A North Andover police officer. A newborn baby taken at four months old. A gunshot to the chest. And now — a criminal trial.

Attotneys Bob Motta and Ali Motta break down recent major pretrial filings in Commonwealth v. Kelsey Fitzsimmons (Essex Superior Court, Indictment 2577CR0311) — the most legally complex case in Massachusetts right now.

⚖️ WHAT WE'RE COVERING TONIGHT:

✅ The bail motion that was DENIED — and the expunged North Carolina record at the center of it

✅ Defense Motions in Limine — Martha Coakley and Timothy Bradl go to war over 404(b) prior acts, opinion testimony, and jury selection

✅ The Commonwealth's Motion to ban ALL mention of Kelsey's lost custody and house arrest — and why that matters

✅ Officer Noonan's 2008 armed robbery response — why the prosecution is using it NOW

✅ The Probate and Family Court custody battle happening SIMULTANEOUSLY with the criminal trial

✅ Explosive sworn allegations against the baby's father — drugs, alcohol, breaking and entering, stolen funds

✅ Voir dire questions from BOTH sides — what they reveal about each party's trial strategy

✅ NO BODY CAMERAS — what that means for this case
