JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) — Aiden Fucci, the teenager who murdered 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey in 2021, was sentenced to life in prison Friday morning.
Fucci pleaded guilty to murdering Tristyn Bailey, who was stabbed 114 times, last February. For the past 3 days, testimonies were heard as a judge determined what sentence to give the now-16-year-old defendant.
“Tristyn Bailey was conscious, she was aware & she was doing everything she could to fend off this attack,” Circuit Judge R. Lee Smith said. “She suffered a painful, horrifying death from someone that she trusted.”
Lee said Fucci’s age did play a factor in his decision, saying it is known that the brain is not fully developed at the age of 14, which is how old Fucci was when he committed the murder.
However, the judge said Fucci was totally responsible for the murder because nobody enticed him into killing Tristyn Bailey. He also said that Tristyn’s death was highly premeditated & had no motive, which meant that the teenager did not kill her out of impulse.
Fucci stated that he was sorry 9 times in his handwritten letter as he apologized to the Bailey family, his own family & the community for taking the young girl’s life.
