After more than four years of waiting, the family of Jerry Lee Moore said they were pleased Tuesday to see justice finally served.

The jury took less than 10 minutes deliberating before delivering the guilty verdict against 27-year-old Zachariah Wilson, who was sentenced to life in prison on charges of capital murder in Circuit Judge Jack Meigs court following two days of proceedings.

The verdict, Moore’s oldest sister Dianne Sawyer said, is a relief to the family.

“We are so happy with the way the verdict turned out, and we are so thankful,” she said. “God was in that room with us today and with the lawyers. Everything worked out according to God’s plan.”

Wilson was arrested in May 2007 and charged with capital murder for the April 13, 2007 shooting death of Moore, 32, of Marion.

Moore’s body was discovered leaned back behind the driver’s side of his station wagon at the intersection of Minter Avenue and Kayser Street in Selma.

District Attorney Michael Jackson said he was happy for the family and pleased to know there was one less murderer on the streets.

“We hope this will bring closure to the family,” he said. “Another criminal is off the street in Dallas County for good.”

Though her brother is gone forever, Sawyer said the family is at least happy the man responsible for his death will remain behind bars for the rest of his life.

“We are so thankful that justice has been served,” he said. “We got justice today and we are very thankful. Our hearts will never be at ease, but our brother can be at rest.”

Assistant district attorneys Jimmy Thomas and Lloria James of the District Attorney’s office handled the prosecution.
