Florida Department of Corrections

Aiden Fucci, 16, is now in Florida Department of Corrections after being sentenced to life in prison on Friday.

Fucci was sentenced after pleading guilty to stabbing and killing his 13-year-old female classmate Tristyn Bailey in 2021.

Fucci -- who was 14 at the time -- admitted to brutally stabbing Bailey more than 100 times in the woods at the end of a cul-de-sac in the quiet Durbin Crossing neighborhood.

He has been booked in the Suwannee Correctional Institution for males.

Because of Fucci’s status as a juvenile, he was not eligible for the death penalty. He will be eligible for a review in 25 years.

..."At Friday's sentencing, the judge noted that while Fucci showed some potential for rehabilitation, the crime was "extraordinary."

"His behavior was so unusual compared to individuals his age that there is a poor prognosis for rehabilitation," he said.

He called the case the "most difficult and shocking case" that St. Johns County had encountered. Smith added that the crime was especially troubling because it had "no motive."

"This was not done out of greed, it was not done in retaliation, retribution, or revenge, it was not a crime of passion, it was not a crime that was committed because he felt rejected by her. It was not done in a fit of uncontrollable anger. There was no reason. There was no purpose," he went on. "It was done for no other reason than to satisfy this defendant's internal desire to feel what it was like to kill someone."
