Florida | Pablo Ibar: La defensa afirma que un testigo no solo reconoce a los autores del crimen, sino que estos se lo confesaron directamente

El triple asesinato que ocurrio en Miramar en 1994, podra ser abierto de nuevo tras nuevo testigo clave, dice abogado.

El caso de Pablo Ibar, marcado por más de tres décadas de juicios y apelaciones, podría dar un giro decisivo. Su abogado actual, Daniel Tibbitt, asegura contar con un nuevo testigo que identifica a los verdaderos responsables del triple homicidio ocurrido en Miramar, Broward, en 1994.

La defensa afirma que este testigo no solo reconoce a los autores del crimen, sino que asegura que estos se lo confesaron directamente. Además, sostiene que fue parte de una pandilla colombiana vinculada al tráfico de drogas en Miami durante los años 90.

Según su testimonio, a él y a otros dos hombres les pidieron asesinar a Casimir Sucharski, pero fueron los otros dos quienes finalmente ejecutaron el crimen.

El hecho, registrado por una cámara de seguridad el 27 de junio de 1994, dejó una grabación en la que se ve a dos hombres golpeando y luego disparando a Sucharski, propietario del bar Casey’s Nickelodeon en Pembroke Park, junto a Sharon Anderson y Marie Rogers.

El caso fue catalogado por la policía como un robo que terminó en asesinato.

Tibbitt considera a este nuevo testigo como “la pieza faltante del rompecabezas” y destaca lo que entiende como un punto clave: “en la escena del crimen se encontró una cantidad significativa de ADN que no ha podido ser vinculada con ningún sospechoso conocido”.

La defensa ha presentado una solicitud ante la corte para incluir al nuevo testigo y a los dos nombres implicados, cuya identidad aún no ha sido revelada.

Pablo Ibar fue acusado y su primer juicio, en 1998, fue declarado nulo por falta de unanimidad en el jurado.

En 2000, un segundo juicio lo condenó a pena de muerte. Esa sentencia fue anulada en 2016 por la Corte Suprema de Florida, que señaló deficiencias en la defensa y evidencia poco sustancial.

Ibar enfrentó entonces un tercer juicio, tras el cual fue condenado a cadena perpetua.

Un segundo acusado en el caso, Seth Penalver, fue exonerado en 2012 tras la revocación de su sentencia.

En 2023, el Tribunal de Apelaciones de Florida rechazó la más reciente apelación de Ibar, quien continúa cumpliendo una condena de por vida.

En paralelo a los esfuerzos legales, su padre, Cándido Ibar, exjugador de pelota vasca, ha sostenido durante décadas la lucha pública por demostrar la inocencia de su hijo. Su constancia lo ha convertido en una figura visible en torno al caso.

Ahora, la defensa ha presentado una solicitud ante la corte para incluir al nuevo testigo y a los dos nombres implicados, cuya identidad aún no ha sido revelada.

La fiscalía tiene 180 días para responder. Una audiencia sobre esta moción está prevista para el 7 de agosto.

Judge allows Tennessee death row inmates to include botched executions in lawsuit

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two failed executions in Tennessee are now at the center of a growing legal battle over the state’s lethal injection protocol after a judge ruled in favor of death row inmates Friday. A Davidson County judge ruled death row inmates can expand their lawsuit to include new allegations stemming from the botched executions of Tony Carruthers and Christa Pike.

Why Many Americans Think Christa Pike Should Undergo a Second Execution Attempt

On October 20, Reuters released the results of a survey showing that 33% of the American public want Tennessee to try again to put Christa Pike to death. Another 26% are undecided. That means 59% of the public would support or be open to such a possibility. I want to suggest a reason why. Second execution attempts are rare in this country and, as a result, the public knows little if anything about them. That may help explain why so many would give Tennessee another chance to kill Christa Pike.
