Pablo Ibar, "destrozado" tras la decisión del tribunal de apelaciones de Florida, que ratifica la cadena perpetua

Pablo Ibar ha afirmado sentirse "destrozado" ante la última decisión del Tribunal de Apelaciones del 4º Distrito de Florida, que ha rechazado los argumentos de su abogado, Joe Nascimento, quien había pedido la revocación de la cadena perpetua y la celebración de un nuevo juicio, "con todas las garantías", y ha considerado que esta decisión es como una "sentencia de muerte".

El preso de origen vasco, que está acusado de un triple crimen perpetrado en 1994 en Estados Unidos, del que precisamente el lunes se cumplen 29 años, y cuya autoría siempre ha negado, ha enviado dos cuartillas de cuaderno manuscritas escritas desde la prisión a la Asociación Pablo Ibar-Juicio Justo en las muestra su desolación por el fallo del tribunal que ratifica la cadena perpetua que actualmente cumple, una decisión que califica de "falta de justicia".

La carta de Pablo Ibar


"Ya no sé qué más puedo hacer para demostrar mi inocencia y tener un juicio justo", escribe Ibar, quien considera, por un lado, que la negativa de la Corte de apelación a estimar el recurso y, por otro, que lo haya hecho sin fundamentar siquiera los motivos de su decisión vienen a suponer "una nueva sentencia de muerte". "No estoy en el corredor de la muerte, pero todavía tengo una sentencia de muerte", subraya.

Pablo Ibar aprovecha la breve carta para agradecer las "innumerables muestras de apoyo" que viene recibiendo de diferentes lugares del mundo. "A todos los que me han apoyado, los quiero con todo mi corazón y alma", escribe, y se despide con un "gracias por eso".

En estos momentos su familia continúa siendo su "principal apoyo". Su esposa Tanya, que le visita asiduamente, señala que tanto Ibar como ella viven una "situación difícil". Así, afirma que, después de las últimas resoluciones judiciales, "nos sentimos muy perdidos y aunque no perdamos la esperanza os pedimos que no olvidéis a mi marido".

Añade, en este sentido, que "seguimos luchando por traerlo de vuelta a casa y liberarlo de este lugar. No se merece estar ahí", indica antes de agradecer las muestras de apoyo recibidas. "Os necesitamos más que nunca", concluye.

Pablo Ibar así como su esposa se habían mostrado esperanzados con el recurso que en el mes de febrero defendió su abogado en el Tribunal de Apelaciones del 4º Distrito Judicial de Florida. Ambos confiaban en que la Sala hiciera suyos los postulados presentados por su abogado.

Por ello, el "varapalo sufrido tras conocer la resolución ha sido importante, máxime al ver que los tres magistrados que conformaban la Sala rechazaban once de los doce motivos esgrimidos por el abogado sin argumentar siquiera las razones que porqué lo hacían", han afirmado desde la asociación.

Joe Nascimento trabaja con la idea de interponer un nuevo recurso, esta vez ante el Tribunal Supremo de Florida. Se trata del mismo estamento que en 2016 anuló la condena a pena de muerte que entonces recaía sobre Ibar y ordenó repetir el juicio. Entonces, el alto tribunal estadounidense estimó que las pruebas que existían contra Pablo Ibar eran "escasas" y "débiles".

He Spent 27 Years on Death Row as a Wrongfully Convicted Man. What Comes Next?

23-hour solitary confinement. 115-degree heat. Jimmie Duncan is haunted by the decades he spent in Louisiana’s Angola Prison—and how, even after being released, he still isn’t truly free. Jimmie “Chris” Duncan wiped the sweat off his forehead as he assessed his temporary home from the parking lot of a rundown motel in central Louisiana. Sure, there’s drug dealing and prostitution, he said on a recent summer afternoon. And he suspected his neighbors were cooking meth on a floor below the room he paid $350 a week to rent.

Indiana high court sets Nov. 5 execution date for convicted child killer

The court’s decision came a little more than two months after Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita asked the justices to schedule Weisheit’s execution. State attorneys argued Weisheit had exhausted his state and federal appeals, had no active stay of execution, and could lawfully be put to death. The inmate’s attorneys opposed setting a date, saying they needed more time to pursue available legal proceedings and possible executive clemency. The defense additionally pointed to public records that it said showed the Indiana Department of Correction lacked the drugs needed to conduct an execution and had no lawful source from which to obtain them.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has scheduled the execution of Air Force veteran and longtime death row prisoner Jim Pavatt for Nov. 12, as his attorneys continue to challenge his conviction and contend that prosecutors relied on false arguments, disputed forensic evidence and an alleged confession they later described as bogus.

His execution is scheduled for the day after Veterans Day.

Hanging of Osaka Arsonist is Japan’s First Execution Under Takaichi Government

As a majority of the international community has abolished capital punishment. Japan and the U.S. are the only two countries in the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations that put people to death. The execution of Takami Sunao—an arsonist whose 2009 attack in Osaka killed five—on August 21, 2026, was Japan’s first use of capital punishment in just over a year. Over a Decade from Sentencing to Execution Takami Sunao was executed on August 21, 2026 , for a 2009 arson attack at an Osaka pachinko parlor that killed five people. In July 2009, Takami poured gasoline on the floor of a pachinko parlor in Osaka and set it alight, killing 5 customers and staff members and injuring 10 more. While the defense argued that he was in a state of diminished capacity, the Supreme Court finalized his death sentence in February 2016. The execution took place 17 years after the initial crime and 10 and a half years after the death sentence was finalized.
