Wow, that cheating wife had some nerve calling her lover the "lying piece of $hit.' I was wondering how quickly their teenage love affair fell apart after Tom's death. The worst part of this story is that Tom's son took his own life because he missed his dad so much. Now, that was hands down heartbreaking!
@@nikkit839 That thing of a wife should definitely blame herself for destroying not only her life with her husband but her own children's lives. Their son was literally devastated over the untimely death of his father. It really is amazing just how cruel humans can be towards each other.
Linda is the real piece of work. I think she was upset that her former lover (who dumped her for a younger woman to marry) is found not guilty. She wanted him in prison because he dumped her and not because he allegedly "killed" her husband.
I find the widows reaction bizarre. Like ma’am, you were sleeping with your husbands best friend and continued after he found out. If someone is sociopath here, your name is also thrown in that hat. If he actually did do it, your actions contributed to your husbands death no matter how you spin it.
C'mon ladies. That outcry in the courtroom is questionable to be authentic due to two reasons. 1- Continuing playing the game that she actually loved her husband because she had told the police she tried to save her marriage. 2- She was so upset with her Latin lover moving on with his life and finding someone younger and arguably better looking than her.
yes. I agree with u. that's what upset me too. and the support she was getting. don't they realize If she didn't start the affair non of this would have happened
It’s Linda, the wife. She had access to both of her lovers’ medicines, their cars, and house. Give away? It was quite peculiar the drama she displayed towards Gil after the verdict was read.
I want to know how far they dug into the wife. Did she immediately go to Planet Fitness?? Did she call her husband first to try and get a hold of him? Did she call Gil once she found her husband dead?
@@janeeland4531 The way she was yelling her name calling. I was thinking " SHE'S GUILTY TOO ". It was like her yelling to him " You just couldn't get this right."
Absolutely agree. If she chose to be a loyal wife in the first place, non of this would happened. She's guilty as f.. It's hard to tell if that dentist is innocent or not, but he moves a bit funny for sure. I don't have any friends from dentist practice, but I'm sure these type of people with their knowledge in medicine potentially could be a perfect killers. And to be ok with sharing someone you love, it's hard to believe..
I hate when people say someone "overreacted" or "didn't show enough emotion" upon finding out about the death of a friend/family member. Everyone reacts differently to bad news.
Exactly…just because they have a gun and badge doesn’t mean they know EVERYTHING about a person, how they deal with grief, how they live their life. As much as they like to think they do, they don’t know everything.
True! Our 18 yo son committed suicide in 2015 and if anyone had been analyzing my behavior at his funeral i would have been deemed guilty 💯! Before his funeral, immediate family was allowed in first. My father who was born blind inadvertently ran into my sons casket and my sister started laughing and it made me laugh and then it was just a release of so much emotion. I couldn’t stop. So my point is, you cannot judge…everyone deals with things their own way.
Exactly! Agree 💯 %. I lost 20 + friends, & family members over a 2 year period. I stopped counting at that point, although the funerals kept coming. I believe it because trauma at some point. Typically the 1st few days was quite shock, living in a fog. Until it truly hit me. At some point I just learn how to be silent or still. It's too much grief. The 1st 6 months I don't believe I had a time with dry eyes, nor was I able to function. I needed to find it in me to grab all the strength I could muster to get through it all. Or it would have destroyed me. I still feel the grief today, but I have it hidden and under control. I suspect each persons reaction is specific to them. This judging a person based on something learned in a book can be dangerous.
The audacity!!I She let those crocodile tears flow. She’s the reason for the season!!! 🙌 ~And furthermore, her home should have been searched and she should have been investigated thoroughly!!! It also sounded like they had an open relationship that SHE started and wanted, which didn’t end up well, but she couldn’t care less, as long as things were going HER way. Losing her son is what she’s angry about. Not her at all angry about the loss of husband. That was a floor show & WHACK af!!! She had ZERO respect & LOVE for her husband & it SHOWS as clear as DAY in this whole entire case!!!
She, Linda was duped by Nunez and his sweet sounding lies. She came to know what Nunez was all about after he killed her husband. Malignant Narcissists and Narcissistic Liars, as well as Psychopaths lie as easily as they breathe air. Nunez is a very dangerous man.
When the son said that he “just wanted to go to sleep and wake up with his dad”, I just fell apart. I cannot even come close to imagining the pain and horror the children are going through. How in the world can Gilberto call Tom his best friend? In my world, a best friend would never betray me. Especially with my wife! So disgusting and so freaking sick!!!
This is the tragedy here. That poor boy, I pray he is with his dad also with Jesus as happy as he could ever be and it’s so beautiful and so much we can’t even imagine. Amen. God please take him in close as he needs your divinity so much. Amen
@@cindelli8706 The Daughter and Mother featured are from his first marriage. This woman was the ex-wife. The woman who had the affair was the second wife. I was confused myself until I watched the first 7 minutes again. The cheater was never charged.
Cassiondra: totally. You can just see from the pictures how close they were and how much they must have loved eachother. The wife and mother of the deceased must feel pretty awful that things turned out the way it did because of an affair
@@TASmith-ou3is it sure was. Heard he had attempted suicide, then I heard him ask what happen then...she answers " he did commit suicide ". I literally yelled out loud " OH NOOEEE" bless his mother and sister". Just tragic 😢
Agreed... I wish they had touched more on how their irresponsible behavior of extra marital affairs led to destroying so much more than just the adulterers
Dude says he “felt bad” about the affair because it was his friends wife. Then goes on to say that he doesn’t have many friends. I am not surprised by that one single bit.
@@Dulcimertunes The wife sent him gifts for their cheating anniversary 😂. The husband Tom later knew and was fine with it. So I will not call her infidelity a reason for Tom's death. Given that Gil and Tom were texting about football the day before the death, the lack of motive regarding being with the wife (he had her with the blessing of Tom) and if it's true that the police didn't traced Gil's phone to see if the phone was in the parking lot, then enough doubt exist to say he's not the killer. And maybe Tom didn't die because of homicide. But by natural causes.
Detectives: just be honest from the start. No secrets is best Suspect: *speaks honestly* Detectives: it was really strange he told us that. Too much honesty if you ask me
You would have to assume that there is no other automobile that has the same light pattern, and that all lights stay in alignment for all vehicles; those facts cannot be established, so it isn't an accepted science. A bumpy road can knock lights out of alignment, so there goes your "exact match."
@@l-b284To be fair, he never actually concluded it was Nunez's car or claimed that it was an exact science. He simply performed a visual analysis using the available footage and concluded that the two vehicles were indistinguishable from one another. Then it's up to the jury to decide what's more plausible: two vehicles coincidentally sharing a connection to the same man with the same light pattern or it was just Nunez?
Why is passing a polygraph sufficient for police but yet the results aren’t admissible in court? I didn’t hear one thing about the possibility that the deceased’s wife could have borrowed her boyfriends vehicle to poison her husband. And for prosecution to lean so heavily on some crazy car light pattern hypothesis is scary.
Glad you mentioned that about the wife being so easily eliminated after her polygraph. And the “headlight science expert” was really alarming… how is that even remotely considered forensic science? Really disturbing.
even if he was there, they cant prove he forced him to take anything..also the dosage wasnt even lethal. i think the guy had a heart attack beating his meat on his phone
Anyone else think that Linda might have had something to do with this? She had access to Nunez's car (there was never video of anyone actually out of the car from what I could tell), and his home (the midazolam was there but it was never opened and as someone who works in the health care system I'm sure she knows where to get drugs without being traced) and that outburst with her calling him a psychopath at the trial feels like a desperate tactic to say "don't look at me next, I hate this man.". Idk, something just feels very wrong about this whole thing, Nunez doesn't seem the type but I could be very wrong here
The cops did a horrible job and clogged up the court system with BS charges. The wife had no issues cheating on her husband but now wants to call him a psycho 👌🏻
RIGHT I definitely feel like the wife is suspicious. I honestly feel like she did it and was mad he didn't end up taking the fall for it. She obviously didn't care about her husband.
And she’s probably mad cus he ended up marrying someone else and not her after all the I love you’s and miss you texting . I believe she did it and probably sent him to parking lot so Gil can see that he was dead. I say she was probably trying to set Gil up. She had a motive. I’m sure he had a really nice life insurance.
He very well might have done it, but the evidence was lacking IMO. And then they have the balls to say the jurors let the family down. No, the cops and the DA blew it with a shaky case.
I truly can't believe how someone can face charges with absolutely NO concrete evidence. The car LOOKS like his??? He had vials of the medicine that weren't even open with no fingerprints. They didn't try to track Gil's phone to support their evidence that he was in the parking lot that morning. They didn't mention if they looked into any possible medical procedures that Tom could have had before his death. Of course they came back with not guilty. Absolutely nothing linked Gil to the crime.
Whether Gil is guilty or not, the jury did their job thankfully because the prosecutor and law enforcement DID NOT do theirs! I'd rather see a guilty man go free than an innocent man be put away for a crime he didn't commit. It takes 20 years to get them out of prison when wrongfully convicted.
@Wendy C The jurors didn't say he didn't do it, they admitted they don't believe the drug killed him. He definitely gave him the drug. Who else had access to it?
The case is a prime example as to why you shouldn’t live a shady life doing immoral things because it automatically makes you look guilty of higher things in the event something bad happens around you.
Imagine telling people that you specialize in headlight science. That guy is such a quack. These prosecutors try to get anything they can. And act like it’s fact.

