More than a year after 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey was found brutally murdered in St. Johns County, the teen accused in the stabbing death of his schoolmate appeared in court for a pretrial hearing in the case.
-- on Mother’s Day, and the discovery of her body and the arrest of her schoolmate, Aiden Fucci, the next day rocked Northeast Florida.The now 15-year-old Fucci, who is charged with first-degree murder in Bailey’s death, appeared in court again Tuesday, ahead of his scheduled November murder trial. He has pleaded not guilty.
Fucci had a private attorney very briefly after his arrest, but he was then declared indigent, meaning he can’t afford to pay for his own lawyer so the court appointed a public defender, meaning taxpayers will pay to defend him.A new public defender took the lead in his case about a month ago and during Tuesday’s hearing, she gave an update to the judge, saying they have deposition dates set for June and July.
Smith has set the final pretrial hearing date for Oct. 26 and blocked off two weeks for Fucci’s trial: Nov. 7-18. According to court records, Fucci’s girlfriend told an investigator he would hear voices that would tell him to kill people. Investigators also said Fucci had a notebook that contained violent and Satanic drawings.“Obviously you’ve got to look at mental health and you’ve got to look at whether he is competent to stand trial,” said LaFonda Middleton, a criminal defense attorney who has represented juveniles.
