SUMMERFIELD, Fla. – A Florida woman – who was 15 at the time of the crime – has been found guilty of luring her ex-boyfriend to be tortured, shot and burned to death.

WESH reported that 19-year-old Amber Wright was recently found guilty of first degree murder in connection to the death of 15-year-old Seath Jackson in 2011.

Prosecutors said Wright, who was 15 at the time, used text messages to lure her ex-boyfriend to a Florida home where he was beaten and shot several times.

The victim’s bones were broken to fit into a sleeping bag and the body was burned in a fire pit. The victim’s remains were then put in paint cans and tossed into a quarry.

The crime truly shocks the conscience, all the defendants loathsome, and nary a hint of anything that could be construed as mitigation, legal or moral.

The world will be a better place without Mr. Bargo, and I hope the other defendants appreciate the depravity of their actions over next 50+ years they spend in prison until their deaths.

After reading stories like this, it's hard to muster much opposition to the death penalty, life imprisonment, or trying certain minors as adults.

8. She does look truly evil.

I'm glad she's going away for life.

3. I am opposed to the death penalty because

there have been too many wrongful convictions. However, stories like this one make me question my stance.

4. Reminds me of Laura Bush, except without the whole prison thingie

5. ?

6. When she was 17, she ran a stop sign and caused an accident, and a death

Not that she was blameless, but I can't say the OP reminds me at all of her.

7. Oh, come on.

That's hyperbole.

9. You know what this reminds me of? Bacon and unicorns...

As long as we are comparing things that aren't even remotely related.

11. How can they re trial her if her first conviction was overturned?

13. Double jeopardy doesn't apply when a conviction is overturned

When a conviction is overturned because something wasn't done right, it is basically equivalent to a mistrial. The prosecution has the option to retry the case.

The first conviction was overturned because a court found that police did not properly read her Miranda rights. So in the retrial, they removed the evidence that pertained to that. But not having it didn't change much. The 2nd jury arrived at a guilty verdict in less than 2 hours.
