the dispute in Probate and Family Court.
- Defense filings and video released to media allege the former fiancé forced the door on July 3, 2025 and removed items including a laptop, passport, iPad and a handwritten letter.
- A judge on Friday eased Fitzsimmons’s pretrial terms by cutting required notice to probation for visits to two hours and allowing her to drive herself.
- Fitzsimmons has pleaded not guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon tied to the June 2025 confrontation; her trial is set for March 23 as defense motions, including claims of preferential treatment for the shooting officer and a bid to recuse the judge, remain in play.
