One freed and one convicted for murder of Mirna Sanabria
The trial in the 2008 murder of Mirna Sanabria concluded today and one of the co-defendants left the courtroom a free man while the other was hauled back to prison. Earlier in the week, a no case submission was made on behalf of the co-defendant, twenty-six year old Sherman Anderson. Justice Troadio Gonzalez upheld that submission and set Anderson free. This evening, a jury of twelve held a unanimous verdict against twenty-three year old Nelson Gibson, the only man left standing on trial for the gruesome murder. Sentencing was immediately carried out and Justice Troadio Gonzalez gave him life imprisonment. The trial stemmed from the murder of twenty-two year old Sanabria who was shot in the neck in Cotton Tree Village during an armed robbery at her family’s store. On February twenty-seventh, 2008, three men stormed into a store in Cotton Tree, shot at the owner, but missed. A struggle ensued between the owner and he ran out to get help from his brother who lived nearby. But by the time the shop owner returned with a gun, the men shot and killed his daughter, Mirna in front of her young baby and mother.
Half a loaf is better than none. Anderson will be in trouble again son enough & hopefully the police will present enough evidence to convict him or the next person he tries to victimize will take him out.
Knowing that he has a lifetime to sit in jail while his cohorts continue to run the streets may loosen Gibson’s tongue but it should be a lesson to every other fool who chooses to follow.

Good to see justice is being done in this case. Rot in jail Nelson Gibson! I hope its more like death in prison rather than life in prison.
Some of you Fxxxing Belizean talk like you now It all . were you there when the young man pull the trigga ? If So then talk but If not shut the …. up . Am tired of seing innocent people life finish when the real killers enjoy freedom and plan there next moved . sherman Anderson and nelson gibson are to innocent men . nelson diden’t deserved that harsh penalty of life In prisonment for something he didnt do . I hate to see Innocent person In jail , there are criminals that are always In police custody that done the crime but always manage to walk and some innocents are the one that spends the time . we as fellow Belizean need to stop judge others by appearances but by the truth and see that our Country Is full up with mislead partys ( U.D.P AND P.U.P ) that support crime and different gangs . why you think that the real criminals will never be bring forth to justice ? I’ll leave you clueless Belizean with something to think of and stop demolish our few good Belizean that we still have left In our corrupted country .
Lol for pete’s sake. You are judged by the company you keep. 6 & 1 da half a dozen. SHOW NO MERCY. HANG EM HIGH!!! Or hopefully they don’t survive prison and get fat off our tax dollars. Most of them behind bars are NOT INNOCENT.
Lol, you brought up valued points in your comment. However the use of “Fxxxing Belizean” was uncalled for.
Life in prison does not seem like a fair punishment to me for this b….., three meals a day, a warm bed, and bills free.
Don’t wait till he pisses off someone in prison and they stab him in the back with a knife, get rid of the animals, leave none of them alive.