I love that the detective said they had no evidence, but that made them believe he was guilty even more. Since when has no evidence equaled evidence? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Yeah I believe they got tunnel-vision. Even after the acquittal, they seemed to still just want to punish him. I don't think he did it. And the cheating wife?!? The NERVE of her!!!! Wow, just wow...
What ample evidence? Headlight beam analysis? Have you seen the resolution of those cameras? That’s not proof. It’s ridiculous. Belief beyond a reasonable doubt.
The cheating wife was mad at him at the end because he left her for a younger woman not because of the verdict, she destroyed her marriage and maybe killed her husband for him and at the end he married another woman.
💯 a woman openly as angry as she was, had more to do with her ego than anything. Gil seems like he is being honest. He admitted to everything even the things that made him look even worse. He didn't try to clean it up to save face.

Plenty remained uninvestigated & plenty that only the wife could have cleared. Did the wife have other affairs ? Was the husband a regular on adult sites & did he meet other people via these sites ? Were both aware of each other's activities so no issues with Nunes or wife raising any questions on her husband's internet activities. Husband agreed too easily to an open relationship & surprisingly was just fine sharing his wife with another man
@@tyc1Z.Z1 You are going down the wrong road of "right and wrong" when understanding a narciciist is all that is needed. He was directing the play. It reminds me of my mother and her projection on the entire family.
The cheating wife has a lot of nerve…she called him a psychopath? She was spreading her legs to that psychopath on a regular basis. She invited Nunez into her marriage when she invited him into her bed. She needs to sit down and shut up and remember that she had a big role in this whole situation. She’s just bitter that he married someone else after this whole mess was over with. She wanted her share of that dentist money.
He was a married dentist with 2 kids; In THAT "situation", "your friends are HER friends", with the exception of total "stepford's" like Tom...A hospital admin is not the worst friend to have...
The wife is the epitome of a double-minded person. And if the dentist killed his friend, he's the best actor I've ever seen in my life because he consistently appeared sincere, forthcoming, and relatively unworried about any questioning.
Nah she definitely did it, the fact that they mentioned briefly she also worked in a place where they were able to get access to the stuff he died from
Nothing about him says sincere to me you need to learn to read people better 😬💯 Like foreal that dude is the exact type of person to Drug someone and get away with it
@@upperplaygrounds6913 Tell me you don't know what sincerity looks like w/o telling me you don't know what sincerity looks like. The wife is the one who did it, not him
The saddest part of this is that his son took his own life. I wish I could’ve been there to hold him and guide him as someone who also lost their father young.
The husband was an absolute roll over. Unless he was a regular on adult sites & that was his guilty pleasure. Let the wife do what she wants & he does what he wants. While maintain the fascade of a regular husband wife & a so called stable 2 parent home for the kids & all their family n friends
Thank you! I was looking for this comment. I screamed, “THE NERVE!” when she was mad at the verdict and called him a sociopath like she wasn’t running point in this whole fiasco!
The wife is hollering about the verdict, calling her lover a psychopath or sociopath whatever she called him. To watch her in that scene you think she was an innocent bystander. She's the one who got this whole thing started. Yes, maybe the guy came on to her but she could have refused. She did not. If she truly valued her husband and her family I don't think she would have engaged in an extra marital affair.
I’ve been in law enforcement for 33 years. I also happen to be a Paramedic who has given hundreds of patients Midazolam (Versed). To try and blame this guys death on that trace amount of midazolam in his system is criminal. I’ve given infants this drug to stop them from having a seizure. There is no way that he died from having midazolam in his system. Being in law enforcement, I have also seen how the prosecution picks and chooses what facts to present in their case. If a certain piece of evidence doesn’t help them, they omit it. Now look at what has happen to this dentist that many people loved. He’s in prison for having a fake CIA identification on his computer. Did he ever try to use it? They took away his ability to earn a living by taking his license from him. People wonder why nobody trusts law enforcement. Well, this is a perfect example. This guy went to prison for a crime that has no victim and he can’t work to provide for his family. Why? Because these detectives were wrong and didn’t want to admit it. Really sad.
Sleeping with your friend's wife, adultery, doesn't deserve any time? It might not be why he's sitting in prison but it's good that he's paying for the adultery.
Thank you for pointing that out. My anesthesiologist gives me Versed always before surgery…while I’m in the PAC-U because I get severe anxiety prior and I’ve had over 125 operations with anesthesia in the past 30 years (I have several autoimmune diseases… felt I should explain as I’ve had more operations that most ppl can believe). I also had to give my 2 year old son liquid versed 30 mins before his dental surgery. Then the doc gave him another dose when we arrived. All the little ones were “high” on it and they all survived.
@@hollygennaro5874How was the son a victim of him having a fake CIA identification? And I mean victim in the legal sense. The way you're reaching is unbelievable. Please do enlighten us on the logic of your thinking, if you have any.
The wife is the worst. Because of her selfishness, she destroyed a family unit, the death of her husband as well as the death of her son. Honestly, I think her outrage was more about her lover moving on with another woman than justice for her husband. No doubt she killed her husband by means of emasculation way before he died in that parking lot. So sad
Why so much anger on this lady? I just don't get it. Yes, i get it, however the 'best friend' seems to have being playing everyone as long as it suited him! His best friend's wife included...
@@GuarDeannAngel Sure. I have Tunein ( They have many other great crime podcasts) & watch the episodes on Paramount+ for free with my Walmart+ subscription, which I also get free with my American Express Credit Card lol Have a great day!
The police always says that, the reaction was too much, too little, not enough. Basically according to them every reaction makes you suspicious. This is just BS beyond belief. Unbelievable that it's even used in court.
Cops will say anything to close a case. In most cases it seems they don’t care WHO did it, they just want to pat themselves on the back when a case is declared closed.
@@chelseepinkersplace9498 but he was okay with affair.. Didn't you see.. They were openly discussing about it. Tom use to msg Gil. Your gf is baking.. He was that okay.. Who wants to lose such friend who has no friends?
As a NYer, the idea of folks from the DR falling to their knees in grief is really not unexpected. I don’t believe that the dentist did it and the cops come across as pretty lazy TBH. The wife is a real piece of work talking about sociopathy lol - I guess it takes one to know one! Finally, I can’t believe that the “headlight expert” was allowed to testify with that weak “science tells us” BS.
Precisely. It’s also something people do. I did after I learned the deaths of my two best friends each time, at 21 & 28. You hear of people falling to the ground all the time.
I live in the area and Judge Williams pretty much always gave a severe sentence. He is incredibly biased, unfair, and had no issue displaying that openly in the courtroom. He is thankfully retired now
On another note, this man is a piece of work. He calls this man "his best friend" even after he started an affair with his "best friend's" wife. With friends like this, who needs enemies?!
I thought that might be a possibility, but then why not say that. Why continue to refer to it as an affair if it wasn’t. The negative implications alone would be worth the change in word choice. I did wonder if perhaps they opened the marriage after the affair was revealed, but then it begs to question did he open it to keep his wife? or because he was really okay with it? Happens a lot unfortunately.
Look, if bite mark analysis is so unscientific that it isn't allowed in courtrooms, and lie detector tests are so unscientific that they aren't allowed in courtrooms, then headlight pattern analysis is a load of bull. That analyst didn't prove ANYTHING except that the shape of the car was consistent with Nunez's. I'm with the jury here: even if Nunez did it, they didn't prove that in court.
Who else had a motive to want Tom out of the way? The cheating wife of course. Is nobody going to question her at all? And her reaction in court is priceless. Some pretty poor policing right there.
@@jeremysmith9694 I told my friend how to pass a polygraph for an investigation into a license he had from info I learned off UA-cam, he passed with flying colors 😂
@@jeremysmith9694 no, to not lose his license. He got fired from the job and had to go before the board of his profession over his certification and if they were going to revoke it. My point though was just that polygraph tests are really easy to beat.
How are people missing the fact that the MOTHER is the ex-wife (first wife) sitting next to the daughter in the interviews and that the WIFE was the one having the affair. Two totally different woman. It seems so very clear if you watch the episode.
After listening to thousands of people tell me stories as a mental health professional, as soon as I heard that 911 call, without knowing anything else, she’s exaggerating and lying and I don’t trust her at all. I think you have to be trained to hear certain things, but you don’t have to be trained to hear when certain things are missing. She’s clearly speaking that she’s upset and huffing and puffing and making sure they understand So what’s missing is the confidence that the reason she’s calling is reason enough to be calling and she doesn’t have to over emphasize how upset she is. When you are so shocked that you can’t even think straight, you might sound very calm, but you don’t always have to sound super excited. And, when you’re that excited, you have a difficult time remembering things and she clearly remembers to say everything she needs to say. I don’t know how to put it but it’s not what she saying it’s what she’s not saying and what she’s not doing How much life insurance did she get? She got out of her marriage got the life insurance, sole custody and victim status even though she wore the pants
How could any sensible juror have been expected to find him guilty based on that tissue thin collection of "evidence"? The other/later charges seem to have been made in the spirit of "gotta get you for something" and I really question the quality of the detectives and prosecution.
Those new charges, while maybe true, were based on spite by the police and the prosecutor's office. I am curious...when did Linda stop sleeping with Gilberto?
Same here. I cannot decide if I believe that Nunez killed Tom or not... 🤦🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️ 🤔 It's interesting that he was later convincted if perjury, forgery and insurance fraud! 🙆🏻♀️
Craziest thing I've ever heard that you can identify a car by its headlights that's like saying cars have DNA now. My heart goes out to the families in this story.
So, they found madazolam in a kit, at a dentists home for emergencies, where it *belongs* in a labeled slot for it, *unopened* ? Come on now. Headlight spread pattern? Can you imagine being convicted because of something like that? 🤦
yeah and the 'expert' saying low resolution to see if it was 100% the 'suspect's' car but then suddenly he could distinguish some freakin headlight patterns and come to the conclusion that indeed it was the dentist's car? thats ridiculous, and Tom's family? i feel sorry for them but they aren't the smartest tbh

Yeah. Gil was Tom's closest friend, and Tom was Gil's only best friend in Gil's opinion. I also agree with you about believing the male in these episodes is never innocent but I don't believe this is the case in this episode 👈🙂
I’m mad at the investigators. They kept trying to charge him with different things because they truly believed that he murdered his best friend. That’s bullying if nothing else.
If the mother would never have got info with that dentist none of this would have happen. She should lay down next to her husband and son it’s HER FAULT 99%
Impersonating a CIA agent is "just one of those dumb things you do?" Then he writes a letter claiming to be his mother? This guy is a psychopath. Tom's daughter is courageous in her perseverance.
This comment really does the highlight the modern progressive obsession with power that they unironically replace "peace" with "power" and don't see how batshit crazy evil they sound.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't think he did it. They had no real evidence that besides a few suspicious things, biggest thing they had being the car surveillance footage but even that was circumstantial. Yeah they found midazolam in his office but by their own admission it was all sealed and untouched in small quantities in an emergency kit. I feel like the wife or even possible suicide could have been more likely possibilities. I think it'd be easier to sneak out midazolam little by little unnoticed from a hospital than a dentist office that didn't use it. I feel they just zeroed in on this guy and ignored all other avenues of possible evidence and suspects refusing the idea they could be wrong.
I also think it could have been the wife conspiring and convinced by the doctor. Why is no one questioning why they were meeting that early in the morning🤔.....
I agree with you 100% !!!! Not once did any of the detectives mention that it could’ve been a possible suicide. I wonder if they ever checked the victim’s practice to see if he had any midazolam unaccounted for . His best friend’s DNA was no where inside or outside of the victim’s vehicle. I can’t believe that this case even WENT to trial in the first place 😱😱😱
That whole headlight thing was so subjective. I was hit (by a forklift) on my front headlight so I got a new one and it’s definitely brighter than the one my right side which is older so idk I feel like lights are also affected by the lighting around.
He DIDN'T DO IT!!! %100 FACT!! SHE got the PILLS, and GAVE THEM to Tom!!! Tom was a cuck! He "got off", while imagining his wife with Nunez...HE took the diazalam to get high...
I can relate to the children in the story, I lost my father when I was young and it was instantaneous. I buried my hurt deep inside and it ended up destroying my life, I am much older now and I only wished I would've spoken to someone about it. I tell this story so others that may find themselves in this situation will know to reach out and not do what I did, believe me talk to someone and do not do what I did, it will only end in suffering.
If you're married and have a family and a home and you have your health then you should be doing much better. I lost all of that. I went through some similar things not due to homicide though, and you're right if you don't reach out for help it'll destroy you. It robbed me of an adult life.
It’s definitely the wife. The email from a dating website on his phone, pants unzipped? He was definitely getting something but his wife found out and killed him. She wanted to be the only one allowed to cheat. The crocodile tears in court and her being so angry is a manifestation of losing her husband and her lover
I usually think suspects are always guilty, but not in this case. It’s pretty clear, like the juror said, he died of an enlarged heart. I know a 16 year old who died from that as well.
I've watched this episode at least 3x. I believe he did it, he legally got away with it. He was fortunate enough that certain circumstances played in his favor like the unclear resolution of the vehicle's image. It's no "coincidence" though, that the general description of the vehicle in the image just so happened to be similar to his. It's one of those cases where the totality of evidence may not be a slam dunk but you know the person's guilty. That dental drug found in Tom's autopsy report was the most damning for me
I went to school with Wes Leonard and he's the one that died from an enlarged heart after the winning basket. Just dropped like a sack of potatoes. It does happen
They wanted to get him for anything , they feel he’s guilty so they are looking for anything . An insurance claim from 2014.....wow. They cleared the wife from a lie detector as well. Wow . Such a sad story .

