Teenager Aiden Fucci admitted to first-degree murder and his twisted ‘desire to feel what it was like to kill.’
Teen killer Aiden Fucci, 16, who stabbed 13-year-old cheerleader and schoolmate Tristyn Bailey 114 times, has been sentenced to life in prison after being condemned for his twisted ‘desire to feel what it was like to kill.’
Fucci, who was 14 at the time, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder admitting to the grisly stabbing.
The gruesome stabbing took place at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet Durbin Crossing neighborhood, in St Johns, Florida in 2021.
Emotions ran high when Circuit Judge R. Lee Smith handed down the sentence – Bailey’s family unable to hold back tears in court.
As a minor, the Florida teenager is exempt from the death penalty and has a 30-day window to challenge the judge’s ruling.
His sentence will be reviewed after 25 years.
