LIVE COVERAGE: Robert Durst Testifies Live For The Murder of Friend Susan Berman
Trial Day 52
Cross Exam Day 8
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.

Thought the part where Lewin hit him with plans to kill Gilberta and Douglas was some of the best of the two weeks of this never ending cross. Durst was lost, overwhelmed. 32:33 he’s speechless. Beautiful.

As a side note i believe this selective hearing by Durst (i watched the majority of his testimony with his lawyer and he didnt seem to have the same level of deafness) is a ploy to make cross so long winded that the jury switches off. With a character like Durst i believe the prosecutor is doing an amazing job ... and he definitely has more patience than i do !!

Why do I have a sick fascination with Durst? I'd like to have a conversation with him. It's interesting that he had a tick where he blinked he eyes in his earlier years. Maybe he has some sort of autism or OCD. But on the stand we don't see that tick. I'm drawn to old people because they have a lot of stories to tell.

@jennifermariejoyce 2 жыл бұрын

He had those facial tics horribly in the Jinx. He claimed to have been on meth, which I believe. He was grinding his teeth and his face was contorting all over the place. He’s a weird and fascinating dude.

@toriesepahmd6468 2 жыл бұрын

Tic disorders aren’t caused by methamphetamines but can be exacerbated by them. Having said that, tic disorders are most often present as comorbidities of other neuropsychiatric diagnoses, namely OCD as well as autism spectrum disorders. It is very likely that he is being treated with a medication (either a low dose of an atypical antipsychotic which is the first line treatment for tic disorders (doesn’t involve treating any psychosis but rather the pathways involved are dopaminergic which is the primary pathway mitigating movement). Conversely, he may be treated with gapapentin which could also reduce the tics, but also increase speech latency which we are seeing. Lastly, abn movements of the extra ocular muscles of the face can also occur during rapid cessation of a particular class of medications (withdrawal dyskinesia). For example, if he had been prescribed quetiapine for off off label use to ‘sleep’ which many users of methamphetamine utilize to come down, then abruptly stopped, you could see rapid, involuntary movements of the extra ocular muscles bilaterally.

I found this for you “Only use cross examination for the introduction of exhibits, however, when an opposing witness is the only one able to lay the proper foundation for an exhibit. Admitting exhibits during cross examination is difficult and should be avoided if possible.” There are looser rules for cross examination. Lots and lots of documents and articles online about it.

He is full of hubris, that is unchecked, especially by this judge who has allowed one of the most egregious deviations from a fair trial in recent history. The Judge-I’m not sure what to say…after allowing 38 hrs of a cross examination which actually made Lewin look like he was grasping at straws, he warned him that he had to wrap it up, then he let him keep going. He also made very biased comments on Friday. Like it or not and despite how we may feel, we live in America and as such, still have a constitution-last I checked it wasn’t written by Andrew Jarecki or Lewin.
