Jury selection for teen killer’s mother to begin May 15 in tampering with evidence trial

Fucci is serving a life sentence for murdering his schoolmate, 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey, in May 2021.

Smith is charged with tampering with evidence after investigators say she washed her son’s jeans, which later tested positive for blood, while the rest of the neighborhood was out searching for a missing Tristyn.Tristyn’s parents were also there, wearing the aqua color that has become a symbol of their daughter’s legacy and their fight for justice.

Prosecutors say that as investigators questioned Fucci during the search for Tristyn on Mother’s Day in 2021, video surveillance taken from inside her home showed Smith appearing to wash something in a sink. It was her son’s jeans that later tested positive for blood, according to investigators.
