15 Year Old Seath Jackson Was Killed And Dismembered~Jury Finds 16 YO Amber Wright & Kyle Hooper Guilty Of 1st Degree Murder~21 YO Trigger Man Michael Bargo Jr. Found Guilty~Gets the Death Penalty!!

September 6, 2013

The decision of whether Michael Bargo will spend the rest of his life in prison or be sentenced to death for the 2011 murder of Seath Jackson has been delayed more than a month, according to an official court announcement Friday morning.

The first step in the process, known as a Spencer hearing, had been tentatively scheduled for Wednesday. But that has now been moved back to 9 a.m. Oct. 9, according to Kristina Valdez, court operations manager.

The delay is a result of a scheduling issue, according to Assistant State Attorney Robin Arnold.

Bargo’s ultimate fate will not be decided during this hearing, but instead at a later sentencing date, according to Arnold. A sentencing date will be scheduled after Circuit Judge David Eddy hears all the evidence presented at the October hearing.
A Spencer hearing is designed for both the defense and state to present any evidence or case law that might help to prove their case for either a life or death sentence.

Bargo, 21, was found guilty on Aug. 20 for his role in the 2011 murder of 15-year-old Seath. On Aug. 27 the same jury recommended Bargo be put to death for his actions by a vote of 10-2.

The final decision will be left to the judge, but he is required to give “great weight” to the jury’s recommendation.

Bargo, along with several co-defendants who are currently in prison for life, are accused of luring Seath to a Summerfield home where prosecutors believe they shot and beat him and then burned his body, putting the remains in five-gallon paint buckets that were dumped into a rock quarry.

The man convicted of killing a Marion County teenager testified Wednesday as his attorneys fought to save his life.

Michael Bargo's attorneys tried to convince a judge he should not be put to death. A jury recommended execution after finding Bargo guilty of beating, burning and shooting Seath Jackson in 2011.

The hearing permits both sides to present evidence for either a life or death sentence.

Bargo took the stand and told the court that he doesn't want to die.

"I didn't do this. I know I didn't do this. I shouldn't get the death penalty. I shouldn't get a life sentence," he said.

Bargo didn't admit any wrongdoing, instead saying he never got a chance to prove his innocence.

"It's pretty bad a 15-year-old kid got killed. It's pretty messed up, but I didn't do this," he said.

The judge then made it clear to Bargo this is his chance to comment on what sentence he should get. His defense attorney at times had to keep him on track.

While the jury recommended the death sentence, it's up to the judge to make the final decision.
