USA - Florida. Judge David Eddy formally sentenced Michael Bargo to death.

Circuit Judge David Eddy formally sentenced Michael Bargo to death. Bargo, 21, becomes the youngest of 404 inmates currently on Florida's death row. A Marion County jury recommended 10 to 2 death for Bargo on August 27 (see). Bargo was convicted of 1st-degree murder in the April 17, 2011 slaying of 15-year-old Seath Jackson. Prosecutors called it a cold, calculated and premeditated murder that was prompted by a dispute over a girl. In a different trial, codefendants Amber Wright, 17; Kyle Hooper, 19; Charlie Kay Ely, 21; and Justin Soto, 22, were sent to prison for the rest of their lives. The state sought the death penalty for Bargo, the triggerman and mastermind behind the murder plot.
