Fucci, 15, is being charged as an adult in Tristyn’s murder, which happened in May 2021.
On July 13, Fucci’s defense also filed a notice that Fucci intends to exercise his constitutional rights, which include the right to remain silent and the right to counsel.

In June, Fucci’s defense filed four motions; a motion to prohibit outbursts; a motion asking the judge to bar cameras from live streaming during jury selection; another seeks to omit Tristyn’s autopsy photos from being shown to the jury; and the last one is to keep the indictment, which details the alleged attack, from the jury.
Fucci’s next court date is set for August 31.
