Telenovela star, Pablo Lyle has been sentenced after he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.A jury gave the verdict on October 4 2022, following an incident from 2019 when the actor punched a man during a traffic-related argument. This led to the death of Juan Ricardo Hernandez at 63, who suffered serious brain injury after an altercation with the actor.Lyle faced a sentence between 9.25 and 15 years for the manslaughter conviction but Judge Marisa Tinkler Mendez showed leniency after noting that the actor showed remorse for the incident. The actor was instead sentenced to 5 years in prison. He will also have to attend anger management classes, complete 500 hours of community service and serve eight years of probation.During the hearing, the actor mentioned that it was not his intention to cause the death of Hernández. "I never wanted any of this to happen, I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined something like this could have happened, that life could be lost and so many others affected so drastically in just a matter of seconds and just one punch…" He also apologized to Hernandez's family for the incident, saying, "I can only imagine the pain of losing a loved one, someone that important, especially in a situation like this. I think about it every day. I pray that this day will bring you closure and that whatever happens today you can leave this courtroom with grace in your hearts."
