ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida judge sentenced a 16-year-old Florida boy to life in prison on Friday for fatally stabbing a 13-year-old classmate on Mother’s Day in 2021.Aiden Fucci, 16, was 14 when he stabbed Tristyn Bailey at least 114 times in the woods near where the teens lived in north Florida, prosecutors said.“This case is probably the most difficult and shocking case that this county, St. Johns County, has dealt with,” Judge Lee R.

His attorneys had sought a 40-year sentence.Before invoking the sentence, the judge spoke to Bailey’s family, noting the tremendous toll the girl’s slaying has had on them.“Allow ‘Bailey Sunday Fundays’ to return to your home,” he said, a...

BRUSSELS — As European Union leaders exit their summit Friday, the future of the cars that’ll whisk them home is still very much at play, with a seemingly imminent deal between Berlin and Brussels delayed once again.That’s because resolving a row over the EU’s plan to ban new combustion engine car sales by 2035 hangs on whether the European Commission and Germany can agree on language that will satisfy both sides. Berlin, along with several allies, has held the previously agreed legislation hostage, demanding that the Commission carve out a loophole to allow sales of some traditional combustion-engine vehicles after 2035 as long as they run on synthetic fuels, or e-fuels — which are, in theory, carbon-neutral. On Thursday evening, the German government presented the Commission with a pre-written legal declaration in which the EU executive would promise to find a legal path for allowing the sale of these vehicles past 2035. And early Friday morning, the Co...
