发帖数: 2555 | 1 Thomas Gilbert Jr., who was convicted of killing his father after the older
man cut back his weekly allowance, was sentenced Friday to 30 years to life
in prison.
Thomas Gilbert Sr., a founding managing partner of the hedge fund Wainscott
Capital, was found dead in his apartment in January 2015 with a gunshot
wound to the head.
Gilbert's attorneys did not dispute that he killed his father but said he
was not guilty by reason of insanity. Jurors in June dismissed the insanity
defense and convicted him of second-degree murder. They also found him
guilty on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree
. He was found not guilty of criminal possession of forgery devices.
Princeton grad killed father over allowance, prosecutors say. His attorney
says he's mentally ill
Shelley Gilbert, the victim's wife, gave a victim impact statement Friday
where she said the family wanted Gilbert Jr. "to be given as light a
sentence as possible."
"As I've said many times in court, we've been trying to get Tommy into a
hospital for 15 years," Shelley Gilbert said. "He's too sick to be able to
judge. He needs to be in a hospital, had he been so my husband would still
be alive."
She told the court she definitely plans to appeal the sentencing.
Gilbert Jr., 35, played football at Princeton and graduated with a degree in
economics. At the time of the shooting, he was 30 and unemployed, receiving
up to $1,000 a week from his parents.
Hours before Thomas Sr. was killed, he cut his son's weekly allowance to $
300, prosecutors said.
"We will appeal, but cannot appeal until after he is sentenced," defense
attorney Arnold Levine told CNN at the time.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. had said that the elder
Gilbert was killed "in spite of all his love and generosity."
In a new statement Friday, the prosecutor said: "While nothing can undo the
tragedy of Mr. Gilbert's death, I hope that the resolution of this case
helps his loved ones as they continue to heal from this devastating loss."
Once part of Manhattan's social elite, the younger Gilbert lived off his
parents, prosecutors say, spending his time surfing in the Hamptons. He
declined to appear in person for much of his five-week trial.
Emails between Gilbert and his parents that were shown in court depicted a
tumultuous relationship. He repeatedly asked for money, sometimes "for a
charity thing," sometimes forwarding past-due bills from an exclusive
athletic and social club for thousands of dollars to his mother.
In October 2014, prosecutors said, Gilbert's computer showed searches for
websites that discussed forging checks and offered blank check templates.
Some of the charges he faces stem from credit card forging devices found at
his home at the time of his arrest, prosecutors say.
Levine argued that Gilbert "deteriorated" around the time he began to attend
Princeton.
"Nobody wanted to look at him -- that background, those looks, that
schooling -- and say he could be mentally ill," Levine said. "Nobody wanted
to think it." | m***y
