The Florida Court of Appeals has upheld life in prison for Pablo Ibar and has refused to revoke the sentence as requested by the defense of this Hispanic-American citizen, who is serving a sentence in the United States for three murders.

The spokesman for the Pablo Ibar-Just Trial Association, Andrés Krakenberger, who this week has visited different Basque towns with the father and defense attorney of the convicted person to continue gathering support, has reported this ruling, which he describes as a “destroying blow”. .

Pablo Ibar, 50 years old, married, father of two children and nephew of the Basque boxer José Manuel Ibar “Urtain”, has been imprisoned in the United States since 1994 and has been tried four times for the deaths of Casimir Sucharski, a nightclub owner, and models Marie Rogers and Sharon Anderson, three crimes that he assures that he did not commit.

ibar spent 16 years on death row until in 2016 an appeal court annulled the sentence considering the evidence “too flimsy”, and later his death sentence was replaced by life imprisonment. On February 28, the hearing in which he requested the revocation of his life sentence, which has now been rejected, was held in a Florida appeals court.
