From same article. That should keep him locked up for a long time.

He was also charged with conspiracy, murder, robbery, burglary, stalking, witness tampering, hindering prosecution, desecrating human remains, eluding police, aggravated assault, possession of narcotics with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school and related narcotics offenses.

(Sentencing to be held on 4/3/23)

Feb. 15, 2023
NEWARK, NJ — Two brothers were convicted on Monday in the 2018 murder of a Newark woman and bungling an attempt to use corrosive chemicals to quickly decay her body, leaving it to decompose at an abandoned Irvington house.

Gualberto Lebron faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for his aggravated murder conviction. Gilberto Lebron could face up to 10 years in prison for desecrating human remains.

 
It took 5 years for this to move through the courts? This should have been an open and shut case…from what I’ve read. Even with Covid this seems to be a long time for a trial.
 

Acting Essex County Prosecutor Theodore N. Stephens, II announced that Superior Court Judge Ronald D. Wigler sentenced Gualberto Lebron to Life Imprisonment without the possibility of parole, plus 32 years for assaulting, sexually assaulting, stalking, and murdering Julia Vega, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his children.

Lebron disintegrated her remains by placing them in sealed garbage bags filled with chemicals.

Officials said Lebron, 37, of Newark, was also sentenced for three counts of Endangering the Welfare of the three children he and Vega had in common.
