- With the release of The Jinx Part 2 let's take a look back at the Robert Durst trial. It’s a case years in the making. Robert Durst, 76, stands trial for the murder of longtime friend Susan Berman, 55. Prosecutors say he shot her at her Beverly Hills home on December 23, 2000, shortly after New York state authorities reopened an investigation into the 1982 disappearance of his wife Kathie McCormack Durst. Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. Openings are set to begin Wednesday, March 4 at 12 p.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET, but there is no live stream. Law&Crime will carry portions of the trial on a delay. You can watch in the player above.
The Berman case is tied indelibly to Kathie Durst’s disappearance, and 2001 slaying of the defendant’s neighbor Morris Black. Both incidents will play at a role at this trial. For example, the state is allowed to present evidence the defendant made his wife have an abortion.
Then there’s the matter of Black’s death. Robert Durst moved to Galveston, Texas after Berman’s murder, where he admittedly killed Black while posing as a mute woman in the Lone Star State. Prosecutors over there charged him with murder, but his defense successfully got him acquitted after arguing the shooting happened as a matter of self-defense. Nonetheless, Durst was convicted of dismembering the body.
All told, decades passed but Durst dodged actual homicide charges despite widespread suspicion. That changed in 2015, when he was arrested for the Berman murder in New Orleans. Incidentally, it was right around the premiere of the HBO docuseries The Jinx. In the last episode, he apparently confessed to murder while on a hot mic, but his defense has said that his statements were edited out of order.
I think the laughter is just nervous relief, don't you? It's very intense. Bob's has had everyone jumping to his tune for 4 decades. He's impacted so many lives and not in a good way. I would otherwise agree.
I don't know this guy or have I ever even seen him but from what I know he seems the best one out of the bunch. For all the money in the world I wouldn't want anything to do with this family. R.I.P Beautiful Kathie.
Judge “so just to clarify he was angry”
😂😂😂

Very disappointed that I can't see the faces.
All this laughter and joking seem very inappropriate for a trail of a man that killed 3 people and dismembered one.
totally thought the same thing!!
*trial
True the atmosphere is relaxed but the legal procedures are accurate. Judges are individuals. I think he's trying to temper the tension and intensity between counsels.
I think that the laughter is a natural tension release stemming from the utter darkness of this case, and this defendant.
I wish there were more ads.
Lol. Is that a "Bobism"? Dry wit?
Fastforward to the very end then replay no ads
Hahahaha
@@sativarosegold3604 gonna have to try that.
This judge is an Alan Watts devotee: life is a game, and should be treated as such. Live, Love, and Laugh.
I received a notification from this subscription, two actually.... To find you Removed The video.....
If your going to modify the video, have RESPECT for ur viewers!! SMH
I don't think I've ever seen a trial with this many witnesses.
He’s ensuring that they get a “guilty” verdict this time. He’s not leaving anything to chance😎
Yeah, none of us have.
It does span close to 40 years.
are they gonna be no video for the rest of the trial? did they end them for the corona or some other reason?
for some reason the judge only allowed video and audio for the Opening statements, closing statements and the verdict. The rest of the trial will be audio only.
wonder if they will arrest him for Kathy after this trial
Wow , they did long ago
Stephanie Holmea No, he wasn’t arrested for Kathy, just his neighbor
I’m sure this is on the to-do list.
These squeaky chairs are annoying!!!
Not to mention Lewin's aggressive page flippings and lip smacking.

Rhombohedral and 1:09:34 omg 😳 😩 I was like 😮 whoa wth nuts 🥜 all of them
Try imagining what it would have done to your emotional well-being if you, the youngest of the pack, had been trapped, and unable to escape, from Seymour, his suicidal wife, and Robert, the homicidal maniac. He got out as soon as he could.
really going to drill the specifics of memory on this trial
“Objection, unresponsive.”
Poor judge and prosecutor “I think she *is* trying to respond” - she’s just completely incapable of stringing words together in a coherent way to make two or more connected sentences.
Has Thomas got learning disabilities
Do you know if the other brother Doug to testify? I'm caught up on current trial and now watching what happened a year ago...maybe they will say so in this clip. Haven't listened yet. What a crazy trial!
Yep, Bonkers The Lot Of Em
Why they are laughing?? What is this?? USA what is wrong with your justice system!!
Just like a comedian can't joke about contemporaneous tragedies....so much time has passed that the laughter isn't so offensive as it would be in the 80s, 90s, or the first decade of the new millineum.
@@lesliedavis3490 They aren’t making light of any of the crimes or victims. It’s natural for humans to release tension through laughter, and this is one serious, and dark case.
They actually teach lawyers to lighten the mood on occasion because they need to connect to the jury and make sure they’re not mired in unpleasant information non-stop. It’s also an incredibly normal psychological reaction. “Gallows humor” is also incredibly normal, and this isn’t even gallows humor. This is finding levity in unrelated things.