If wife were to nick midazolam from her workplace she would make sure records were correct. If there is a patient who has midazolam on a chart, she can skip their dose and take drug for herself. If there is a system where all empty bottles and ampulles are counted (this is how they do it at my mum's hospital), she could have transfered solution to another container using syringe and return the empty bottle for counting. There are always ways around hospital rules, especially when co-workers trust each other. Police should have searched the house.
As someone who studied organic chemistry in college, theobromine is something they need to look into. It can be toxic to humans in high doses. The labwork stated here only states he was 'positive' for the alkaloid, but not how much was in his system. Theobromine is a plant-based alkaloid deriving from cacoa. Which means, he could have either eaten enough chocolate to register the alkaloid in his blood stream - which would be tough to do, OR - he was given the theobromine in a large dose. Perhaps in his coffee? Notice he's also positive for caffeine in his labwork. The dentist would know this also since he would have had to study organic chemistry prior to dental school as well as it's a prerequisite for basically any of the professional degrees, his included. Theobromine is known to cause such low blood pressure that it stops the heart in high doses. Of course how he got midazolam is a mystery, but why he would have enough theobromine in his system should have also been explored.
......... you, who took organic chemistry in college like most of us, think you have this figured out or like you can teach toxicologists and medical examiners? Smh
@@IXcircle I went to pharmacy school. I think I know what I’m talking about. And by the way - most people do NOT take organic chemistry.

They need to look into the wife
00
Wow, that cheating wife had some nerve calling her lover the "lying piece of $hit.' I was wondering how quickly their teenage love affair fell apart after Tom's death. The worst part of this story is that Tom's son took his own life because he missed his dad so much. Now, that was hands down heartbreaking!
That is just horrible. Those kids loved and missed their daddy no matter what their age.
The mother is just as much at fault if she kept her legs closed none of this would have happened
Yeah people who create love triangles that can turn toxic should be ashamed of themselves
@@nikkit839 That thing of a wife should definitely blame herself for destroying not only her life with her husband but her own children's lives. Their son was literally devastated over the untimely death of his father. It really is amazing just how cruel humans can be towards each other.
That part really hit me too.
Linda, publicly, had no right to get upset and yell in court after the verdict. She's the biggest reason that started this whole mess
Linda is the real piece of work. I think she was upset that her former lover (who dumped her for a younger woman to marry) is found not guilty. She wanted him in prison because he dumped her and not because he allegedly "killed" her husband.
I believe Linda did it
@@CrickBritt
yes, i got the same sense from her.
@@CrickBritt I believe she did it aswell. I think she used his car to do it too!
it seemed like an act
I find the widows reaction bizarre. Like ma’am, you were sleeping with your husbands best friend and continued after he found out. If someone is sociopath here, your name is also thrown in that hat. If he actually did do it, your actions contributed to your husbands death no matter how you spin it.
Exactly!
Absolutely
Totally agree!
C'mon ladies. That outcry in the courtroom is questionable to be authentic due to two reasons. 1- Continuing playing the game that she actually loved her husband because she had told the police she tried to save her marriage. 2- She was so upset with her Latin lover moving on with his life and finding someone younger and arguably better looking than her.
yes. I agree with u. that's what upset me too. and the support she was getting. don't they realize If she didn't start the affair non of this would have happened
It’s Linda, the wife. She had access to both of her lovers’ medicines, their cars, and house. Give away? It was quite peculiar the drama she displayed towards Gil after the verdict was read.
Right? She's like a scorned lover.
I wondered why they didn’t look harder into her. She seemed to have more of a motive than Nunez did.
I think it was her too.
I want to know how far they dug into the wife. Did she immediately go to Planet Fitness?? Did she call her husband first to try and get a hold of him? Did she call Gil once she found her husband dead?
Can't believe she wasn't looked into.
Not her calling him names while she’s leaving the court room like she wasn’t sleeping with him 😭
She had a taste if her own medicine, jealous coz he is now married to someone else🙄
@@janeeland4531 Exactly 💯 agree with you.
@@janeeland4531 The way she was yelling her name calling. I was thinking " SHE'S GUILTY TOO ".

