The request for a new trial of Pablo Lyle has been denied by judge Marisa Tinkler Méndez, from Miami-Dade County, after reviewing the evidence to be considered by the lawyers of the Mexican actor. Thus he upheld the guilty verdict.
“The court also reviewed the cases, as I just mentioned, and in Tipton, which was quite interesting, unlike our case, in Tipton the court did not address the point of excusable manslaughter that has been made by the defense in their motion to a new trial. And that was a significant distinguishing factor between our case and Tipton, because the court properly instructed the jury in our case on justifiable and excusable homicide,” the magistrate said, adding that Lyle’s sentencing hearing – who could face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison – will be on February 7, 2023.
On October 4, Pablo Lyle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter against Juan Ricardo Hernández, a 63-year-old Cuban whom he beat after a traffic incident in Miami in 2019. On the 26th of that month, the judge announced that she would first hear the actor’s arguments about the need for a new trial, but that day the sentence could not be announced because the actor could not go to court due to a misunderstanding. , although it was connected virtually by Zoom.
