State To Seek Death Penalty In Escambia Murder
September 22, 2011
State Attorney Bill Eddins said Wednesday that the State intends to seek the death penalty against Sergio Dupree Moorer for the death of John Daniel Hall after he was indicted for first degree murder and grand theft auto.
On September 13, a grand jury returned a first degree indictment against Moorer, age 18. Hall was found on August 21 in a wooded area near the Marcus Pointe apartment complex. Last seen alive the day before, Hall had been beaten and burned beyond recognition.
Hall’s vehicle was located four days later by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office in the Oakstead Mobile Home Park on Massachusetts Avenue. Moorer was inside the vehicle and fled on foot as deputies arrived. After a short foot chase, he was taken into custody.
Moorer remains jailed without bond.

REGARDING:
“The first degree murder will not stick.”
Could be but it looks to me like if you try to force a person to drink gasoline and then set him on fire, well, it looks like it should be considered premeditated murder.
David wondering why it wouldn’t stick
unless the confession was false
The first degree murder will not stick. More to this story that will come out at the trial. Just sit back and wait.
The sad part is this idiot will seat on death row for many many years before anything happens due to appeals…..that’s what is sad about the whole issue. And we all wonder where out tax paying dollars could be spent better!
Sounds like a good plan!!!
