Alicia Andrews Cites Abuse on the Stand in Julio Foolio Murder Trial

The trial now centers on her coercion claims versus a digital forensic case from prosecutors.

Overview

  • Andrews, the first of five defendants to be tried, testified that boyfriend and co-defendant Isaiah Chance manipulated and abused her.
  • Prosecutors say she acted as a lookout and use phone records, surveillance video, license-plate readers, cell-tower data, and doorbell footage to place her at a Tampa Airbnb and near scouting locations.
  • An FDLE firearms analyst testified that cartridge cases recovered from the scene were all fired from the same Glock pistol used in the attack.
  • Under cross-examination, a Tampa detective acknowledged there are no texts, calls, or other direct messages showing Andrews knew of a murder plan, and digital lock logs contradicted an early claim about who entered the Airbnb first.
  • Investigators have pointed to a message in which Andrews allegedly wrote that Foolio “needed to die,” and she is the only co-defendant not facing the death penalty, with a potential life sentence if convicted.
