A Florida courtroom was left reeling on Friday as a 14-year-old boy was sentenced to life behind bars for the gruesome murder of his own friend and classmate.
Aiden Fucci was found guilty of first-degree murder, with Judge R. Lee Smith condemning him for the "painful, horrifying death" he inflicted upon 13-year-old cheerleader Tristyn Bailey.
The case has gripped the nation due to the young age of both the perpetrator and victim and the brutality of the crime.
