(Ed/'s Note: He turned in a sterling performance when a Corpus Christi jury acquitted Cameron County Tax Assessor-Collector on 23 counts, distinguished himself before the bar when he botched the Marco Antonio Gonzalez case, first with a mistrial, then with acquittals on capital murder and homicide charges.
Then, when he had a slam-dunk case on nine aggravated assault charges against him for shooting it out with the cops at a six-hour standoff, he managed to yank a defeat from the jaws of victory and botched the jury charge that resulted in Gonzalez receiving five years, and will probably be free soon because it included time served.
For that, and for many more reasons, Asst. D.A. Peter Gilman won the Cameron County District Attorney's Office Employee of the Month Award. Competition was fierce, with Asst. D.A. Gus Garza coming in a close second. Congrats, Pete!)

Gilman is incompetent and we should ask why Luis Saenz hired him and allowed this asshole to prosecute these big cases.
Was it him or the investigators that handed him the case who are responsible?
The investigation into the tax office was botched from the beginning. Starting with the reason the investigation was brought forth, not to mention the sloppy ass investigator Olivares that did not know the laws pertaining to dealer transfers. Luis's theories and mere speculations were not enough to find in of the several tax office employees that were arrested GUILTY. DPS Trooper Olivares, Luis Saenz, ADA Peter Gilman, and the slew of other agencies involved should have some form of repercussions taken against them for the hell they put these families through and the overwhelming amount of money blown on this case. Keep your political agendas out of the courthouse Mr. DA
You and the other incompetent individuals who participated should publicly apologize for your major SCREW UP!!
Major EMBARRASSMENT to our county
To the 3:57 PM Comment!!!!
Obviously you don’t know Mr. Gilman. He is respected among many including myself. He is the definition of the meaning of humble. I have not only had the pleasure of working with him but also have worked on the other side against him when he was a defense attorney. He has always been professional and true to his word.
To be honest the case was rushed and he was handed the case to present it. It is not his fault, he was just doing what he was instructed to do.
Gilman is a great man and doesnt deserve the BS.......
@2/15/17 4:21 pm. From the lousy incompete investigators to the DA prosecuting this case are responsible.
Great man??? Let's ask his brothers in-law puente brothers and their business. Of course he's good to you. Both make a lot of money out of innocent.
If you said Guillman is a humble man and has ethic, why went along with it ? if he knew they did not have a solid case , Pendejo !
What ever happened to the case of his step daughter? Why didn't guilman and da prosecute her????
Crooked lawyer
Lazy, crooked, apparently doesn’t care if there isn’t dollar signs in it for him. How dare he practice. Watch The State of Texas VS Melissa. Nobody is perfect but this man blatantly let her be found guilty. What lawyer.
Lazy and a crook!! Look at the State of Texas vs Melissa. Watch his interview, I really can't believe they let him practice law. Just another disgusting attorney!!
From what I got from him speaking in that movie/documentary ….worst lawyer ever on the planet earth literally working for the other side to put his own clients in jail
This man did an injustice to Melissa Lucio and his incompetence put her on death row. Shame on him and shame on Cameron County for continuing to employ him after the release of this documentary. He doesn’t care and should be investigated.
He ought to be disbarred. It’s a shame he calls himself an attorney and it’s so unfortunate that he’s a TMSL alum, he brings shame to the great name of Thurgood Marshall. Texas needs to take his license and follow that up with a criminal investigation and place him in jail. Immediately.
How is this crooked lawyer still employed?! He’s gotta go! Melissa Lucia has gone through all of this because this man hid the truth. He really does need to be tried and put in jail. This should have never happened to Melissa!
What a sorry human being!! Peter Gilman.
He is a terrible person, he deserves to be in jail. Putting an innocent mom in Prison on the death penalty when he has proof she was innocent but told her daughter to keep quite and not say anything. Lets all rise up for Melissa Lucio because this piece of shit ruined everything for her. I hope she gets out
