![This prosecutor should be ashamed of himself for promoting such a fundamental mischaracterization of a defense attorney’s duties. Yesterday, in his closing argument in the trial of #EdrickFaust, elected district attorney Kalki Yalamanchili boldly stated that the defendant’s lawyer, Ahmad Crews, has the duty of “[making] sure, regardless of what the evidence is, that he does everything he possibly can to walk Mr. Faust out that door - even though he murdered Tara Baker.” This was (correctly) objected to immediately by Mr. Crews, but what Judge Lisa Lott did to remedy the statement remains unclear. Let me make this clear: defense lawyers are only under obligation to the Constitution. They are not intended to indiscriminately fight for the outcome of a client. They are, just as any other attorney, prohibited from fabricating evidence or information to mislead the court or a jury. Their job is to ensure the prosecution lawfully, and following rules of due process, proves its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Part of their job is to call into question the strength of the evidence against their clients, but not through stooping to the level of deception. The zealous defense of a client cannot be equated with immoral advocacy. It does not mean excusing crime, ignoring facts, or endorsing violence. Undermining and demonizing that role by portraying counsel as morally corrupt for doing his job pressures jurors to effectively punish defendants for the stigma associated with having defense counsel. If there are mistakes, prejudices, conflicts of interest, or any other reason to lose faith in an investigation, a defense attorney’s job is to bring it to the surface and hold the government to account rather than allow a defendant to be steamrolled into a wrongful conviction. Mr. Yalamanchili’s suggestion that defense counsel exists to defeat justice “regardless of the evidence” is an attack on the very elements of the justice he purportedly believes in…but he knows this already. #FreeEdrickFaust #JusticeforTaraBaker #Georgia](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2022772360667967536/amplify_video_thumb/2022772301993840640/img/zHnndWMexQU0OrBz.jpg)

CORRUPT! 🚨 The Commonwealth, according to Bradyl, told Martha Coakley that that they did not intend to ask for Kelsey to serve more time in jail had she been convicted. If they TRULY believed that she had fired at a police officer, do you think they would have been content enough to only ask for time served & maybe probation as a sentence? This gives me the impression that the entire prosecutorial pursuit, the tax dollars, Kelsey’s pretrial detention, etc. was disingenuous and politically driven. What a waste! From tonight’s interview on Aidan Kearney with Kelsey Fitzsimmons and Attorney Tim Bradyl. 💜🦋💜 #JusticeForKelseyFitzsimmons

There it is. 🥹 Case closed for #KarenRead today. Jackson finally put a picture in front of Officer Barros and asked if the tail light looked like THAT when they took possession of it. His answer: “Absolutely not.” Thank you, Barros, for your honesty! #FreeKarenRead #KarenReadTrial

There is already SO much to dissect in Kelsey Fitzsimmons’ very first media interview with Aidan Kearney happening now, but the first thing I want to mention is this: the DA’s office reportedly didn’t turn over Lt. Daley’s report until AFTER he had finished testifying! What is going on in Massachusetts when it comes to discovery?! 🤯 Stop what you’re doing to watch the rest of this interview! 👏🏼 #JusticeForKelseyFitzsimmons #JusticeForKelsey 💜🦋💜

![You might have heard me mention in previous fundraisers for #KelseyFitzsimmons that I had questions about Officer Noonan’s position with his employment, stemming primarily from local news reports of him being on and off active duty. Today, we received some answers via the defense’s motion: “After shooting his colleague, [Noonan] was immediately placed on ‘Critical Incident Leave’ from June 30 through August 27, 2025. Upon returning to work, Officer Noonan resumed full-time duties… On or about January 11, 2026, Officer Noonan failed to report for his scheduled shift and was deemed AWOL. Officers responded to his residence for a well-being check after phone calls went unanswered. Officer Noonan eventually answered the door and stated he had taken Flexeril [a muscle relaxer often used for short-term management of pain] and did not wake up for work. Despite this he received only a written reprimand. He was placed back on Critical Incident Leave effective January 17, 2026. *He has continued to be permitted to work paid detail assignments while on leave.* To defense counsel's knowledge, working paid details while on such leave is highly uncommon, if not unprecedented. In fact, the North Andover Police Department's Collective Bargaining Agreement states ‘A Patrol Officer on limited/light duty shall not be eligible for details or overtime…’ The continuation of paid employment benefits following an AWOL incident raises serious questions regarding preferential treatment and whether employment protections are tied, directly or indirectly, to Officer Noonan's role in this prosecution.” Not only is there NO question that Noonan is benefiting from some sort of favoritism, but it also is clear that the police force is turning a blind eye to continued behavioral issues since June 30, which may even include drug abuse, from what we have seen today. The district attorney’s office and the North Andover PD have a LOT of explaining to do if they have any hope of maintaining public trust. I’ll share thoughts on the actions of Justin (and the inaction of the DA) once I digest things a little more. 💜🦋💜 #FreeKelseyFitzsimmons #JusticeForKelsey #Massachusetts](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2027121608393978158/amplify_video_thumb/2027121472020295681/img/lCgd24bkaF_9lnHe.jpg)

Ahmad Crews: “Not here, not now — not on OUR watch… You folks are the LAST LINE of defense between an innocent man and a system that has tried to break him.” 🇺🇸 Bias has no place in a criminal investigation! Free Edrick Faust! #EdrickFaust #TaraBaker #Georgia
