Aiden Fucci was arrested for stabbing Tristyn Bailey multiple times. He is currently in jail as he waits for his trial.
A 15-year-old, Aiden Fucci, is facing a first-degree murder charge for stabbing 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey in March 2021. According to her autopsy report, the victim died on the scene as she was stabbed around 114 times.
Fucci, who was 14 at the time, was the last person Bailey was with. The two were caught on the street on CCTV footage just hours before the incident. Before the tragedy, he had informed his friends that he would kill someone in the next 30 days.
The 14-year-old was tried as an adult and charged with first-degree murder. His mother was also charged with evidence tampering.
Dateline: Is Aiden Fucci Still In Jail After Sentencing?
Aiden Fucci is still in jail despite pleading not guilty in June 2021.
Fucci was arrested on May 10 and was held at the Department of Juvenile Justice facility in Daytona Beach. He was later transported to St. Johns County by the Sheriff’s Office for his first appearance on an upgraded first-degree murder charge.
Moreover, his trial hearing was scheduled for August 5. During the hearing, the 15-year-old asked to move up his trial date. The circuit judge didn’t pass up any decision regarding the topic. The next pre-trial hearing is scheduled for August 19.
St. Johns County Courthouse’s Circuit Judge Lee Smith will probably move the trial date to early 2023 as requested by the suspect.
However, the trial is currently scheduled to start on November 7. Still, Public Defender Rosemarie Peoples, representing Fucci, told Smith that at least 47 more witnesses must be interviewed and that she is also working on another felony case in nearby Putnam County.
