Judge Smith denies the motions filed by the defense team of Aiden Fucci, the teen who stabbed cheerleader Tristyn Bailey 114 times to her death in Florida years ago, says Bradford.

Fucci’s defense team reportedly tried to transfer Fucci, now 16, out of the Duval County prison where he’s being detained. His lawyers claimed that Fucci has received threats in prison while he’s alone for 24 hours every day. However, the team’s request was denied because St. John’s County doesn’t have a detainment for teens. Rob Hardwick, the St. John’s County Sheriff, also claimed he didn’t want Fucci to transfer jails because the boy had apparently “lost the right” to demand where he will be locked up.

Fucci’s lawyers also made an effort to move the location of the trial despite the worry about the jury’s neutrality. They believed Fucci cannot receive a fair trial. However, Judge R. Lee Smith guaranteed that the concern will be revisited if an unbiased jury cannot be found, as reported by Bradford.
