ST. JOHNS, Florida – A guilty plea has been entered in the case of State of Florida vs. Aiden Sean Fucci.

On Monday, February 6, 2023, the day jury selection was set to begin, the defendant, Aiden Fucci, accompanied by his attorneys, pleaded guilty to the charge of first-degree murder. This was a straight plea to the court as no plea agreement had been met between the state and defense.

Fucci, 14 years old at the time, killed classmate Tristyn Bailey, 13, on Mother’s Day 2021. Tristyn’s body was found in a wooded area next to a retention pond. She had been stabbed 114 times, including numerous appearing to have been defensive wounds.

The next steps in the case will be in respect to the punishment phase. A sentencing hearing is expected to be schedule for the month of March or April. The next court appearance for Fucci is for the status hearing, scheduled for February 23, 2023, at 9 a.m. Fucci is facing a possible punishment of 40 years to life with a sentence review in 25 years.

Fucci made a brief statement at the end of today’s hearing, “I just want to say I plead not guilty and I’m sorry for the Bailey family and my family.” That first part I listened to many times and every time I heard “not guilty”. This is something that leaves me curious to know if I am the only one that heard those words and what the official court transcripts recorded.
