Robert Durst Testifies in His Own Defense On Day 41 For The Murder Of Friend Susan Berman Pt 2

With the release of The Jinx Part 2 let's take a look back at the Robert Durst Trial. LIVE TRIAL: CA v. Robert Durst Murder Trial - Murder of Friend Susan Berman
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 on 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.

So manipulative, he knows exactly what he's doing. He's whip smart when it suits him, and can't comprehend what's going on when it suits him. Awful.

Totally agree with you. I am in my house a man as Mr. Durst. He is like a lamb, his voice is calm and addictive, he knows very well how to use the words for spelling my brain. Outside, in society is a real gentleman, distant but charming and women feels that he is so protective and good as a partner. But, he became mad! when i don't respect his line! For everything he became aggressive and could be a killer if he looses his control. Never, any woman can escape alive from the hands of this kind a man, if he is involved in a love relation with. He can hsve thousands love affairs but his woman must do what he say, what he decide for their common life. I am understanding totally Mr. Durst. He never want be "used". It is difficult to explain this. He need control all. Mr. Dursr considers that he payed too much money to these people who were killed. He loves to tell us the story of his life as he consider to be his truth.

@thisiscait 3 жыл бұрын

Mr Durst, as abhorrent as he is, has the right to speak regardless of the length of trial, as does any defendant (though most are advised not to) - Likely to appeal to the jury's empathy toward his poor health, and knowing they can get away with letting more information slip due to his hearing problems, even if it's struck from record it still leaves an impression on the jury, it's super frustrating, and boy do I feel for the jury after months of trial. The judge behaves similarly in the other cases of his that are available to watch, he doesn't pander to wasting time or unnecessary repetition.

DeGuerin on the other hand, although a truly talented defense attorney, is too personally involved w/Durst to see him clearly. His personal friendship & long history w/Durst has clouded his ability to see him for who he is. Just keep in mind as you watch Durst- He doesn’t have the same feelings & emotions that you & I have. He never has. He’s simply incapable of placing himself in another’s shoes & having empathy for others. But he learned long ago, by watching others, how to appear “socially acceptable”, what to say when he’s in a situation where he needs to appear “normal”. He’s a master manipulator & spent the past several years behind bars preparing for this performance. Almost a yr before trial, he began losing weight & then shortly before trial resumed, he had his hair shaved off, to allow the jury to see his shunt. This is all part of his desire to appear sick, frail & harmless. I only hope the jury isn’t fooled by his charade.
