NY millionaire Robert Durst guilty of best friend’s murder

The documentary "The Jinx" on HBO is a great watch about Robert Durst.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — A Los Angeles jury convicted Robert Durst on Friday of murdering his best friend 20 years ago, a case that took on new life after the New York real estate heir participated in a documentary that connected him to the slaying that was linked to his wife’s 1982 disappearance.
Durst, 78, was not in court for the verdict from the jury that deliberated about seven hours over three days. He was in isolation at a jail because he was exposed to someone with coronavirus.
Durst, who faces a mandatory term of life in prison without parole when sentenced Oct. 18, was convicted of the first-degree murder of Susan Berman. She was shot at point-blank range in the back of the head in her Los Angeles home in December 2000 as she was prepared to tell police how she helped cover up his wife’s killing.
quote:
The conviction marks a victory for authorities who have sought to put Durst behind bars for murder in three states. Durst was never charged in the disappearance of his wife, who has never been found, and he was acquitted of murder in Galveston, Texas, where he admitted dismembering the victim’s body and tossing it out to sea.
The story of Durst, the estranged scion of a New York real estate developer, has been fodder for New York tabloids since his wife vanished. He provided plot twists so numerous that Hollywood couldn’t resist making a feature film about his life that eventually led to the documentary and discovery of new evidence in Berman’s slaying.
Durst ran from the law multiple times, disguised as a mute woman in Texas and staying under an alias at a New Orleans hotel with a shoulders-to-head latex mask for a presumed getaway. He jumped bail in Texas and was arrested after shoplifting a chicken sandwich in Pennsylvania, despite having $37,000 in cash — along with two handguns — in his rental car.
The documentary "The Jinx" on HBO is a great watch about Robert Durst.

Yes. It's such a fascinating story due to his wealth, connections, and sheer craziness.

Any relation to Fred? Not a friend of a friend but a baw with the baw.

I knew a cab driver here in town that Durst hired at Starbucks to be his jury consultant he had the job for over a year paid him like 8 grand a month
only when the family took control of the estate that they stopped paying him

WTF? Dude is legit nuts. Glad he is going to prison finally but at 78 and in poor health it sort of defeats the purpose.

Guess murder is illegal again in California

He's killed 3 people for sure. I know there were some missing girls around his little small town so I wonder what his real total was.

HBO documentary.
Hearing at the end was a big WTF and then you find out the dude was arrested the very next day.
Very surreal. To compare to something more modern it would have been like that bitch Carol Baskins getting immediately arrested after Tiger King came out.

Him on the hot mic at the end was definitely an all time moment.

It was very much a “wait, what?” Moment.
the news of him getting arrested the next day was incredibly surreal.