The deceased's wife is a real piece of work
Absolutely agree. If she chose to be a loyal wife in the first place, non of this would happened. She's guilty as f.. It's hard to tell if that dentist is innocent or not, but he moves a bit funny for sure. I don't have any friends from dentist practice, but I'm sure these type of people with their knowledge in medicine potentially could be a perfect killers. And to be ok with sharing someone you love, it's hard to believe..
hoe nymero uno
Sour grapes. Buyers remorse. He married someone else. (Not that being faithful to a spouse mattered to either one of them.)
Exactly, she was acting like really cared
She took the biggest L in the whole situation. He found a younger/prettier lady & she lost her husband because of a situation she created!!
So much respect for the victim’s daughter! What a strong, accomplished, beautiful person.
I hate when people say someone "overreacted" or "didn't show enough emotion" upon finding out about the death of a friend/family member. Everyone reacts differently to bad news.
Exactly…just because they have a gun and badge doesn’t mean they know EVERYTHING about a person, how they deal with grief, how they live their life. As much as they like to think they do, they don’t know everything.
Exactly. I found my uncle dead from suicide and I didn’t cry for a while. But now it’s been 15 years and I cry more about it now than I did then.
True! Our 18 yo son committed suicide in 2015 and if anyone had been analyzing my behavior at his funeral i would have been deemed guilty 💯! Before his funeral, immediate family was allowed in first. My father who was born blind inadvertently ran into my sons casket and my sister started laughing and it made me laugh and then it was just a release of so much emotion. I couldn’t stop. So my point is, you cannot judge…everyone deals with things their own way.
@@ssampadian I'm very sorry about your son.
Exactly! Agree 💯 %.
I lost 20 + friends, & family members over a 2 year period. I stopped counting at that point, although the funerals kept coming. I believe it because trauma at some point. Typically the 1st few days was quite shock, living in a fog. Until it truly hit me.
At some point I just learn how to be silent or still. It's too much grief. The 1st 6 months I don't believe I had a time with dry eyes, nor was I able to function. I needed to find it in me to grab all the strength I could muster to get through it all. Or it would have destroyed me. I still feel the grief today, but I have it hidden and under control.
I suspect each persons reaction is specific to them.
This judging a person based on something learned in a book can be dangerous.
Watching the victim's wife act so angry after verdict made me sick. She had a lot of nerve even showing up at the trial.
Amen
she is the reason Tom is dead and also the son!
The audacity!!I
She let those crocodile tears flow. She’s the reason for the season!!! 🙌 ~And furthermore, her home should have been searched and she should have been investigated thoroughly!!! It also sounded like they had an open relationship that SHE started and wanted, which didn’t end up well, but she couldn’t care less, as long as things were going HER way. Losing her son is what she’s angry about. Not her at all angry about the loss of husband. That was a floor show & WHACK af!!! She had ZERO respect & LOVE for her husband & it SHOWS as clear as DAY in this whole entire case!!!
She, Linda was duped by Nunez and his sweet sounding lies. She came to know what Nunez was all about after he killed her husband. Malignant Narcissists and Narcissistic Liars, as well as Psychopaths lie as easily as they breathe air. Nunez is a very dangerous man.
@@lynamor2959 is he her son?
When the son said that he “just wanted to go to sleep and wake up with his dad”, I just fell apart. I cannot even come close to imagining the pain and horror the children are going through. How in the world can Gilberto call Tom his best friend? In my world, a best friend would never betray me. Especially with my wife! So disgusting and so freaking sick!!!
A true sociopath who do not think the rules of society apply to him. Wish they had given him 25 years to life.
Was their mom convicted or did she at least feel remorse? Was that her, with the daughter?
This is the tragedy here. That poor boy, I pray he is with his dad also with Jesus as happy as he could ever be and it’s so beautiful and so much we can’t even imagine. Amen. God please take him in close as he needs your divinity so much. Amen
In any world, a wife would never betray me. Especially with my best friend. I want to know how the affair started, who initiated it, and who ended it.
@@cindelli8706 The Daughter and Mother featured are from his first marriage. This woman was the ex-wife. The woman who had the affair was the second wife. I was confused myself until I watched the first 7 minutes again. The cheater was never charged.
Linking someone to a crime using grainy gas station video of "headlight dispersal" is one of the most insane things I've ever heard
Damn man i couldn't agree more.
Junk science evidence that should have been excluded.
Absolutely.
I certainly don't see how that could prove anything.
Yeah. Especially considering the poor quality of the video surveillance cameras. It doesn't change anything.
I wonder whether Mr. Fredericks was a consultant to law enforcement in the Idaho Four case.
The worst part is Bradley’s death…. What a horrible story.
I agree. Losing Bradley is the sadest part of this whole 'affair.'
Cassiondra: totally. You can just see from the pictures how close they were and how much they must have loved eachother. The wife and mother of the deceased must feel pretty awful that things turned out the way it did because of an affair
@@TASmith-ou3is it sure was. Heard he had attempted suicide, then I heard him ask what happen then...she answers " he did commit suicide ". I literally yelled out loud " OH NOOEEE" bless his mother and sister". Just tragic 😢
Agreed... I wish they had touched more on how their irresponsible behavior of extra marital affairs led to destroying so much more than just the adulterers
@@celenacasciani8500 especially since she likely killed him
Dude says he “felt bad” about the affair because it was his friends wife. Then goes on to say that he doesn’t have many friends. I am not surprised by that one single bit.
🤪
@@Dulcimertunes The wife sent him gifts for their cheating anniversary 😂. The husband Tom later knew and was fine with it. So I will not call her infidelity a reason for Tom's death. Given that Gil and Tom were texting about football the day before the death, the lack of motive regarding being with the wife (he had her with the blessing of Tom) and if it's true that the police didn't traced Gil's phone to see if the phone was in the parking lot, then enough doubt exist to say he's not the killer. And maybe Tom didn't die because of homicide. But by natural causes.
And has the audacity to continue the affair after apologizing on his knees to him!

You would have to assume that there is no other automobile that has the same light pattern, and that all lights stay in alignment for all vehicles; those facts cannot be established, so it isn't an accepted science. A bumpy road can knock lights out of alignment, so there goes your "exact match."
@@madwelder9768 and scary
@@l-b284To be fair, he never actually concluded it was Nunez's car or claimed that it was an exact science. He simply performed a visual analysis using the available footage and concluded that the two vehicles were indistinguishable from one another. Then it's up to the jury to decide what's more plausible: two vehicles coincidentally sharing a connection to the same man with the same light pattern or it was just Nunez?
That lady cheated on her husband and she has the nerve to call someone a sociopath.
Uhhh alot
@ Blue Fantasy Cheating doesn't make someone a sociopath.
Cheating does not mean psychopath, don’t be ridiculous lol
She didn’t cheat they were in a love triangle
He is a sociopath he killed his supposed best friend
Why is passing a polygraph sufficient for police but yet the results aren’t admissible in court? I didn’t hear one thing about the possibility that the deceased’s wife could have borrowed her boyfriends vehicle to poison her husband. And for prosecution to lean so heavily on some crazy car light pattern hypothesis is scary.
Glad you mentioned that about the wife being so easily eliminated after her polygraph. And the “headlight science expert” was really alarming… how is that even remotely considered forensic science? Really disturbing.
even if he was there, they cant prove he forced him to take anything..also the dosage wasnt even lethal. i think the guy had a heart attack beating his meat on his phone
The results mean nothing. It's 50/50... lol
I agree, the wife should have been investigated more
Seriously? He’s the guilty one’ come on. They even found the Midazolam in his office.

@@angelamccrackin5243 that wasn't her child (she's the stepmother) so she probably doesn't even care.
broooooo what if the dentist killed him too so the son wouldnt get revenge later?
Anyone else think that Linda might have had something to do with this? She had access to Nunez's car (there was never video of anyone actually out of the car from what I could tell), and his home (the midazolam was there but it was never opened and as someone who works in the health care system I'm sure she knows where to get drugs without being traced) and that outburst with her calling him a psychopath at the trial feels like a desperate tactic to say "don't look at me next, I hate this man.". Idk, something just feels very wrong about this whole thing, Nunez doesn't seem the type but I could be very wrong here
Very very wrong
Methinks the cheating wife protests too much.
Yep she had access to the doctor office in a way
The cops did a horrible job and clogged up the court system with BS charges. The wife had no issues cheating on her husband but now wants to call him a psycho 👌🏻
RIGHT I definitely feel like the wife is suspicious. I honestly feel like she did it and was mad he didn't end up taking the fall for it. She obviously didn't care about her husband.
So true !!!!!!
...and decided to get him on something.
And she’s probably mad cus he ended up marrying someone else and not her after all the I love you’s and miss you texting . I believe she did it and probably sent him to parking lot so Gil can see that he was dead. I say she was probably trying to set Gil up. She had a motive. I’m sure he had a really nice life insurance.
He very well might have done it, but the evidence was lacking IMO. And then they have the balls to say the jurors let the family down. No, the cops and the DA blew it with a shaky case.
I truly can't believe how someone can face charges with absolutely NO concrete evidence. The car LOOKS like his??? He had vials of the medicine that weren't even open with no fingerprints. They didn't try to track Gil's phone to support their evidence that he was in the parking lot that morning. They didn't mention if they looked into any possible medical procedures that Tom could have had before his death. Of course they came back with not guilty. Absolutely nothing linked Gil to the crime.
Id be curious if the wife's "anger" was all an act. Are they seeing each other now?
ntb bee ...my sentiments exactly!!!!
Tunnel vision and laziness at its finest.
I agree, someone should have list their job over this. A White Pathfinder, how rare!
Whether Gil is guilty or not, the jury did their job thankfully because the prosecutor and law enforcement DID NOT do theirs!
I'd rather see a guilty man go free than an innocent man be put away for a crime he didn't commit. It takes 20 years to get them out of prison when wrongfully convicted.
@Wendy C The jurors didn't say he didn't do it, they admitted they don't believe the drug killed him. He definitely gave him the drug. Who else had access to it?
The case is a prime example as to why you shouldn’t live a shady life doing immoral things because it automatically makes you look guilty of higher things in the event something bad happens around you.
Truer words were never spoken
That's such an important lesson for us all to learn. Well said.

