Aiden Fucci to be charged as an adult in murder of Tristyn BaileyAiden Fucci, 14, was initially arrested on Monday, May 10 and charged with second-degree murder in Tristyn’s death. State Attorney R. J. Larizza said at a news conference on Thursday that Tristyn’s encounter with Fucci started out as kids hanging out, but said it didn’t end that way. Larizza said the decision to charge Fucci as an adult stemmed from the fact that the medical examiner found that Tristyn had been stabbed 114 times.“There were defensive wounds on this young lady and she was fighting for her life,” Larizza said. He mentioned that 49 of Tristyn’s wounds were found on her hands, arm and head.
