Last month, 16-year-old Aiden Fucci pleaded guilty to murdering 13-year-old former classmate Tristyn Bailey in May 2021. Bailey, a cheerleader, was stabbed 114 times. The case made national news not only because of the brutal nature of the crime and the ages of the suspect and victim, but also because of Fucci’s reaction upon being arrested. The teen posted a selfie of himself in the back of police cruiser with a caption that read, “Hey guys has inybody [sic] seen Tristyn lately.â€Â
With the plea, Fucci faces a mandatory minimum of 40 years in prison rather than an automatic sentence of life without parole. Because Fucci is a minor, the death penalty was not an option in the case.
The judge said he will not sentence Fucci right away, as typically, many witnesses, family or friends will often read statements for the judge to consider. Fucci will most likely learn his fate on Thursday.

Why did tre invite Kristen over. He had a girl friend. Was tre aware of Aiden’s desire to kill someone. Why would tre aloud any innocent person to be around Aiden? Did he set the little girl up?
I’d like to hear his speech if Aiden got years instead of life
I wish I could give this whole team. From police to the prosecution group
God bless you Bailey family, may the Lord keep you all safe and may His presence, His comfort be felt.
That brat was raised by an ignorant mother. She needs her own conviction.
I am so pleased with the judge's decision
Tristyn Bailey father just said today he don’t want the killer picture and Tristyn Bailey picture shown together likes this! And what do you do show , exactly what Tristyn Bailey father asked not to do he said it hurts Tristyn Bailey family when you do this!
He cared more for his mother's chicken dinner than he does another human life and people wanna know how safe this person is?
Aiden needs to stay in prison for the rest of his life and never get out
I think a prison life sentence is better than death. He will have to live in a roach infested tiny cell with horrible food for the rest of his life. He won’t get to have peace with his death. He will have to suffer for many years to come.
we all know he won’t last 25 years to review his case he will be murdered before that’s a fact
I think the Judge should’ve said much more after imposing the life sentence.
Justice is served and may it be served again 25 years from now.
So sad 😢 her moms beautiful twin May this family find peace again â¤
In the Netherlands you only get maybe 10 years in prison for this crime. We need these penalties too, good for him, forever locked up! I send lots of hugs for the family of Tristyn🩷
The US prison system is full of minors that that did something horrible in the puberty, and ten years later there are as normal as everyone. The USA is the only western country that not only imprisons juveniles but keep them there for the rest of their life’s.
Instead of growing the numbers of people in prison the US society should start to ask why so heinous crimes in this so high numbers only happens in the US! There‘s something extremely wrong in this country! I don‘t know the reason… but the difference in the sheer numbers compared with Canada, Europe and Australia clearly tells us there is going something horribly wrong in the US society!
We would be significantly better off if people would stop having children out of a safe, loving, committed marriage. IMO children need TWO healthy stable committed parents who teach discipline, respect, and guid them into adulthood with morals and value. The problem starts at home.
I wish he would have symbolically sentenced him to 114 years but I think that would have been grounds for an appeal on the basis of prejudice.
He sentenced this young girl to a heinous death and he got life. Where is the justice in this verdict???
He will never get out
He's lucky I'm not her father say for a friend
The prosecution was awesome â¤
His parents should be sentenced to life too!!!
Such a sad story. The strength and dignity demonstrated by the Bailey family, is like none other. I wish them all peace, and I hope they can find happiness again. 💙
Another cold blooded heinous crime and that POS gets life…114 stab wounds and he gets to live…Not in my book, it's an eye for an eye. These taxpayers get to pay for his bed, his meals, his access to medical and dental, cable tv and whatever else they give you in prison. The parents get nothing but memories.
114 times????? Wtf
Just heartwrenching.
