Gilberto Nunez, a Poughkeepsie man who was accused of murder, will share his side of the story Saturday on CBS's "48 Hours."

Nunez, a Kingston-based dentist, was accused of killing Thomas Kolman on Nov. 29, 2011, but he was acquitted by a jury in Ulster County Court in June. Nunez was found guilty of two counts of second-degree possession of a forged instrument, a felony.

In the segment, titled "Death and the Dentist," "Nunez talks openly about the love triangle at the heart of a murder case that thrust him into headlines and exposed a twisted tale of deceit, family secrets and more," according to a press release from CBS.

The episode will air at 10 p.m. Saturday on CBS.