The cheating wife was mad at him at the end because he left her for a younger woman not because of the verdict, she destroyed her marriage and maybe killed her husband for him and at the end he married another woman.
My thoughts exactly!
BINGO!!!
💯

Plenty remained uninvestigated & plenty that only the wife could have cleared. Did the wife have other affairs ? Was the husband a regular on adult sites & did he meet other people via these sites ? Were both aware of each other's activities so no issues with Nunes or wife raising any questions on her husband's internet activities.
Husband agreed too easily to an open relationship & surprisingly was just fine sharing his wife with another man
@@tyc1Z.Z1 You are going down the wrong road of "right and wrong" when understanding a narciciist is all that is needed. He was directing the play. It reminds me of my mother and her projection on the entire family.

Two's company, 3 is a crowd...until it wasn't. 😬
Adultery takes at least three.
The cheating wife has a lot of nerve…she called him a psychopath? She was spreading her legs to that psychopath on a regular basis. She invited Nunez into her marriage when she invited him into her bed. She needs to sit down and shut up and remember that she had a big role in this whole situation.

The wife is the epitome of a double-minded person. And if the dentist killed his friend, he's the best actor I've ever seen in my life because he consistently appeared sincere, forthcoming, and relatively unworried about any questioning.
Narcissistic ppl r like that. They appear very confident because they feel like they r the best In the whole world

That wife is trifling 🥴
The husband was an absolute roll over. Unless he was a regular on adult sites & that was his guilty pleasure. Let the wife do what she wants & he does what he wants. While maintain the fascade of a regular husband wife & a so called stable 2 parent home for the kids & all their family n friends
Thank you! I was looking for this comment. I screamed, “THE NERVE!” when she was mad at the verdict and called him a sociopath like she wasn’t running point in this whole fiasco!
Only a woman can have an extramarital affair with a man accused of murdering their husband, and still portray themselves has a helpless victim.
Finally someone is calling her out. Straight trifling. The audacity even after the husband found out about it....she continued.
The wife is hollering about the verdict, calling her lover a psychopath or sociopath whatever she called him. To watch her in that scene you think she was an innocent bystander. She's the one who got this whole thing started. Yes, maybe the guy came on to her but she could have refused. She did not. If she truly valued her husband and her family I don't think she would have engaged in an extra marital affair.
" Am I under arrest?, Am I free to go?" Are the only words that should be spoken between anyone and a cop until an attorney is present. Period.
I’ve been in law enforcement for 33 years. I also happen to be a Paramedic who has given hundreds of patients Midazolam (Versed). To try and blame this guys death on that trace amount of midazolam in his system is criminal. I’ve given infants this drug to stop them from having a seizure. There is no way that he died from having midazolam in his system. Being in law enforcement, I have also seen how the prosecution picks and chooses what facts to present in their case. If a certain piece of evidence doesn’t help them, they omit it. Now look at what has happen to this dentist that many people loved. He’s in prison for having a fake CIA identification on his computer. Did he ever try to use it? They took away his ability to earn a living by taking his license from him. People wonder why nobody trusts law enforcement. Well, this is a perfect example. This guy went to prison for a crime that has no victim and he can’t work to provide for his family. Why? Because these detectives were wrong and didn’t want to admit it. Really sad.
Sleeping with your friend's wife, adultery, doesn't deserve any time? It might not be why he's sitting in prison but it's good that he's paying for the adultery.
"No victim?" How about the son, taking his life? If there was ANY victim, I'd say it's that boy.
Thank you for pointing that out. My anesthesiologist gives me Versed always before surgery…while I’m in the PAC-U because I get severe anxiety prior and I’ve had over 125 operations with anesthesia in the past 30 years (I have several autoimmune diseases… felt I should explain as I’ve had more operations that most ppl can believe). I also had to give my 2 year old son liquid versed 30 mins before his dental surgery. Then the doc gave him another dose when we arrived. All the little ones were “high” on it and they all survived.

The wife is the worst. Because of her selfishness, she destroyed a family unit, the death of her husband as well as the death of her son. Honestly, I think her outrage was more about her lover moving on with another woman than justice for her husband. No doubt she killed her husband by means of emasculation way before he died in that parking lot. So sad

