LIVE TRIAL: CA v. Robert Durst Murder Trial - Murder of Friend Susan Berman
Witness: Ruth Mayer - Psychologist - Friend of Kathie Durst
Robert Durst stands trial for the 2000 murder of friend Susan Berman. The trial began just before the pandemic in early 2020 and was halted two weeks in. The restart happened May 17, 2021, with the same jury panel.
The defendant’s wife Kathleen McCormack Durst went missing in 1982. Evidence and testimony would show that Robert Durst killed her, the prosecutor said. The defendant allegedly told Berman it was an accident and asked her for help. She served as his alibi.
Berman, 55, was shot execution-style at her Beverly Hills home in 2000, and the prosecution suggested that it was because of what she knew about Kathleen’s death and disappearance. As defense lawyer Dick DeGuerin would have it, however, Durst is innocent. His client only came across the body, panicked, and fled, he maintained.

Short answer? Money. Durst can afford to pay enough for attorneys that are willing to embarrass themselves acting petty and childish in court.

@alexjofdeci 3 жыл бұрын

So, if the defence states always that:"would you agree with me that your memory was better 35 hears before IN THE REPORTE, than it is now" it is something I don't agree. Because, the report of a detective might had been uncorrect. Not the recorded statements of course. So what's the meaning of the present of a witness right now? I can remember many things in my life, in detail when they are significant to me, before a lot of years, yes , in detail! The defence in those stamens or questions has the reports. OK. But here we have a wittnes and if is certain that a report is false at something, we have to respect the witness!!!

The prosecution is being aggressive to their own witnesses.. not a good look for them

@jackfitzpatrick8173 3 жыл бұрын

It's not aggression...it's attention to detail.This is a tough case...at least partially because it involves events that occurred almost 40 years ago. And now a man who's clearly in his 70s...and maybe even 80s...is being asked "40 years ago did you tell Officer Smith that you had a hamburger on 1/31/82?" The bottom line is that his wife knew something about the Durst Organization...and disappeared. The vagrant caught him on a bad day and he was dismembered (they still haven't found his head). And Berman knew things about the wife and she was shot in the back of the head. But you'd think that he'd at least learn how to spell Beverly.
