Delphi Isn’t Done Yet: Inside the Appeal Process

In this episode, we’re taking a step back into the legal side of the Delphi Murders — specifically, the appeal.
Now, I’ll be honest with you… this part of the process can get confusing fast. Appeals aren’t about re-trying the case or introducing new evidence. They’re about one question: did something go wrong during the trial that could have affected the outcome?
We’re going to walk through the key arguments being raised, how the state has responded, and what all of this actually means moving forward.
Because not everything filed in an appeal is as impactful as it sounds.
And not every argument leads to a new trial.
So if you’ve been trying to follow along and found yourself getting lost in legal language — this episode is for you.
We’re breaking it down in plain terms, focusing on what matters, and leaving out what doesn’t.

The Trial of Kelsey Fitzsimmons - Closings and Verdict

In this episode of CaseXCase, we break down the closing arguments and verdict in the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial, a bench trial out of North Andover, Massachusetts, where a police officer was accused of assaulting fellow officers during the service of a 209A protection order.
After hearing testimony from both sides — including Kelsey Fitzsimmons herself — the judge delivered a verdict of not guilty.
In this episode, we walk through:
• The key points made during closing arguments by both the prosecution and the defense• How the judge likely evaluated the conflicting testimony and lack of physical evidence• The role Kelsey Fitzsimmons’ testimony played in the outcome• Why this case ultimately came down to what happened in just a few seconds inside the home• What this verdict means moving forward
With no jury and no body camera footage, this case relied heavily on credibility, intent, and reasonable doubt — and in the end, the court found that the state did not meet its burden.
🎧 This concludes our daily coverage of the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial on CaseXCase.

What if it happened today: Columbine Shooting Part 3

In this three-part series, we’re taking a deeper look into one of the most pivotal cases in modern true crime history — Columbine.
In the first episode, we broke down what happened on April 20, 1999 — the timeline, the warning signs, and the missed opportunities.
But this case doesn’t stop there.
In our second episode, we shifted our focus to what came after.
We examined the aftermath — the investigations, the questions that surfaced, and the information that began to reshape how we understand what happened. We’ll talk about what was uncovered, what was overlooked, and how Columbine became a blueprint for so many cases that followed.
Because Columbine didn’t just change the lives of those directly involved.
It changed everything.
And as we move forward, we start asking the harder questions — the ones that still don’t have clear answers.

The Trial of Kelsey Fitzsimmons: Day 3 Kelsey Testifies

In this episode of CaseXCase, we break down Day 3 of the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial, a bench trial out of North Andover, Massachusetts, where a police officer is accused of assaulting fellow officers during the service of a 209A protection order.
With no jury and no body camera footage, this case continues to hinge on testimony, credibility, and what happened during a matter of seconds inside the home.
On Day 3, Kelsey Fitzsimmons took the stand, providing her account of the events for the first time and addressing the critical moments leading up to the shooting.
In this episode, we walk through:
• Kelsey Fitzsimmons’ testimony that her intent was to harm herself, not officers• Her admission that she lied about the location of the firearms and why• Her description of raising the gun toward her head and never pointing it at officers• Statements she made after being shot and how they support the defense theory• Testimony that she did not expect Justin Aylaian to be present in the home• The emotional context surrounding the loss of her child, home, and even her dog• Observations about the cross-examination and what was — and was not — addressed• Why her testimony may be the most critical piece of evidence in the entire case
With both sides now resting, the case is moving toward closing arguments, where each side will present their final interpretation of the evidence.
🎧 CaseXCase will continue covering this trial with daily recaps, breaking down testimony, evidence, and legal strategy as it unfolds in court.

The Trial of Kelsey Fitzsimmons: Day 2 Recap

In this episode of CaseXCase, we break down Day 2 of the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial, a bench trial out of North Andover, Massachusetts, where a police officer is accused of assaulting fellow officers during the service of a 209A protection order.
With no jury and no body camera footage, this case continues to hinge on testimony, credibility, and what happened during a matter of seconds inside the home.
On Day 2, the court heard the cross-examination of Officer Noonan, the officer who fired the shot, along with testimony from additional witnesses that helped build out the timeline — even if some of it did not significantly move the case forward.
In this episode, we walk through:
• Key moments from the cross-examination of Officer Noonan, including questions about distance, training, and prior statements• Testimony revealing Noonan had referred to Kelsey Fitzsimmons as a “whack job”• Details about Noonan’s prior working relationship with Kelsey and how that was brought out by the defense• Testimony from additional witnesses, including a friend of Kelsey’s and their involvement leading up to the restraining order• Repeated references to Kelsey parking down the street — and why that detail may or may not matter• The role of the firearms expert and foundational testimony presented by the state• Observations about which witnesses advanced the case — and which did not
Day 2 may not have been the most dramatic day in court, but it continued to build the record and brought important credibility issues into focus.
With the state indicating they may call one final witness before resting, this case may be moving toward the defense’s case — and potentially closing arguments later this week.
🎧 CaseXCase will continue covering this trial with daily recaps, breaking down testimony, evidence, and legal strategy as it unfolds in court.

The Trial of Kelsey Fitzsimmons: Day 1 Recap

In this episode of CaseXCase, we break down Day 1 of the Kelsey Fitzsimmons trial, a bench trial out of North Andover, Massachusetts, where a police officer is accused of assaulting fellow officers during the service of a 209A protection order.
With no jury and no body camera footage, this case is already shaping up to hinge on testimony, credibility, and what happened during a matter of seconds inside the home.
On Day 1, the court heard opening statements from both sides, along with testimony from multiple officers and key witnesses, including Justin Aylaian, whose testimony raised several important questions.
In this episode, we walk through:
