The lawyer representing Aiden Fucci, the teen accused of killing Tristyn Bailey, filed a motion Wednesday morning asking for a continuance of his murder trial and saying she is appealing the judge’s order for a six-member jury to the Fifth District Court of Appeal.

The motion for continuance of the jury trial was filed Wednesday morning — just hours prior to
what was set to be Fucci’s final court hearing before the trial, which was scheduled to begin Monday.
It centers around
the judge’s decision last month to grant the state’s motion for a six-member jury and reject Fucci’s defense attorney’s motion for a 12-member jury.
In the motion for continuance, Rosemarie Peoples, Fucci’s lawyer states the Fifth DCA has requested a response from the attorney general in 20 days, with a deadline of Feb. 20, and allowed an additional 10 days for the defendant to file a reply, according to the motion for continuance.
