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。

2015年1月,对冲基金Wainscott Capital的创始治理合伙人老托马斯·吉尔伯特被发现惨死在自家公寓,头部中枪。

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。

小吉尔伯特的律师没有否认他杀死了父亲,但辩称他是无辜的,因为他患有精神错乱症。6月,陪审员驳回了精神错乱的辩护。

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。

小吉尔伯特本年35岁,曾在普林斯顿足球队效力,获得了经济学学位。枪击事件发生时,他30岁,没有工作,每周从怙恃那边拿1000美元的零花钱。

Hours before Thomas Sr。 was killed, he cut his son‘s weekly allowance to $300, prosecutors said。

检方说,在老托马斯被杀前几个小时,他将儿子的每周零用钱削减到了300美元。

历久以来游走上流社会、住曼哈顿的公寓、去汉普顿冲浪、时不时周游世界的小吉尔伯特一下难以接管了,一周300美元怎么能维持之前的生活水平呢。

于是令人发指的他把枪瞄准了父亲。而在庭审时,母亲居然也帮儿子求情,称儿子开枪不是出于报复,而是受神经病困扰多年,无法明辨是非。

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。”

受害者的老婆雪莉·吉尔伯特周五揭橥了一份受害者影响陈述书,她说家人进展小吉尔伯特“被判得越轻越好。”

“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。”

“我在法庭上说过好多次,15年来我们一向想让汤米进病院治疗,”雪莉·吉尔伯特说。“他病得太厉害,无法做出准确判断。他需要住院,若是他早去病院治疗的话,我丈夫如今还会在世。”

She told the court she definitely plans to appeal the sentencing。

她还敷陈法庭,她一定会提出上诉。

说完之后她还增补了一句“他爸爸也不会进展他被重判的”。在为期五周的庭审过程中,小吉尔伯特一向拒绝亲自出庭。尽管如斯,法庭照样出示了他与父亲的部门邮件往来,能够看出他一向在伸手要钱。

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。

从法庭出示的小吉尔伯特和怙恃之间的电子邮件能够看出,他们的关系一向不不乱。他几回伸手要钱,有时是要做“慈善”,有时是向母亲转发高级体育社交俱乐部发来的过期账单,数额高达几千美元。

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。

2014年10月,审查官说,小吉尔伯特曾在电脑上搜刮若何伪造支票,还查找了些供应空白支票模板的网站。审查官说,警方在他家还发现了信用卡伪造装配,这部门也会使他面临指控。

家景精巧、藤校卒业,如许的高材生本能够有几多作为,现在却沉溺铁窗,不禁让人唏嘘。然而更多的网友倒是怒其不争。

零用钱?哪个成年汉子还在想着要零用钱?!

没法把他送去神经病院??非自愿监管啊。他们当然是有资源能做到的。岂非她(小吉尔伯特母亲)想成为下一个牺牲者?

um。。。他这个年数拿零用钱不会感觉太大了点吗?岂非不是本身挣钱本身花吗?

在好多人的印象中,美国年青年头人到了18岁就要离家自力生活,本身挣钱养活本身,怎么会显现如许的啃老族?事实上,好多人并没有这么自力,也并不是一到18岁就搬出去了。

一位网友曾做过一个小查询,问人人都是什么时候搬出怙恃家的,只有26%的人是在18岁之前搬走了。

2018年皮尤研究中心的一份数据也显露,与怙恃同住的年青年头人比例越来越高。

The share of young adults in their late 20s living with their parents is the highest it‘s been in 75 years。 According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, 33% of 25-29 year olds lived with their parents or grandparents in 2016。

接近30岁的年青年头人与怙恃生活在一路的比例是75年来最高的。凭据皮尤研究中心比来的一项研究,2016年,25-29岁的人中有33%与怙恃或祖怙恃住在一路。

啃老的一部门原因是美国大学膏火很贵,并且还在络续涨价。另一部门则是他们超前的消费观。所以不单啃怙恃,啃爷爷奶奶的情形也不少见。

在..还有一群“蛰居族”,他们与外界隔离一切关联,不工作、不上学也不求职,依靠怙恃生活。据《..经济新闻》发布的数据显露,2018年,这一群体人数高达100万。

邻人韩国的情形也并不乐观,2018年失业在家的年青年头人已经达到了31.3万人。

你感觉啃老现象是怙恃的原因照样孩子的原因造成的?
