"That being said, I don’t wanna mention the number of times but it is horrific. It is horrible.
“And the word accident is nowhere involved in this case."
The Sun can confirm it is now being probed by police as part of their investigation.
"I know it looks egregious with him making those statements in that car, but that is now evidence that we gather and use against him.
"So that just makes our case a better case to present to the State Attorney’s office and to present to a jury down the road saying this was his mindset."
Asked if she hopes he comes clean, she replied: "Yes I do. I have cried my eyes out.
"I looked him [Fucci] up on Facebook, but there are too many. I'm happy they made an arrest and hope they try him as an adult.
"Tristyn was a sweetheart, she loved cheerleading, I'm an emotional wreck, my husband and I didn't sleep well last night."
Tanya White, who taught Tristyn cheerleading, described the tragedy as "completely horrendous" and "mind-blowing."
She said that she's glad Fucci has been arrested and the case is not being "dragged out" for the parents' sake.
Tanya branded Tristyn an "incredible leader, friend and role model" for fellow athletes and said she "lit up the room."
