Keith Gibson gets 297 years on top of 7 life sentences for T-Mobile slayings

Judge Ferris Wharton did everything in his power to ensure that Keith Gibson will never breathe free air again. The felon who a jury convicted in November said the sentencing was “bull––.” He apparently felt that his spree of killings at a T-Mobile in Elsmere along with past convictions and killings that the prosecution noted, though he was not punished in Delaware for those crimes.

His brazen, cavalier way of addressing the fact that he will always be incarcerated still reverberates around the state of Delaware. For him to take the lives of Leslie Ruiz-Basillio among others paints him as the vicious miscreant that he is. For the families of the victims, they could not count on the state to send him to the electric chair or have lethal injections end his life as Delaware no longer recognizes capital punishment. That’s a shame. For this monster to still walk and talk and be afforded air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter in prison; for him to sup on meals; for him to realize that he can sit in the day room and play cards and watch TV is abhorrent.

Gibson had to look again at the faces of the people he hurt that called his victims daughter or sister. For him to not realize that he is actually getting off lightly is sad. But it was all the judge could do. So Gibson will be serving thousands of years behind bars but the lives that he destroyed can never be brought back into this world.

What transpired, of course, was justice. Wharton’s hands were not just tied but behind his back and wedged between two walls. Some might argue that Gibson deserves every year he received, but that doesn’t assuage the people who had to bury their loved ones because of Gibson’s hideous nature. No, he’ll have a job in prison. He’ll be able to crack jokes and sing songs to himself. None of this can be said of his victims.

In the sentencing, Gibson must serve four life sentences with convictions of two counts of murder in the first degree. They represented the fact he killed with intent and recklessness. Wharton, in addition, sent Gibson away on life sentences based on robbery, weapons, and attempted murder. In this whole disgusting display that Gibson perpetrated, the judge still wanted to make a statement.

With all the time that will be handed down to Gibson, he will have to contemplate the various murders he made happen. That is the truth to all of this. Gibson holds that all of this sentencing is false, but evidence has mounted against him in previous court appearances and even showed up again at the sentencing. In order for him to fully comprehend that he could still get the death penalty once his Pennsylvania crimes get addressed by another judge, he might be looking at the ultimate in legal proceedings.

If there is anyone out there who doesn’t agree that this brute should get the maximum damnation, that would be sad. Gibson is fully responsible for his crimes as a jury said in November of 2023.

To relegate his actions as a disgruntled motions from an animal that rightfully belongs in a cage or to drop dead would be the optimum choice for anyone with at least a smidgen of justice in their bones. Salute to Judge Wharton for his role in doing everything he could possibly do to show that Gibson must never live in liberty ever again. For utter garbage like Gibson to direct his actions as he pleases will forever be banished from thought. Good riddance.
