Aiden Fucci is serving life in prison for stabbing 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey more than 100 times.
Crystal Smith, the mom of Aiden Fucci, was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years' probation for evidence tampering in the Tristyn Bailey case.
According to an arrest warrant from the sheriff's office, deputies interviewed the boy, with his mother present, at their residence on May 9, 2021, after Bailey had been reported missing. Video surveillance from the home showed after Fucci left with deputies, Smith went to her son's bedroom, retrieved what appeared to be a pair of jeans, took them to the bathroom, and seemed to scrub them in the sink, according to the warrant.
Pleading no contest means the defendant neither disputes nor admits to the charges, but allows the court to treat the plea as a criminal conviction. Stacy Bailey, the mother of Fucci's victim, addressed Smith in a victim impact statement during Friday's hearing. "I will also pray that you will reflect upon your actions while you are without your children on this Mother's Day," she said.
