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."

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 Cyrus R. Vance Jr. had said that the elder Gilbert was killed "in spite
of all his love and generosity."
