This honestly just breaks my heart. A 13 year old beautiful, strong young lady stabbed by a selfish and disgusting monster. I cannot even fathom this. How can someone stab someone 114 times let along even take the life of somebody. My heart breaks and this monster deserves everything coming to him! R.I.P sweet girl! 💜

[@JennWatson]

Extremely moving- these kids are so well spoken and intelligent! I’m so sorry for their relentless pain! 😢

[@AN-pb5jx]

I was sobbing throughout this speech. So powerful. The impact this has made on Tristyn’s family is so enormous, I am praying for each and every one of them. Stay strong.

[@jascelectronic]

I feel such anger inside me. I feel disgusted and sickened by what he did. I have 4 sisters myself and I can't even imagine this happening to any of them, I'm so sorry for what you guys have had to go through.

[@spenyspen18]

His mother tried to wash the blood out of his clothes. That explains a lot of the problem. My mom would have been washing out my blood out of her clothes after she attacked me for doing something this horrific. Im sure I would rather be in jail than face my mom. She would not ever try to cover for me.

[@juliefisk8066]

Absolutely. I would have immediately called the police. His mother actually helping hide is crime is appalling! How does she live with herself?! I'll never understand that!

[@bloodlove93]

i agree his mother was in the wrong...but seriously? I'll never understand the whole scary mom thing, i guess my situation was reversed.

[@tltfaas]

Same here. If my kid did this and came to me I would have given him the same treatment. He wouldn't have made it to trial.

I lost my older sister suddenly so I know the feelings they are having but I can't imagine having a human to blame for her death. My heart goes out to you and I hope that at some point your family can find healing. Love and prayers for your family

[@alwaysaaugustt]

i also wish live and prayers to your family, your sister loves you so much 🫂

[@Michael_W007]

What strength you showed Alexis. That was an amazingly perfect A+ impact statement. The aqua stones that are the color of your sister's aqua urn. Brilliantly impactful. You alone just sealed a life sentence. Your sibling's statements were the exclamation points. Your parents should be extremely proud of all of you. And hopefully, once the killer is thrown in prison, you can all move forward and help each other exist. It will be impossible to fully recover, but take solace in knowing you did everything you could do for your little sister in court, assuring the judge will not be showing one ounce of mercy.

[@lisahampton4115]

Every one of her siblings broke my heart. As a mom and grandmother this is just unimaginable to even begin to grasp an inkling of what they are and have gone though. I pray and will continue to pray for this family for the rest of my days.

[@ShBu-n1t]

Coming from a broken and abusive home, the most tragic thing for me in this case is to see such a beautiful, happy and loving family ripped apart by the purely evil actions of Fucci. My heart aches so sorely for them. I hope, and I pray, that in time this will bring them closer together. I am so, so sorry... I don't have the words. Rest in peace Tristyn.

[@akt3729]

[@MusicLawChick]

Wow, I was in tears the entire 20 minutes. I understand the pain of losing a sister…but I have never articulated it in this manner, and I commend you for not going over to the defense table and trying to inflict any kind of pain upon that narcissistic sociopathic POS. I didn’t know your sister, but your words have cut me to the core and I appreciate your vulnerability. She will forever live on…

[@jenniferwong4530]

I can hardly type for the tears. This poor family has been totally broken with trauma and grief. I pray for peace and healing for all of them. Having a beloved and innocent family member murdered so violently is nothing short of horrific. I can’t imagine the depth of their grief😔🙏🏽

[@ber9313]

These kids felt this loss so deeply and expressed it so poignantly. It's heartbreaking and I don't know how we can stop children committing acts of violence for no good reason.

[@chaneykane3828]

You can tell what a close family they were and how much they value each member. It’s just not fair. There are tons of dysfunctional families and yet this family full of love is the one torn apart by tragedy.

[@Kiraiko44]

Oh my heart sank when I realized what she was doing. How awful. I lost a loved one to a similar act of violence, she was stabbed to death, and to be honest I'm glad it didn't happen these days cause it probably would have gotten more news coverage. I was 14 and I've blocked a lot of the direct aftermath out, and these days I can't remember if I was ever told how many times she was stabbed, but I'm glad I don't remember if I ever knew. I know it was a lot of times but not 114 times times. That's just so... Monstrous. I know this haunts her and the rest of her family, I know she's thought about those 114 stabs more than she wants and probably will continue to think about them more than she'd like for a long time. I hope Tristyn's family finds healing and eventually peace, mine never really did.

[@FasterFaster196]

[@gabriellar9576]

That vase at the beginning was brilliant and props to the family for putting that together in such a beautiful way to get the point across how terrible this atrocity genuinely was. The length, the horror, the endurance: Tristyn, in our home, is known for her power & strength forever & ever and we hope her dear family knows how many other families she's inspired ❤ Sending so much love to the Bailey family; you all are soldiers and powering through one of the most difficult things no family should ever go through. You're keeping so many others strong as well.

[@puggzymalone5824]

Two Families are hurting from a tragic death that took place on mother's day that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Condolences goes out to the Family of Tristyn Bailey.

[@FunknMunky77]

I'm not going to lie...she didn't even have the cup half filled and I felt tears burning my eyes. That made a huge impact. I lost my uncle when I was 10 he was 15 to murder and I watched how it destroyed my family as well. He was like my brother we grew up together did everything together and them he was just taken. My mind couldn't process it he was the first loss I'd ever experienced and when it come to death now that I'm 46 and combat veteran of Iraq I shut down and turn off my emotions and flip the switch and not matter how deep we think we buried things something always makes you remember at inconvenient times. My heart goes out to this family to the parents and the siblings. I'm sorry you javelin to feel all of these emotions that you can't put into words. I hope one day you can all find your peace again, your joy again, your smiles again, your happiness again, your faith again. I pray one day your hearts will begin to mend.
