The Venezuelan Court has granted the maximum penalty of 30 years of imprisonment to the last three defendants for the assault and homicide case of ex-Miss Venezuela Monica Spear and her husband, prosecutor said Saturday, Feb. 13.  

A note from the Attorney General's Office said, "Considering the convincing proof presented by the prosecution Alejandro Maldonado Perez, 23, Franklin Cordero Alvarez, 30, and Leonar Marcano Lugo, 35, were sentenced to 30 years in prison." The three were convicted by the northern state of Carabobo with "intentional homicide committed during the robbery."

As reported by Latino Fox News, other suspects Nelfrend Jimenez, 23, Jean Carlos Caloni, 21, and Jose Ferreira, 20, were previously sentenced between 24 to 26 years in prison. On the other hand, Gerardo Contreras Alvarez, who was only 19 when the crime happened, was sentenced to be in jail for four years.

When a video was made for the documentation of the new edition of the book "The Homicide of Monica Spear" was aired Oct. 2, Alvarez insisted they never planned to kill the ex-beauty queen or her family. The initial plan was only to rob and not to end Spear's life. He told Maria Isoliett Iglesias and Deivis Ramirez, the book's authors: "I didn't kill her because I wanted to, I just shot and the bullet happened to hit her... I'm not sorry. I know someday I'm going to get out of here."

Alvarez also stated the complete details of how his group executed the crime to Iglesias and Ramirez. According to him, they first threw some rocks on the street then waited until some vehicle would pass and had an accident. As the vehicle got stranded, they would then grab the chance to assault the people inside it.

"Spear remained quiet -- it was robbery. I searched her. She said nothing. The husband talked, but I didn't understand anything because he was talking another language." When a tow truck tried to help, offering the victims breakdown assistance, the suspects began to panic and that was when every one of them opened fire, as posted by Yahoo News.

The crime happened on Jan. 2014 when Spear and Thomas Henry Berry, 39, her British husband, was on their way going home passing through the highway in central Venezuela with their 5-year-old daughter. Their daughter was shot in the leg while Spear and her husband both died from a fatal shot.

Meanwhile, their daughter has already recovered and is presently living with Rafael Spear, her maternal grandfather, in Orlando, Florida.
