TL;DR Summary

Aiden Fucci, a 16-year-old Florida teen, has been sentenced to life in prison for the first-degree murder of his friend and classmate, 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey. Fucci pleaded guilty last month to stabbing Bailey 114 times on Mother's Day in 2021. The case drew national attention due to the ages of the victim and perpetrator and the brutality of the killing. Fucci's sentence comes after two days of testimony, including heart-wrenching victim impact statements from Tristyn's family. Because Fucci is a juvenile, the judge can review the possibility of a lighter sentence after he serves 25 years of his life term.
