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".

Arizona | Man who murdered pastor crucifixion style requests plea deal after parents killed in plane crash

Adam Sheafe, the California man who admitted to killing a New River, Arizona, pastor in a crucifixion-style attack, has asked prosecutors to offer him a plea deal that would result in a natural life sentence rather than the death penalty he had previously sought. Advisory council attorneys representing Sheafe sent a formal plea offer to prosecutors this week, about two weeks after his father and stepmother died in a plane crash at Marana Airport on April 8, according to 12 News. Sheafe, 51, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of William Schonemann, 76, pastor of New River Bible Church, who was found dead inside his home last April.

US Department of Justice announces decision to resume federal executions

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Friday that it will resume the federal use of capital punishment and that it is seeking death sentences against 44 defendants. DOJ also said that it will use firing squads, electrocution, or nitrogen asphyxiation if the drug used in lethal injection is unavailable. The announcement follows the Restoring and Strengthening the Federal Death Penalty report, published on April 24. The report is especially critical of the moratorium on federal executions, ordered by Attorney General Merrick Garland in July 2021, to remain until the death penalty could be conducted “fairly and humanely.” Garland was concerned about the federal lethal injection protocol, which uses only one drug, pentobarbital, and the possibility that it causes “unnecessary pain and suffering.” In response to Garland’s moratorium and concerns, President Biden commuted the sentences of 37 prisoners on federal death row, leaving only three prisoners.

China | Man sentenced to death for murder executed in Yunnan

Tian Yongming, who was initially sentenced for a series of violent crimes and then had his sentence changed to death early this year, has been executed in Yunnan province following approval from China's top court. The execution was carried out by the Intermediate People's Court in Yuxi, Yunnan, on Tuesday, with local prosecutors supervising the process. Before the execution, Tian was allowed to meet with his family members. The case dates back to September 1996, when Tian was sentenced to nine years in prison for the rape and attempted murder of his sister-in-law. After his release on July 15, 2002, he plotted revenge against the woman. On the night of Nov 13, 2002, he broke into her home armed with a knife.

20 Minutes to Death: Witness to the Last Execution in France

The following document is a firsthand account of the final moments of Hamida Djandoubi, a convicted murderer executed by guillotine at Marseille’s Baumettes Prison on September 10, 1977. The record—dated September 9—was written by Monique Mabelly, a judge appointed by the state to witness the proceedings. Djandoubi’s execution would ultimately be the last carried out in France before capital punishment was abolished in 1981. At the time, President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing—who had publicly voiced his "deep aversion to the death penalty" prior to his election—rejected Djandoubi’s appeal for clemency. Choosing to let "justice take its course," the President allowed the execution to proceed, just as he had in two previous cases during his term:   Christian Ranucci , executed on July 28, 1976 and Jérôme Carrein , executed on June 23, 1977. Hamida Djandoubi , a Tunisian national, was sentenced to death for killing his former lover, Elisabeth Bousquet. He was execu...

Iran to execute first woman linked to mass protests after ‘forced confessions’

Bita Hemmati and three others have been sentenced to death for 'collusion' and 'propaganda.' Advocates claim the charges are baseless, citing a secretive process and state-televised interrogations. Iranian authorities are preparing to execute Bita Hemmati, the first woman sentenced to death in connection with the mass protests in Tehran in late December and January, according to the US-based non-profit the Human Rights Activists News Agency. Judge Iman Afshari, of Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, sentenced Hemmati, her husband, Mohammadreza Majidi Asl, and Behrouz Zamaninezhad, and Kourosh Zamaninezhad to death on the charge of “operational action for the hostile government of the United States and hostile groups,” in addition to discretionary imprisonment period of five years on the charge of “assembly and collusion against national security.”  

Tennessee | Man set to be executed files motion claiming DNA evidence will exonerate him

SINGAPORE — Singaporean authorities executed Omar bin Yacob Bamadhaj at Changi Prison on Thursday, April 16, 2026, following his 2019 conviction for importing 1,009.1 grams of cannabis.
