Nunez
KINGSTON – Gilberto Nunez, of Poughkeepsie, the Kingston dentist, was found guilty by an Ulster County Court jury on Thursday of perjury, offering a false instrument for filing and making an apparently false statement. The conviction stems from his making false statements on a pistol permit application.
Nunez, 49, faces up to 2-1/3 to seven years in state prison on each count of grand larceny and insurance fraud and a maximum term of 1-1/3 to four years on each of the five counts of falsifying business records.
At trial, prosecutors argued that Nunez had perjured himself when he indicated he had not ever been terminated or discharged from employment or from military service for cause.
In 1990, he had been discharged from the Marines under “other than
honorable conditions.” Nunez had gone AWOL eight days into his first
duty tour with the Marines.
Nunez had previously been convicted of two counts forged instrument,
after a previous jury before Judge Donald Williams back in June. He faces
up to 2-1/3 to seven years in prison for each of those convictions.
It was proven at that trial that Nunez had possessed, with intent to defraud, a forged CIA ID card and a forged letter purportedly from the CIA.
Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler’s Office was appointed as special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute the charges which wee subject of three trials.
Nunez is expected to be sentenced in Ulster County Court on February 7, 2017 in connection with all the charges. He is being held without bail in the Ulster County Jail.
