Retrial for Seath Jackson murder suspect set for December

Amber Wright to get a new trial.

OCALA, Fla. — The retrial for a central Florida teenager convicted in the killing of a 15-year-old boy will begin in December.

Amber Wright, 18, is one of five people arrested in the murder of Seath Jackson in 2011.

Prosecutors said Wright lured Jackson into a home where four others killed him, burned his body, stuffed the remains in paint pockets, and dumped them in a rock quarry.

She received a new trial after an appeals court found her rights had been violated when her confession was used at trial.

Michael Bargo, 18, received the death penalty in the case.