As a NYer, the idea of folks from the DR falling to their knees in grief is really not unexpected. I don’t believe that the dentist did it and the cops come across as pretty lazy TBH.
The wife is a real piece of work talking about sociopathy lol - I guess it takes one to know one!
Finally, I can’t believe that the “headlight expert” was allowed to testify with that weak “science tells us” BS.
I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. Literally had all the same thoughts.
Cops had typical myopic view some people have of “that’s not my reaction so something must be wrong.”
Precisely. It’s also something people do. I did after I learned the deaths of my two best friends each time, at 21 & 28. You hear of people falling to the ground all the time.
"Trust the science...", yeah, that figure of speech seems to be popular these days...
We are at an age where quaks and politicians are preaching about science.
Head light recognition to identify a car is the definition of junk science lol
She was never worth it. My heart goes out to the kids that got dragged into all this heartache.
What a sweet daughter. Bless her heart
There is no way you could’ve proved with no reasonable doubt that guy was guilty, they should’ve looked more into the wife .
I've never seen the entire system hound someone so much. Jail time for $8000? judge was told to punish him for the not guilty verdict in any possible
How much love the son had for his father poor kid committed suicide ,so sad .
No he didn't it was murdered
What in the world did they both see in her?
It's what they didn't see; a lying sociopath.
she's cheating
Holes to put stuff in
Sex, lust .
😺
This whole story is beyond bizarre.
My thought, too. She's pathological.
True words
I think they were both covering for eachother to the very end.
Nunez was my late Grandmothers dentist for years. I remember how shocked and devastated she was when this case was happening.
I live in the area and Judge Williams pretty much always gave a severe sentence. He is incredibly biased, unfair, and had no issue displaying that openly in the courtroom. He is thankfully retired now
Yeah that judge seemed off.
He’s a POS who lets his personal feeling get involved in cases. Glad he’s retired.
Ya that seemed heartless and he will pay with God one day for the unfairness
Unfortunate junkies talking ? Judge's comment on that clowns character was spot on
With a friend like this who really needs enemies
On another note, this man is a piece of work. He calls this man "his best friend" even after he started an affair with his "best friend's" wife. With friends like this, who needs enemies?!
He is delusional
Later on in the video, he just calls him “a friend”, with a sniff at the end. Says a lot actually.
Guess why he hasn't much friends!!
Ever thought they were in an open marriage?
I thought that might be a possibility, but then why not say that. Why continue to refer to it as an affair if it wasn’t. The negative implications alone would be worth the change in word choice. I did wonder if perhaps they opened the marriage after the affair was revealed, but then it begs to question did he open it to keep his wife? or because he was really okay with it? Happens a lot unfortunately.
Look, if bite mark analysis is so unscientific that it isn't allowed in courtrooms, and lie detector tests are so unscientific that they aren't allowed in courtrooms, then headlight pattern analysis is a load of bull. That analyst didn't prove ANYTHING except that the shape of the car was consistent with Nunez's. I'm with the jury here: even if Nunez did it, they didn't prove that in court.
Who else had a motive to want Tom out of the way? The cheating wife of course. Is nobody going to question her at all? And her reaction in court is priceless.
Some pretty poor policing right there.
They did question her. She passed a polygraph.
@@jeremysmith9694 I told my friend how to pass a polygraph for an investigation into a license he had from info I learned off UA-cam, he passed with flying colors 😂
@@PenskePC17 so your friend cheated and lied to get a job?
@@jeremysmith9694 no, to not lose his license. He got fired from the job and had to go before the board of his profession over his certification and if they were going to revoke it. My point though was just that polygraph tests are really easy to beat.
@@jeremysmith9694 That is not evidence of innocence. Sociopaths can pass it.
The Wife/Mother has a lot of the responsibility here too.
Yup.
She's not the mother of Tom's kids, his first wife is.
How are people missing the fact that the MOTHER is the ex-wife (first wife) sitting next to the daughter in the interviews and that the WIFE was the one having the affair. Two totally different woman. It seems so very clear if you watch the episode.
After listening to thousands of people tell me stories as a mental health professional, as soon as I heard that 911 call, without knowing anything else, she’s exaggerating and lying and I don’t trust her at all. I think you have to be trained to hear certain things, but you don’t have to be trained to hear when certain things are missing. She’s clearly speaking that she’s upset and huffing and puffing and making sure they understand
So what’s missing is the confidence that the reason she’s calling is reason enough to be calling and she doesn’t have to over emphasize how upset she is. When you are so shocked that you can’t even think straight, you might sound very calm, but you don’t always have to sound super excited. And, when you’re that excited, you have a difficult time remembering things and she clearly remembers to say everything she needs to say. I don’t know how to put it but it’s not what she saying it’s what she’s not saying and what she’s not doing
How much life insurance did she get? She got out of her marriage got the life insurance, sole custody and victim status even though she wore the pants
True story
The 911 call reminds me of Patsy Ramsey.
I had the same question, how much was the insurance payout. Did that wife call the next day to get her check?
"...the affair was going well..." That's a new one.
😂😂😂
How could any sensible juror have been expected to find him guilty based on that tissue thin collection of "evidence"? The other/later charges seem to have been made in the spirit of "gotta get you for something" and I really question the quality of the detectives and prosecution.
Those new charges, while maybe true, were based on spite by the police and the prosecutor's office. I am curious...when did Linda stop sleeping with Gilberto?
I agree with this
Agree 100%
Totally agree! They always do that! They want to feel like they won somehow. It’s stupid.
@@sharonwheat3659 I agree with you 10000 percent. I was thinking the same. Plus who many people are 100 honest, please no body is perfect.
As a true crime obsessor That was one of the most intriguing stories I have ever watched.....literally
Lmao
Same here. I cannot decide if I believe that Nunez killed Tom or not... 🤦🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️ 🤔
It's interesting that he was later convincted if perjury, forgery and insurance fraud! 🙆🏻♀️
Intriguing? You mean "bizarre."
Craziest thing I've ever heard that you can identify a car by its headlights that's like saying cars have DNA now. My heart goes out to the families in this story.
I enjoy this little nugget of knowledge so much!
Junk science evidence that should have been excluded.
Why would you need enemies when you have best friends and wives like these 😂
So, they found madazolam in a kit, at a dentists home for emergencies, where it *belongs* in a labeled slot for it, *unopened* ? Come on now.
Headlight spread pattern? Can you imagine being convicted because of something like that? 🤦
Well that’s why the jury found him not guilty
He could have replaced one of the bottles.
@@tauresattauresa7137 sure, but "could have" isn't evidence.
@ tauresa ttauresa , if he replaced it, where is the expense record for the replacement?
yeah and the 'expert' saying low resolution to see if it was 100% the 'suspect's' car but then suddenly he could distinguish some freakin headlight patterns and come to the conclusion that indeed it was the dentist's car? thats ridiculous, and Tom's family? i feel sorry for them but they aren't the smartest tbh
the wife has a lot to answer for
