More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: This article is more a fawning paean from a radical-left admirer than an objective biography. It would be more accurate to call Gilbert a "convicted felon" than a "prisoner," and the author seems to be downplaying and/or misunderstanding the significance of the felony murder rule. In the eyes of the law, Gilbert is no less a murderer of those three guards than the gang members who pulled the triggers. The impression is created that the murder of those guards was simply the result of overeager but nonetheless dedicated revolutionaries, and was simply part of the broader context of Gilbert's righteous battle against the forces of evil capitalism. Tell their families that. And comparisons to another's sentence for supposedly similar crimes is of no significance. (edit)

There is much more info on the "crimes" committed on the Kathy Boudin page. If anyone wants to move it here, feel free. --Fermatprime 03:58, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

What about David Gilbert, the WCBS reporter?

I *think* David Gilbert who is the subject of this article is David J. Gilbert (so the New York Times called him in an article about radical lawyer Lynn Stewart). So if you can get the TV/radio guy's middle initial and want to write an entry for him we could differentiate the entries.

Among the other David Gilberts there is also the New York-based fiction writer David Gilbert. He wrote the novel The Normals and the short story collection Remote Feed.

There is also David Gilbert, the creator of JFreeChart, a widely used open source Java class library for generating charts. Luzian 22:19, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

The first line says 'murderer'. Is getting convicted of manslaughter the same thing as getting convicted for murder? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shmooth (talk • contribs) 23:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
