He's an evil rich dumbass. Some broke joker pulling the exact same shite in Galveston is sitting in Huntsville waiting to get the needle.
Also consider how easy it was for the cops to identify and catch durst in Galveston. His money is the only "genius" in that caper.

I'm not condoning murder- but how can people say he's "pure evil"?
We have no knowledge that he's killed anyone other than these 3 people. Like someone else stated- they all were sort of sink or swim situations. It's not like he was killing for fun, he was killing for purpose.
I don't agree with it- but I also don't see how things can be so black/white to people.
If you kill a soldier in battle to survive- you're a hero. If you kill someone for your own sake- you're evil. Neither deceased person deserved to die. In war it's "kill or be killed" and in his situation it wasn't as dire, but it was "kill or have your life ruined".
I see his murders as a selfish act, one commited by someone with little human empathy, but evil? I'd say that's a stretch.

Whatever you want to call it but divorce isn't life or death, not sink or swim, not even "life ruined"...it was a crime of passion if you will, which is just selfishness, narcissism. "Normal" people don't do that. The other situations all stem from that act, it's not comparable to a soldier.

To kill your wife or shoot your supposed "best friend and confidant" in the back of the head, execution style, is pretty evil in my book. I've hated people in my life, but I've never considered murdering them. These are people he supposedly loved. You don't kill people just because they are "in the way".

This.
Plus anyone that murders someone and then dismembers their body is a sick twisted evil person. I can't even fathom chopping someone's body into pieces.

Can any lawyers chime in if the documentary is admissible in court, can they actually show the footage to attempt incrimination?

That was his dumbest move, I have already posted about that. He is a true narcissist, that doesn't make him dumb. He has always been "been above" the rest.
Not stupid, just meeting a person who could not be influenced my his wealth. Even his lawyer's were of course.

The admission at the end will likely get in. Defense lawyers will argue there's no proof that the words were said by Bob Durst. We don't see him saying these things. And the "confession" wasn't discovered until 2 years after it was recorded.
But, in all likelihood, it's gonna be admissible.

His lawyers weren't duped by his genius, they just did the job they were hired to do...there's is only evidence of a bumbling idiot with the resources to get himself out of trouble.
And you are correct, he is a narcissist and that trait doesn't alone make him dumb. He's just a relatively intelligent, educated narcissist who did some stupid things in the course of murdering 3 people.

Posted by yurintroubl on 3/16 at 6:37 pm to glassman Gave me a chill knowing that sick bastard was creeping around New Orleans for however long. I've walked pretty much every part of the city with confidence despite whatever crime and horror stories have been bantered about over the years... but somehow THAT guy being down there gave me a little wigguns.
I know what you mean. He has a place here in Houston and has spent a lot of time in Houston over the years. He was in Houston just before driving over to New Orleans. It just creeped me out even though I am more at risk from the common criminal. Don't know why but it gave me the chills.

Just got a notice on my phone that Louisiana is going to charge him with weapon and drug possession.

They were equally as smart, just blinded by money. They did the job they were hired to do and what the court required of them. I have zero against his attorney's. They were just doing their jobs. He should have taken their advice and not done the show, but his personality wouldn't allow him to say no.
It is a truly fascinating account of exploring a true sociopath's mind. Some of the best stuff I have ever seen.

That was obviously a crazy finish, Bob sure doesn't look very innocent. That being said, unless they can find evidence that puts him closer than San Francisco, which is six hours away (one can drive from NY to DC and half way back in that time), they are going to have a hard time convicting him against the type of legal team that Bob will have.

Equally as smart? They were the only smart people.
Do you know any criminal attorneys? They're hired guns, they don't have to believe in their client.
You just want to call him smart with no basis.

Actually - His second wife struck me as probably the smartest person in the whole film.

I think the defense will likely argue that Durst was in Los Angeles; that he was in Susan's home; and that he did write the anonymous letter.
They will argue that Durst went to her home because he was her friend. He discovered her dead body, but he didn't kill her. He freaked out after finding her body because he figured the cops would point the finger at him, so he wrote the letter to police. He wanted her body to be found so he wrote the letter - but he didn't kill her, is what they will likely argue.

But why didn't get say that from jump?- says the prosecution
And he said in an earlier interview that whoever sent that letter is the killer.

I bet her son knows more than he's saying. Something that he perceived as an innocent detail at the time... You could see the look on his face that his stomach had just dropped when he saw that envelope in his mom's stuff.