That’s why she wouldn’t be interviewed for this program. She was completely out of control at the end of the trial!
Exactly
I assumed she was in jail until the end.anyway she has to live with the death of her husband who she betrayed and her son who she definitely made take his own life
@@smallies7154 Was not her son. She is the stepmom.
@@smallies7154 The wife sent Gil gifts for their cheating anniversary 😂. Since the husband Tom later knew and was fine with it, I will not call her infidelity a reason for Tom's death. Given that Gil and Tom were texting about football the day before the death, the lack of motive regarding being with the wife (he had her with the blessing of Tom) and if it's true that the police didn't traced Gil's phone to see if the phone was in the parking lot, then enough doubt exist to say he's not the killer. And maybe Tom didn't die because of homicide. But by natural causes.
Sweet Jillian! I hope she finds peace and happiness in her life. She's so innocent & doesn't deserve what she's been given! God bless her.
Linda was hoping Nunez will marry her that’s why she is upset
Her unfaithfulness cost her her family
Hearing about Bradley made the whole thing so much more tragic.
“I don’t have too many friends “. I’m not surprised
Maybe he means real friends, not just acquaintances like those superficial people Americans call "friends", ha? He's not American after all, and anyone who has two or three real friends can feel lucky!
Because he killed them all.😳
Real friends are very rare. Diamonds rare.
GILBERT: "I DON'T HAVE MANY FRIENDS" I can see why lmao 😂
From the moment Gil spoke, I felt he was innocent. I never believe the male is innocent in these episodes but I 100% feel that he is innocent.
Yeah. Gil was Tom's closest friend, and Tom was Gil's only best friend in Gil's opinion. I also agree with you about believing the male in these episodes is never innocent but I don't believe this is the case in this episode 👈🙂
I’m mad at the investigators. They kept trying to charge him with different things because they truly believed that he murdered his best friend. That’s bullying if nothing else.
RIP TO THE DAD AND BROTHER PRAYER'S FOR THE FAMILY.
If the mother would never have got info with that dentist none of this would have happen. She should lay down next to her husband and son it’s HER FAULT 99%
@@vo1134 She is the evil one imo.
prayers, not prayer's
religious crap anyway
This is what my phone does automatically sorry
@@cathymcglasson6947 And the excuse for spewing prayer crap?
Not enough evidence to convict whether he did it or not, it is the right verdict
Impersonating a CIA agent is "just one of those dumb things you do?" Then he writes a letter claiming to be his mother? This guy is a psychopath. Tom's daughter is courageous in her perseverance.
Exactly !
Definitely
And was found guilty in 2017 and was released in 2018 for that crime. That’s just great hey. This guy knew something!
Yeah what grown professional man does something like that? Sounds like something my ex husband would do..he is a pathological liar
Rest in power to the young man that took his own life. I'm so sorry you lost your dad.
he was a fool
@@profhortsunlover1536 That is a cruel thing to say to a young man who was heartbroken enough to end his life.
This comment really does the highlight the modern progressive obsession with power that they unironically replace "peace" with "power" and don't see how batshit crazy evil they sound.
I hope Mom is proud of herself.
If only he had asked for help. I do feel it was a bit selfish for him to leave his mom and sister behind. But then again I think the mom deserved it.
RIP Bradley😢 I’m so sorry for your loss Coleman’s♥️😢
Kolman
@@joanodom2104 thanks🙏🏽
Sometimes it’s the ones closest to you who betrays you in the worst ways
I'm gonna be honest, I don't think he did it. They had no real evidence that besides a few suspicious things, biggest thing they had being the car surveillance footage but even that was circumstantial. Yeah they found midazolam in his office but by their own admission it was all sealed and untouched in small quantities in an emergency kit. I feel like the wife or even possible suicide could have been more likely possibilities. I think it'd be easier to sneak out midazolam little by little unnoticed from a hospital than a dentist office that didn't use it. I feel they just zeroed in on this guy and ignored all other avenues of possible evidence and suspects refusing the idea they could be wrong.
I also think it could have been the wife conspiring and convinced by the doctor. Why is no one questioning why they were meeting that early in the morning🤔.....
I agree with you 100% !!!! Not once did any of the detectives mention that it could’ve been a possible suicide. I wonder if they ever checked the victim’s practice to see if he had any midazolam unaccounted for . His best friend’s DNA was no where inside or outside of the victim’s vehicle. I can’t believe that this case even WENT to trial in the first place 😱😱😱
That whole headlight thing was so subjective. I was hit (by a forklift) on my front headlight so I got a new one and it’s definitely brighter than the one my right side which is older so idk I feel like lights are also affected by the lighting around.
He DIDN'T DO IT!!! %100 FACT!! SHE got the PILLS, and GAVE THEM to Tom!!! Tom was a cuck! He "got off", while imagining his wife with Nunez...HE took the diazalam to get high...
You saw a 45 minute summary of the case. You actually in reality have NO idea what other avenues they explored. At least admit that.
I can relate to the children in the story, I lost my father when I was young and it was instantaneous. I buried my hurt deep inside and it ended up destroying my life, I am much older now and I only wished I would've spoken to someone about it. I tell this story so others that may find themselves in this situation will know to reach out and not do what I did, believe me talk to someone and do not do what I did, it will only end in suffering.
If you're married and have a family and a home and you have your health then you should be doing much better.
I lost all of that. I went through some similar things not due to homicide though, and you're right if you don't reach out for help it'll destroy you. It robbed me of an adult life.
I am sorry that the world doesn't make it more easy, more natural, for a man to talk about his pain.
Hugs to you
The cops are targeting him out of vindictive motives. This is horrible.
It’s definitely the wife. The email from a dating website on his phone, pants unzipped? He was definitely getting something but his wife found out and killed him. She wanted to be the only one allowed to cheat. The crocodile tears in court and her being so angry is a manifestation of losing her husband and her lover
I agree. The wife did it
I usually think suspects are always guilty, but not in this case. It’s pretty clear, like the juror said, he died of an enlarged heart. I know a 16 year old who died from that as well.
I've watched this episode at least
3x. I believe he did it, he legally got away with it. He was fortunate enough that certain circumstances played in his favor like the unclear resolution of the vehicle's image. It's no "coincidence" though, that the general description of the vehicle in the image just so happened to be similar to his. It's one of those cases where the totality of evidence may not be a slam dunk but you know the person's guilty. That dental drug found in Tom's autopsy report was the most damning for me
@Тоня Заліська I also believe he did it! however, it's easy for a lot of people to be fooled. This comment section proves that
A friend of mine in high school, 16 like you said, died from a heart disease.
I went to school with Wes Leonard and he's the one that died from an enlarged heart after the winning basket. Just dropped like a sack of potatoes. It does happen
The pain in the daughters face every time she spoke was gut wrenching. Prayers for that family
They wanted to get him for anything , they feel he’s guilty so they are looking for anything . An insurance claim from 2014.....wow. They cleared the wife from a lie detector as well. Wow . Such a sad story .
I Wonder can he ever practice again.. it said his license was revoked
The forgery and perjury charges smell like police payback. This was not even a case. Headlights???? FFS

