Man Gets Life For 2011 Burning, Beating Death
August 22, 2014
An Escambia County man was sentenced Thursday to spend the rest of his life behind bars for a 2011 murder.
Sergio Dupree Moorer was sentenced by Circuit Judge Gary Bergosh to life in state prison without possibility of parole for the murder of John Hall.
Moorer was convicted by an Escambia County Jury of first degree murder on August 11, 2014, with the jury recommending the life sentence.
Moorer beat John Hall and then poured gasoline on him and forced him to drink gasoline. Hall was then set on fire, dieing as the result of the combination of blunt force trauma and thermal burns. His body was found in a wooded area near the Marcus Pointe Apartments.

Evil, evil, evil. May God have mercy on his soul.
I think criminals like this should executed immediately not given life in prison at taxpayers expense. Jurors don’t fear doing your duty for society. I know the Bible says vengeance is God’s but it is also our responsibility to maintain order in our own society. I think we should reinstate public hangings to make an example so people think before they commit crimes God will have his vengeance with their souls.
I would think this would be enough cause for the death penalty.
THAT NO GOOD GARY …
Maybe the President will give him a pardon, before leaving office.
