On Friday, October 20, 2023, Mancebo pleads guilty to capital murder and is sentenced to 50 years in prison.

Visiting Judge James Anderson allowed Mancebo to remain on bond for the weekend, telling him to return to court on Monday to begin serving 50 years.

The judge told him failing to return would up his sentence to 60 years.

Needless to say, Mancebo didn't return that Monday, spending the next two and a half years on the run.

 None of this should have ever happened. No one should have ever been placed at risk,  Kahan said.  If you plead guilty to capital murder, that should be it. End of story. 

What's next:

In court documents, Judge James Anderson states he wants to be the presiding judge after Mancebo is captured. We'll see if that happens.
