contaminated. what are you thinking when you hear that? well, i m thinking a couple things. i m thinking, that s gonna be a problem at trial because of the contamination. but i m also thinking, thank god, we get a little break. and after all the additional testing, the medical examiner finally had a cause of death, acute midazolam poisoning. investigators took everything they had to a special prosecutor and argued they were sure gilberto nunez had killed the man he called his best friend. i don t think that nunez was ever a friend to kolman. not for a minute do i believe that. he is a master manipulator. he lives to manipulate. i believe he drew tom in because he wanted to be closer to the wife and have access to the wife. nearly four years after tom s death, gilberto nunez was indicted for second-degree murder. how did that feel when you got that news? i cried. we all cried pretty hard. it felt good in cha we re one step closer to justice for tom. but tough times were
we were playin his game so that he wouldn t kill himself over the holidays. so yeah, it was just a dirty, stupid game. the defense set out to dismantle the rest of the prosecution s case point by point. all that business about the cia they said was more like a joke, hardly criminal. and irrelevant to the charge of second degree murder. and there was ample evidence that gilberto cared too much about tom to ever hurt him. tom kolman and gilberto nunez were best friends. did spend time together. did make plans. did talk about going into a business together. there was no motive whatsoever for this alleged murder. they stressed that none of the physical evidence linked gilberto to the crime scene. no dna, no fingerprints. as for that internet search for the word midazolam , the defense pointed out anyone in the office could have done it and they believed it revealed very little.
he was friends with both of you? strangely enough, they still continued to be friends. that is so hard to grasp. i know it is. but they did. they cared, they cared about each other. they were, like, buddies. tom would invite him over for sunday dinners. i know it sounds nuts. yeah. i know it does. you ve been taking mental health meds, and your mind is finally in a better place. except now you have uncontrollable body movements called tardive dyskinesia td. and it can seem like that s all people see. some meds for mental health can cause abnormal dopamine signaling in the brain. while how it works is not fully understood, ingrezza is thought to reduce that signaling. ingrezza is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with td movements in the face and body. people taking ingrezza can stay on their current dose of most mental health meds. don t take ingrezza if you re allergic to any of its ingredients. ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including sleepiness. do
kids away for the weekend. i think it was really that weekend that i realized that i just want i just wanna be with my husband. [light laughter] he s my best friend. i love him. i don t want i don t wanna do this anymore. i ve been stupid and foolish and ridiculous and it s i don t wanna do it anymore. you chose tom? i chose tom. a couple of weeks later, it was thanksgiving. still on friendly terms, gil shared the holiday with tom, linda and their family. monday, linda met with gil alone, but decided to postpone telling him their affair was over. what was that discussion like with gilberto? what did you tell him? the holidays are here. we have all these kids. like, we can t you know? after the holidays. and he was, like, okay, i ll wait for your decision, you know? do you think he knew?
far from a united front. tom s parents still weren t speaking to linda and tom s daughter, jillian, had limited contact with her while in town for the trial. i just knew i had to be there for as much of it as i could be. i needed that closure and i wanted to hear everything that i wasn t being told for all those years. gil s supporters were also there his new wife, employees and several loyal patients. zach sklar was one of them. why did you feel the need to be there? we live in a society where you re innocent until proven guilty. i saw nothing that would lead me to believe that this could possibly be true. and so i went there to support him, to show him particularly because he is dominican in a very white area, that there are people who will support him. but the prosecution s case would be difficult for gil s friends to hear. the state s theory, gil killed tom because he wanted linda all to himself.
