Princeton grad charged with killing financier dad rejects plea deal

“Are you at all interested in the plea that the district attorney is offering?” Justice Melissa Jackson asked Thomas GIlbert Jr. after a weeklong hearing in his murder case.

“Ahh, no, Your Honor,” replied the bedraggled defendant, wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Assistant District Attorney Craig Ortner offered Gilbert Jr. a deal of up to 25 years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea to first-degree manslaughter. If convicted at trial, he faces up to life in prison on the top count of second-degree murder.

The New York jury reportedly found him guilty of three out of four charges, including “second-degree murder and weapon possession charges.”

Gilbert’s five-week trial had been delayed in the years since the murder in order to determine whether or not he was mentally fit to stand trial."

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...."