@@melanieomer9186 he did it
I'm with you! Such a weak case and then digging for anything they could find next
If wife were to nick midazolam from her workplace she would make sure records were correct. If there is a patient who has midazolam on a chart, she can skip their dose and take drug for herself. If there is a system where all empty bottles and ampulles are counted (this is how they do it at my mum's hospital), she could have transfered solution to another container using syringe and return the empty bottle for counting. There are always ways around hospital rules, especially when co-workers trust each other.
Police should have searched the house.
As someone who studied organic chemistry in college, theobromine is something they need to look into. It can be toxic to humans in high doses. The labwork stated here only states he was 'positive' for the alkaloid, but not how much was in his system. Theobromine is a plant-based alkaloid deriving from cacoa. Which means, he could have either eaten enough chocolate to register the alkaloid in his blood stream - which would be tough to do, OR - he was given the theobromine in a large dose. Perhaps in his coffee? Notice he's also positive for caffeine in his labwork. The dentist would know this also since he would have had to study organic chemistry prior to dental school as well as it's a prerequisite for basically any of the professional degrees, his included. Theobromine is known to cause such low blood pressure that it stops the heart in high doses. Of course how he got midazolam is a mystery, but why he would have enough theobromine in his system should have also been explored.
......... you, who took organic chemistry in college like most of us, think you have this figured out or like you can teach toxicologists and medical examiners? Smh
Pre-workout choc shake?
@@IXcircle I went to pharmacy school. I think I know what I’m talking about. And by the way - most people do NOT take organic chemistry. They may take a chemistry 101 course, but organic is advanced chemistry in every way and usually only people going into the advanced medical professions take the org 1 and 2 classes. SMH back atcha
@@slapeters2004 I have a bachelors degree in Economics and an MBA and I can testify that I have not taken any chemistry class in undergrad or grad school. You're right.
You don't learn enough in undergrad organic chemistry to automatically know that.
The jury did the right thing. There wasn’t enough evidence
Yeah, the car and the shenanigans he did were suspicious but not a proof of homicide.
Indeed. I'm of the opinion that it's more likely than not that he did it but that it wasn't provable beyond a reasonable doubt.
I have _severe_ sleep apnea and have overdosed many times on midazolam-type drugs. I'm still here.
It's obvious somebody in the DA really hates Nuñez. They're throwing the book at him.
@@eustab.anas-mann9510 Also what are the chances that Nunez even knew he had sleep apnea to give him what equates to 5mg of midozolam, I found the court records as a medical professional I can absolutely tell you that 5mg of that benzo has 0 chance of causing severe respiratory depression.
I am heartbroken for his daughter. She has a look of despair, as if to be giving up (like her brother) for having to carry this burden in her soul..., I was ecstatic when she said that she lives each day for her brother and for his memory.
Way too many Nit even man can clean up
they didn’t check the victims house are you serious??! they let the wife go after passing a polygraph test which is notorious for being faulty? oh boy oh boy
