Son Who Allegedly Killed Wealthy Father For Lowering His Allowance Found Guilty Of Murder
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A jury in Lower Manhattan has convicted a 34-year-old man of murdering his wealthy father.
Prosecutors claimed Thomas Gilbert Jr. was angry because his millionaire, hedge fund manager father had reduced his $1,000-a-week allowance.
The 70-year-old was shot to death inside his East Side apartment in January of 2015.
Jurors rejected an insanity defense after Gilbert's lawyer argued he was unfit to stand trial.
Gilbert will be sentenced Aug. 9 and could face life in prison.
