Charlie Kay Ely, now 19, went to meet the tragic teen after his ex-girlfriend Amber Wright had texted him telling him she wanted to get back together.
But after the dastardly duo got back to Ely's Ocala, FL, home, prosecutors say he was set upon by a vicious gang of teens and beaten with an axe.
Prosecutor's claim that Wright's boyfriend Michael Bargo, 19, then shot the 15-year-old, Jackson eight times, before they placed his battered body into a sleeping bag and burned him to cinders.
Jackson's mom told Ely before she was sentenced: "Some say your life is over. (But) You will still see and talk to your family. You will still get letters and birthday cards. You will still laugh and cry."
"I have no sympathy for the tears you shed. They have not been for Seath, but rather for what's happened to you. You could have been a hero and saved many lives."
After Jackson's statements the 19-year-old Ely was sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison in addition to a $5,000 fine, the Ocala Star Banner reported.
The others charged with first degree murder in connection to the killing are Michael Bargo, 19, Justin Soto, 20, Kyle Hooper, 17 and Amber Wright, 15, who are all still awaiting trial.
According to the Star Banner, prosecutors have said that they will seek the death penalty against Bargo, who is alleged to have been the mastermind of the murder plot.
