Dunton also referred to testimony of the force it must have taken to cause the amount of wounds, and penetrate her head and skull. Six of the wounds were fatal, according to testimony. Dunton then gave statistics that show how homicides among juveniles are rare and unique. And that the outliers, incorrigible juveniles, deserve the worst punishment.She explained how the family and the community has suffered immeasurable loss — that this is a unique case that touched the community in a unique way.Dunton then referenced testimony about Fucci’s disciplinary problems in school and the comparison to similar children his age.
“But we can’t go backwards in time,” Peoples added. “We can’t undo the action. The only thing that we can do today is answer the question of a sentence.”She then spoke about what Fucci did not do after the crime. He didn’t bury the body or try to hide it. “We heard that he was neglected emotionally, that his father was physically abusive, and there is the constant movement. Every Tuesday and Thursday and every other weekend he was in a different house,” Peoples said.
