The State Attorney’s Office in St. Johns County filed a notice Thursday to transfer Aiden Fucci’s case from juvenile to adult court after a grand jury indicted him on a first-degree murder charge, according to court records. He faces a possible life sentence.
The Florida boy accused of murdering a Jacksonville-area girl earlier this month will be charged as an adult, according to court documents filed on Thursday.
A 14-year-old boy is being charged as an adult in the fatal stabbing of a 13-year-old cheerleader whose body was found in the northeast Florida woods earlier this month.
Every time that arm went back and every time that arm went down, that was premeditation, Larizza said.
Investigators said that Fucci had also told several friends that he planned to kill someone, though it wasn t clear whether Bailey was his intended target from the beginning, Larizza said.
Bailey was last seen early May 9 at the community center in the Durbin Crossing community south of Jacksonville. Bailey and Fucci attended nearby Patriot Oaks Academy, where Bailey was a cheerleader.
Bailey s parents reported her missing later that morning, and a neighbor found her body in a heavily wooded area that evening, the St. Johns County Sheriff Office said. Fucci was arrested the next day on a second-degree murder charge.
