On Monday, Larizza’s office said he would give an update on the case “towards the end of the week.” Here is the full statement from the State Attorney’s Office, released on Monday:

“State Attorney R.J. Larizza will conduct a press conference towards the end of the week regarding the Murder of Tristyn Bailey. We appreciate the patience and support from family, friends, neighbors and all of the folks who have been following this disturbing case. We are in the final stages of our comprehensive review of the facts, circumstances and the law. It is Mr. Larizza’s intention to address several questions/issues that surfaced as a result of this brutal homicide at that time.”

On Friday, a judge allowed Fucci’s original attorney to withdraw from the case and the teen will now be represented by the public defender’s office.

Fucci was arrested on May 10 and the State Attorney’s Office has until 21 days after his arrest to decide if he should be tried as an adult.
