People In Court

Something you may have missed from the @LawyerYouKnow interview with @BostonDefender & @bobalessi if you weren’t watching the screen. You’re welcome. ❤️ #KarenRead

That makes sense that they can’t do any of those things because reversing rulings and changing outcomes of anything would be way beyond their scope. I don’t care if they change her rulings in regards to Kelsey because they’re now moot. But here is what they can do. Fingers crossed she gets the worst of it.

@TheCarolErskine @PeopleInCourt Kinda sounds like a toothless tiger though...

So you’re telling me there’s a chance Judge McCarthy may have to answer for what she did? I’ll take it. I really hope you’re able to continue to drop in on trial coverage in the future. Your insight is so valuable and we appreciate it more than you know.

@TheCarolErskine That’s good to know. I just assumed that those complaints just go into a black hole of nothing.

@PeopleInCourt Attorney Bradl in an interview tonight said he filed a formal complaint so the JCC will investigate. This a judge's worst nightmare.

@auntiedebbb I didn’t think I could like or respect her any more than I did yesterday, but I was wrong. I’m so impressed with Kelsey Fitzsimmons. 💜

She’s got that thing you can’t learn. You either got it or you don’t.

@TheCarolErskine @lauriemullenesq @solomonradner Are you saying that she just gets away with the misconduct involving the probation officer? Please tell me that mooting the recusal motion isn’t the end of the road for Judge McCarthy-Neyman. What she did was deliberate and knowing. She shouldn’t get to hide behind m immunity.

@lauriemullenesq @solomonradner There's a reason the court made sure the recusal motion was mooted. The allegations are shocking. I spoke at length about this on 2 recent podcasts.

I’m getting asked what 1983 lawsuit exists: #KelseyFitzsimmons claimed she pointed the gun at herself, while Noonan testified she aimed at him. Noonan’s shooting would be protected by qualified immunity. But the prosecution was solely based on Noonan’s claim that she aimed at him, which she disputes. She could sue him under 1983 for the prosecution (and for 103 days in jail!)

@lauriemullenesq @LorenKatie @MazzaMedia @KYMaverick1 @monk_understudy @BigWi111977 @JusticeServedTV Thank you for everything you’re doing for her and for keeping us posted. 💜

💜💜💜💜💜 With the criminal charges behind her, it’s time to shift focus to the family court case to reunite Kelsey with her baby. Kelsey has the following court dates, all scheduled in Salem: 💜4/14/26: Hearing on the 209A restraining order 💜4/23/26: Motion For Further Temporary Orders 💜5/1/26: Pretrial Conference The 4/14 hearing will be the first time Kelsey has an opportunity to address the ex parte allegations in the original affidavit filed by JA on June 30th. My understanding is that @BradlLawPC is handling that case. Here is a copy of the motion for further Temporary Orders filed by Attorney Hess which is now scheduled for 4/23: dropbox.com/scl/fi/7s0ovr5… #justiceforKelseyandcaidyn

@DoctorTurtleboy You scared me. When you text something cryptic, it’s hard not to catastrophize. Anything can happen in Massachusetts.

Context for non sportballers

That did not just happen!

@DoctorTurtleboy You could easily hire someone for 30 or 40 bucks an hour to do all of the things and they would be so grateful for that job.

My entire weekend is me doing a million of these over and over again, realizing they’re in the wrong spot, taking them all out, realizing the directions look nothing like the actual product and none of the holes align, and finally somehow getting a screw stuck inside and Allen wrench. There is no amount of money I wouldn’t pay to have someone else do all of this for me. I also have to prepare for an interview tonight and prepare to defend myself from yet another frivolous restraining order. See you at 9.

@DoctorTurtleboy @LamarVsAllen Sweet summer child. Can someone please get this man a handler he can trust?

@LamarVsAllen Wouldn’t even know where to look for someone to assemble a vanity

@Alwaysyourmom01 @TedDanielnews @NBC10Boston I don’t know. Too many people still think they can rely on local msm to keep them informed. They are so very wrong about that. It’s scary.

@PeopleInCourt @TedDanielnews @NBC10Boston I am begging Massachusett's residents to wake up!!We are in NH, what can we do to help? I am terrified for my neighbors.

Judge Kathleen McCarthy-Neyman needs to answer for what she did in this case. An investigative report into this woman seems like a no brainer. Please tell us you’re looking into this egregious misconduct. What other local outlets need to be tagged? @TedDanielnews @NBC10Boston @SueOC_NBCBoston @boston25 @FBIBoston

@DoctorTurtleboy Just an extraordinary dad at the game with his son. 💚🤍💚🤍

Let’s go Celtics!

@BostonDefender @Nickyhaircuts @KyleSharkey8 This is why everyone loves Yannetti.

I would advise everyone to take a breath and not to rush to judgment here. None of us are inside this investigation. None of us know all the facts. I know ADA Katherine Folger well, as I worked with her in the Middlesex DA’s Office and have had cases against her since then. She is a tough prosecutor, not someone who runs away from a challenge. But she is also fair and contemplative. She will not bring a case unless she is convinced the charges are correct. She is as experienced a child-abuse prosecutor as anyone practicing today. We have seen what happens when a DA’s office jumps to conclusions and gets tunnel vision and/or succumbs to public pressure. Nobody wants that. So my advice, for what it’s worth, is to let the process play out before passing judgment.

Today, a school bus driver accused of indecent assault and battery on a 9-year-old girl was scheduled for arraignment in Woburn District Court. I've learned that Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Katharine Folger met with the child's family yesterday and informed them the charges are being dropped. Reportedly because the girl asked the driver to "make her laugh," which was interpreted as consent for physical contact. The ADA says that it was an invite. This decision feels wrong and sends a dangerous message about child safety. No child should have their boundaries dismissed like this. If you're concerned, please contact the Middlesex District Attorney's Office to respectfully share your thoughts: middlesexda.com (You can ask for the Victim Witness Advocate or submit feedback via their site.) or contact the number listed below. We need to protect kids and hold adults accountable unlike @DAMarianRyan

@melaniesgore I’m so bad at Twitter. 😆❤️

@PeopleInCourt I even @ you. Guess you didn't see it.

This is unacceptable. Do better Massachusetts.

@melaniesgore I’ve seen you in a lot of chats for awhile. You’re good people for sure. ❤️

@LorenKatie Omg eww. How gross.
