Aiden Fucci: Tristyn Bailey’s alleged killer bullies and threatens co-prisoners while awaiting trial
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA: The alleged murderer of Tristyn Bailey has now been accused of extortion and threatening his fellow prisoners as he awaits trial at the Duval County Jail after being charged as an adult and facing first-degree murder charges. Aiden Fucci's reported violent behavior also resulted in chemical restraint and isolation for him.
First Coast News cited some official reports and stated that the now-16-year-old Fucci is a violent prisoner, who has bullied and scared other inmates. He also forced a prisoner to steal from the prison commissary for him. A teenager, who is also behind bars at the same jail with Fucci, reportedly shared, “Fucci been saying he gonna stab me up…He go around saying we all p**** because most of in here for shooting someone and killing them. He says he 'real' because he stabs a b**** face to face and take they life. It’s like he get high off it or something.”

The publication also noted that a January 2022 report said that the suspected killer, who stabbed his classmate Bailey 114 times, “was found to be extorting commissary from [the inmate] by using fear. They were not housed together but Fucci was able to manipulate and extort inmates by threats and intimidation. Inmate Fucci did not have a commissary receipt to explain the abundance of commissary in his cell.”
“The victims provided receipts and [words redacted] it was verified whom the commissary items rightfully belonged to. When officers entered his cell to obtain the commissary items back for the other inmates, he became highly agitated and made threats against the officer’s lives … Inmate Fucci made threats to kill our families while beating on his cell door in a loud vicious manner,” the doc mentioned.
Besides, First Coast News referred to another report from October 2022 that noted that Fucci was called “a threat to himself, property and others, and ordered that he be placed in the Restraint Safety chair,” by Sergeant Clarida. The report added that “while being placed in the Restraint Safety Chair, inmate Fucci became agitated and made the utterance "y'all some real fuck n***as.”
Meanwhile, Jacksonville criminal defense attorney Janet Johnson, who’s not working on the case, expressed her thoughts over the revelations against Fucci. She said, “It's not a violation of any 5th amendment right, it's not made to law enforcement, it wasn't made in response to questioning, it was a spontaneous statement that can absolutely be used against him. Now he could take the stand or his lawyers could argue he's in jail and trying to act tough, he might admit or say he did something he didn't really do just to make him look more dangerous because he has to survive in this very tough environment.”
“It's not a desirable place to be. It's a tough environment and he has to be tough to survive there. However, a lot of things in the document could contradict any defense that he tried to raise as a poor innocent child. That might open the door for the prosecution to say that he didn't seem meek when he was in jail,” the lawyer added.
