https://www.tampabay.com/news/breaking-news/2021/05/28/florida-boy-14-charged-as-an-adult-after-cheerleader-stabbed-114-times/Chilling new details have emerged about the fatal stabbing of a 13-year-old cheerleader who was found dead in a wooded area in Northeast Florida on Mothers Day.
On Thursday, State Attorney for the 7th Circuit R.J. Larizza announced during a news conference that Tristyn Bailey was stabbed 114 times while fighting off her killer. He said at least 49 of the stab wounds were to her hands, arms and head and that they were defensive in nature, according to local media reports.
We cant say what happened at this pond but we know there was a struggle, Larizza said at the news conference. To say that it was horrific could arguably be made as an understatement.
Charged in the case is 14-year-old Aiden Fucci, a schoolmate in St. Johns County. He has been in custody in a juvenile facility since his May 10 arrest on a charge of second-degree murder. Larizza announced Thursday that his charges would be upgraded to first-degree murder and that he would be charged as an adult. He faces a possible life sentence if convicted, according to The Associated Press.

for this little Bad Seed.
But, it does raise questions. Even teens who fight a lot, or get drafted into rebel armies don't go into this sort of rage. He apparently has serious problems, and they won't be dealt with.
So, we have effectively thrown him away for 50 or so years. Could this tragedy have been avoided and two lives saved if there was some earlier intervention?
What are we when we point the finger of justice and mourn the dead, but don't ask why?

I have no doubt he was raised as a sociopath, by a sociopath.

One post showed a bloody knife and some use the #FreeAiden, according to News4Jax.
Aidans classmates and friends are on Instagram posting #freeaiden and making memes about Tristyn. There are multiple social media accounts, and the St. Johns County Sheriffs office is aware of what is circulating. Here is a list of accounts to report.
