ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — Aiden Fucci entered a plea of guilty in the 2021 killing of St. Johns County 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey on Tuesday morning.>>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<<Fucci will appear in court again on Feb. 23 for a status hearing and Smith said a sentencing date will be chosen then.On Wednesday, Fucci’s defense team filed a motion Wednesday morning requesting the trial be pushed back. Smith denied that motion.
Last month, Action News Jax told you when Smith agreed with the state’s motion for a 6-person jury. Prosecutors argued there is no constitutional right to a 12-person jury. That’s because Fucci is a minor and can’t receive the death penalty. Fucci is accused of killing Tristyn on Mother’s Day in 2021. Investigators said he stabbed Tristyn more than 100 times in Durbin Crossing, less than a half-mile from Fucci’s house in the neighborhood where they both lived.
