OCALA, Fla. - A convicted killer was sentenced to death row for killing a friend in a Summerfield home by cutting him up and then setting his remains on fire Tuesday.

Michael Bargo was sentenced to death row for the murder of 15-year-old Seath Jackson in 2011 for the second time, but the court re-did the sentence because the jury's decision was not unanimous the first time.

Jurors deliberated for nearly five hours before handing down the sentence.

The defense asked the jury to consider that Bargo was only 18-years-old at the time of the murder and his brain wasn't fully mature at the time.

Bargo's defense also argued that he wasn't the mastermind behind the murder.

In April 2011, Amber Wright, then 18, lured Jackson into a Summerfield home. Michael Bargo and three others killed Jackson, burned his body, stuffed the remains in paint pockets, and dumped them in a rock quarry in Ocala.

The state argued that Bargo didn't show any mental health issues when he carried out the crime.

The murder of Jackson was so gruesome that detectives said they'd never encountered anything like it before at the time.

Four other people are serving life sentences in connection to the murder: Justin Soto, Charlie Ely, Kyle Hooper and Amber Wright. An Ocala man, James Young Havens III, faces up to 30 years in prison for helping dispose of Jackson's body.
