He appeared in court on Thursday with a new cropped hair cut and wearing a prison issued orange jumpsuit and mask.
The judge is said to have requested a late 2022 trial date, reports.
Fucci will next appear in court on February 2.
The last time Fucci was seen in court he rocked back and forth in his chair and said he wouldn't let "you demons take my soul."
He was of the hearing from St John's County Courthouse looking scared as he swayed in his chair and stared into the space above while calling into the court from Duval County jail.
The Florida teen then held the phone receiver in his hand as he stared straight ahead.

"What's going on?" he repeats twice again.
"I won't let you demons take my soul, demons take my soul away," he says in another clip as his eyes dart around the room.
The pretrial hearing was postponed after Fucci's stream suddenly cut off seconds later while the judge was still setting up. It was rescheduled for today.
Fucci is charged with murder over the brutal death of his classmate, 13-year-old Bailey.
She was found dead in woodland near Fucci's home on Mother's Day having been stabbed 114 times after her family reported her missing.
Fucci, who is being prosecuted as an adult despite his age, told cops an argument erupted between the pair as they walked back from a friend's house in the early hours of the morning.
It comes after a new video emerged showing Fucci walking with Bailey on the night she was killed.
Florida prosecutors allege that new video evidence they have shows Fucci walking with Bailey on the night of her death, and then running alone later that same night on a neighbor's surveillance footage.
FUCCI'S MOM IN COURT
Fucci's mother Crystal Smith had been due to appear in court on Thursday but did not join her son, according to reports.
Another shocking video released by the Florida State Attorney's Office last week shows what investigators allege is Smith washing blood off of her son's jeans.
She allegedly washed the trousers while her son was being interviewed by deputies.
After the jeans and a drain in his home tested positive for blood, Smith was charged with evidence tampering in connection with Bailey's death.
