Moore headed to prison for Wally World burglary
|
Daniel Wade Moore will do prison time for burglary of Wally World in Decatur.
Morgan County Circuit Judge Steve Haddock gave Moore an eight-year split sentence today, requiring him to serve two years and be on probation for five years.
Before Haddock sentenced Moore, District Attorney Scott Anderson urged the judge to give him a minimum sentence of 10 years. Anderson asked the court to sentence Moore as a habitual offender on a 1999 theft conviction.
Moore, who was tried three times for capital murder in the March 12, 1999, stabbing death of Karen Tipton, told the judge his recent troubles stemmed from “all he’d been through.”
The first jury that heard Moore’s capital murder case in 2002 convicted him of capital murder. A local judge granted an appeal giving Moore a new appeal.
The second trial ended in a mistrial in 2008 and a jury acquitted him of the charges in 2009.
Moore was back on the radar of law enforcement after about 18 months of freedom, first in Lawrence County where state troopers charged him with DUI.
Last June he was captured on video surveillance after breaking into Wally World convenience store and taking cigarettes. Two months ago he pleaded guilty to third-degree burglary in connection with the break-in of the store.
During sentencing Haddock told Moore that he obviously has a drug problem and, after his release from prison, the judge ordered him to go to a drug treatment center.
Dr. David Tipton, husband of murder victim Karen Tipton, sat quietly in the courtroom during the hearing. He told The Daily he has a flight scheduled to return home today. Tipton gave no other comments.

boy Dave Tipton just wasted a lot of money on an airline ticket in order to satisfy his weird lusts about Moore.
.
However, I'm surprised he only got 2 years for this.
I believe Dave Tipton killed his wife, after Moore fixed the alarm system and left the Tipton house
I don't know about you all, but I totally dispise the "justice" system. With few exceptions, they destroy justice and coddle criminals. Totally. We are absolutely victims of the arrogant 'good old boys' on the bench and before the bar. They seem to think they are playing some knd of game instead of preventing us from being vicitimized bt criminals. They are more concerned with taking care of and 'rehabilitating' criminals than they are with taking care of and protecting US!!! Disgusting!!!
I'LL ALWAYS BELIEVE DR. TIPTON KILLED HIS WIFE.
I don't think he killed his wife.... I think he had her killed. simple as that.
.
Moore was just a dumb kid with drug problems that was easy to be the patsy.
I've never believed Moore was guilty; never will! I think Dr. Tipton is the one who got exactly what he wanted!
You people are disgusting. There was absolutely no evidence whatsoever that David Tipton had anything to do with his wife's murder. The police had a CONFESSION and DNA from Daniel Moore, what else did a jury want, video? I imagine Tipton came to court hoping that, since his wife's murder trial was a complete and total travesty, maybe he would get some small measure of justice out of Moore going to jail for this last crime.
Two years is nothing for a habitual criminal. It appears the DA tried to send Moore away where he belongs for a while, too bad once again a judge failed to do so.
I guess he never learned his lesson!
Dumb-ass deserves this and probably some more.
Why does the Tipton case always get brought up he was found not guilty ! Give it a rest !

Wow I agree with Bob & the!!
Why in the Sam Hill was David Tipton even at this court hearing today? Oh my word, he has serious issues and problems. I have always believed that David Tipton killed his wife. I never once thought that Daniel did it. I do hope Daniel gets help with his issues, whether it be drugs or alcohol.....only he knows what will help him.
In Michigan, if you are convicted the 3rd. time, you are sentenced to life in prison. It's called the 3 strikes and you're out law.
Debra - Frist of all, most everyone here is claiming they believe Daniel was innocent of Karen Tipton's murder (regardless of the charges or the jury's verdict). Second, Dave Tipton decided to make an appearance at this sentencing hearing - which further reminded everyone of his connection to Daniel. If you are supportive of DWM, these comments should be pleasing to you.
hey, an out of control prosecutor ruined this man's life. Don't forget that.
