Aiden Fucci was sentenced to life in prison on Friday for the murder of Tristyn Bailey in May 2021. He was 14 when he stabbed his classmate 114 times. The sentence comes after he pleaded guilty to murder prior to jury selection in February. "She suffered a painful, horrifying death from someone she trusted," Judge Smith said before he delivered Fucci's sentence. The judge was visibly emotional. Fucci, now 16, faced a minimum of 40 years in prison for stabbing Tristyn in their St. Johns County neighborhood on Mother's Day. Because he's a juvenile, his sentence will be up for review after 25 years. Full story: https://bit.ly/42Hh6qT SOURCE: WJAX NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? Hi!
