Can Aiden Fucci be sentenced to death?

As a juvenile, Fucci is not eligible for the death penalty. He faces a minimum of 40 years and up to life in prison. The judge will have to weigh mitigating factors such as the circumstances of the crime, his mental capacity, upbringing and history, potential for rehabilitation and the impact on the victim’s family.

If sentenced to a life term, the judge can review the possibility of a lighter sentence after serving 25 years, according to Florida law.

During the sentencing phase, the judge can hear victim impact statements as well as from Fucci's family and expert witnesses who for instance can address the teen's mental health. Both the prosecution and defense submitted lists of about 20 potential witnesses who could be called to testify.
