La historia de Pablo Ibar ya es una serie de televisión

Click here to Google translate this article into your own language.

La pesadilla del hispano-estadounidense Pablo Ibar comenzó un 27 de enero de 1994, cuando se encontraron en Florida los cuerpos acribillados de Casimir Sucharski, dueño de un club nocturno, y dos mujeres de 25 años, Sharon Anderson y Marie Rogers. Ibar, hijo de un pelotari vasco emigrado a EEUU, fue detenido y hallado culpable de las tres muertes ese mismo año, y lleva reclamando un juicio justo desde entonces, casi un cuarto de siglo.

Condenado a muerte en EEUU tras una cadena de sucesos, Ibar, que ahora tiene 46 años y lleva en el corredor 16 de los 25 que lleva preso, consiguió este mismo año eludir esa decisión "in extremis". Fue el pasado mes de mayo, cuando un jurado muy dividido decidió adjudicarle la cadena perpetua en lugar de la pena de muerte. Pablo Ibar ganó tiempo, pero según su entorno todavía no se ha hecho justicia.

La esperanza es que una futura revisión del juicio acabe por exonerarle totalmente del brutal crimen, después de haber pasado toda su juventud y vida adulta entre rejas. Pero de momento es eso, una esperanza. Ibar sigue en la cárcel y así seguirá al menos una larga temporada.

Un vídeo de seguridad grabó a dos asaltantes, dos rostros borrosos y cubiertos por distintas prendas, asesinar a balazos a las tres víctimas. Las imágenes que fueron distribuidas por la Policía, y que derivaron en la detención del español-estadounidense, según su defensa no ofrecen una identificación clara.

Una investigación pobre, interrogatorios sin abogados, un juicio parcial, una familia sin recursos para pagar un proceso con garantías, un abogado incompetente y sí, finalmente una sentencia brutal. La de Pablo Ibar, que siempre se declaró inocente, ha sido una cadena de decisiones y hechos desafortunados desde el principio. El primer juicio se reveló incapaz de determinar un veredicto, un segundo resultó nulo y el tercero, el del año 2000, finiquitó con todas las esperanzas de Pablo y concluyó con una condena a muerte que solo recientemente ha logrado esquivar.

El resultado en todo caso es una vida entera en la cárcel y una lucha constante, en ocasiones contrarreloj, para al menos eludir la pena capital que la Fiscalía desea adjudicarle a toda costa. Por el camino, imágenes de una vida que debería ser mejor: Ibar se casó en la cárcel con su novia de la adolescencia, Tanya Quiñones, hace 20 años, y ha logrado mantener el contacto con su familia a duras penas.

Este otoño Movistar+ refleja su historia con En el corredor de la muerte, un proyecto ambicioso dirigido por Carlos Marques-Marcet (10.000 kilómetros) que se estrena este 13 de septiembre. El popular Miguel Ángel Silvestre encarna a Pablo Ibar en una serie de 4 capítulos centrada en el proceso judicial, su estancia en la cárcel y su relación con Tanya, encarnada por Marisé Álvarez.

La serie supone el regreso de Silvestre tras una larga estancia en Estados Unidos, donde ha protagonizado la serie de culto Sense 8 para Netflix. Marqués-Marcet se ha rodeado además de un equipo técnico y artístico de primera (procedente de la serie Fariña, una de las producciones televisivas más aclamadas de la historia española) para plasmar una historia real de plena actualidad y que está lejos de finalizar.

Federal Judge Rules Out Death Penalty for Luigi Mangione in UnitedHealth CEO Killing

NEW YORK — A federal judge has dismissed two charges against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, effectively removing the possibility of the death penalty in the high-profile case.

Georgia parole board suspends scheduled execution of Cobb County death row prisoner

The execution of a Georgia man scheduled for Wednesday has been suspended as the State Board of Pardons and Paroles considers a clemency application. Stacey Humphreys, 52, would have been the state's first execution in 2025. As of December 16, 2025, Georgia has carried out zero executions in 2025. The state last executed an inmate in January 2020, followed by a pause due to COVID-19. Executions resumed in 2024, but none have occurred this year until now. Humphreys had been sentenced to death for the 2003 killings of 33-year-old Cyndi Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown, who were fatally shot at the real estate office where they worked.

Oklahoma board recommends clemency for inmate set to be executed next week

A voting board in Oklahoma decided Wednesday to recommend clemency for Tremane Wood, a death row inmate who is scheduled to receive a lethal injection next week at the state penitentiary in McAlester. Wood, 46, faces execution for his conviction in the 2001 murder of Ronnie Wipf, a migrant farmworker, at an Oklahoma City hotel on New Year's Eve, court records show. The recommendation was decided in a 3-2 vote by the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, consisting of five members appointed by either the governor or the state's top judicial official, according to CBS News affiliate KWTV. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Sitt will consider the recommendation as he weighs whether to grant or deny Wood's clemency request, which would mean sparing him from execution and reducing his sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

China executes another four members of powerful Myanmar-based crime family

China has executed another four members of a powerful Myanmar-based crime family that oversaw 41 pig butchering scam* compounds across Southeast Asia. The executed individuals were members of the Bai family, a particularly powerful gang that ruled the Laukkai district and helped transform it into a hub for casinos, trafficking, scam compounds, and prostitution. China’s Supreme People’s Court approved the executions after 21 members were charged with homicide, kidnapping, extortion, operating a fraudulent casino, organizing illegal border crossings, and forced prostitution. The court said the Bai family made over $4 billion across its enterprise and killed six Chinese citizens.
