- CA v. Robert Durst Murder Trial - Murder of Friend Susan Berman
Witness:
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.

This is the craziest trial I’ve ever seen.
crooked friends the convict has
Never, in the history of mankind, have so many words been used to convey so few coherent thoughts.
😝 haha… omg
Yes, your boy Lewin is quite verbose.
Hahahaha!!!!
Is this creep of a friend being paid off to be vague and unresponsive? What a joke
There's vague and then there's Obstruction and Perjury. He's under oath.
I don’t know how the attorney kept from screaming at him. 🤦🏼♀️
@@karenpayne2583 “I’ll try to dumb it down for you.” Lewin destroyed this witness.
I can't get enough of this guy! He might be the most ridiculous and obtuse "minor witness" to ever take the stand in a trial. 😆
He has no investment in what durst did so he finds this questioning ridiculous.
Absolutely!!!!
Well… he has no trouble understanding and remembering DeGuerin’s questions!
Exactly.
I can see now, he’s watching his attorney talking to the defense attorneys and he’s trying to read into what his attorney wants him to say or rather not say.
Precisely. You don’t get to his level of wealth in the real estate world if you’re literally dumber than dirt or senile, the only other explanations for his ridiculous behavior on the stand.
@@maryb6672 right, I get it now, thank you for your insight.
@@maryb6672 could have been inheritance, or he is once heck of an actor
Hostile witness, is an understatement!!
More like hostile Lewin
Bet Durst is paying for his lawyer too
@@tracywendover8104 His lawyers are being paid enough to retire after this case
@@elizabethross-watson9792 Durst has paid for all of his "friends" lawyers
He reminds me of a lying teenager 🤦🏻♀️
He reminds me of someone who might bury a body in the pine barrens.
He's clearly trolling 😆
Interesting when he remembered for the defence and not the prosecutor
Tell me you know your mate committed murder without telling me you know your mate committed murder
This witness is good as a influencer! The number of viewers is increasing.
This witness is impossible and a clown 🤣🤣🙃🥶🥵🥴😱
This is gonna be more Goodfellas goodness...I wish every witness would give Lewin the runaround 😃😃😃
lol
Bet this prosecutor hit the bar for a drink that eve.
Doubt it, too square.
Amazing how Oliver suddenly doesn't have any problem with hearing or understanding the questions when defense starts cross. Amazing.
Because DeGuern doesn't ask confusing, unintelligible, and compound questions.
@@jonnieinbangkok No. Because he is Bobby's friend who is covering for him.
could be because the prosecutor can't ask one fact per question.
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 this is the definition of a hostile witness, he cant be as stupid as he comes off. the judge already said his credibility has been destroyed, he has nothing else to lose at this point.
Grown Men acting like bratty children
I know right? Some trying to get a murder off and the other trying to get justice for a victim but all highly reactive!
I think Mr Oliver has had a few too many.
Oliver thinks he is helping his buddy but I don't think he is. Just looks like what it is, covering for his good friend Bobby.
This is like a classroom! The Judge is loving it 😂😂
I really wanna go in that courtroom and scrub around the seal of the state of CA above the judge's seat. You can see the old dirty ring of the bigger seal that had been there
Lol. I was wondering why they didn't address that or at least center the new one so there is a symmetrical 'halo'. What a mess.
LMAO
"I'm having trouble following your questions" as does the rest of the world
I see why this guy’s marriage ended
This trial is a sh&@ show!!!!
This Prosecutor needs to take Blood Pressures meds....he is going to bust a gasket.
Woow Durst getting his "The Rock" on 😜😜😜
This trial literally melted my brain.
Mr Oliver is as vague as ever. Let’s keep it light and happy. OMGOSH THIS IS RIDICULOUS
But sooooo much fun to watch
This witness is a horrible liar
More circus action today.
What a vile and deviant man.
I wonder how much money these lawyers are getting paid to make a mockery of this case and what must the jury be thinking
I wonder how much money the 5 to 6 deputy district attorneys, and all their office support staff, are being paid by the taxpayers to try a 20 year old murder case that the LAPD flubbed the first time around.
In Bob’s Texas case his two lawyers got paid $1.8 million according to Bobs conversation with Deborah about his lawyer fees
@@jking6554 I'd say it was money well spent 😂😂😂
Over a million for sure just for defence lawyers, maybe 2 million at this stage!!
Selective memory no?
TF is up w/those eyebrows? Has he ever trimmed them in his life? Holy cow!
Is Oliver on drugs?
Way too many apparently 🤦🏻♀️
Yes, they are all ex drug dooers
No, he’s actually very smart and knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s wearing Lewan down and playing stupid.
And you know this how? Love pet.
@@DOLfirst because I partied with them all in NYC in late 70s
This guy gets an A+ as a friend. He's not giving up anything--
This guy is as good as "The Legend of Jeff"...everyone should have such vague but unflagging support.
Who shaved his head?! Worst job ever!
As much as I oppose the defense attorneys in this case- I kind of like Chesnov, but DeGuerin annoys me.
Lewan is about 10 times as annoying as DeGuerin with his over-dramatic and over-acting antics. I absolutely love how Oliver is wearing Lewan down and playing stupid at the same time.
@@perryjohnson8213 I’m not through the entire video yet but my impression of the the 3+ hours of testimony from this witness is that it definitely isn’t helping the defense. The prosecutor is truly annoying but this witness is absolutely the most ridiculous & frustrating witness I’ve ever heard testify in my entire life. (And that’s out of thousands) The jury won’t believe a single word out of his mouth. That said, IMO, Lewin went on WAY too long. He sure likes to grandstand.
@@perryjohnson8213 I love DeGuerin! And loved Oliver's testimony. Lewin needs to go sit down somewhere.
LOVE DeGuerin. He's like a grandpa that just happened to stumble across a courtroom and decided to go in and "help out". 😆
Chesnoff is the annoying one. .. he is a bully. Granted, he's not nearly as obnoxious or bullying as Lewin is, but still, completely ridiculous.
@@pixielou3000 Yeah before the jury, DeGuerin puts on his simple country lawyer act.
I would not be able to answer questions from this attorney. His questions are way too long.
Poor juries 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Lewan is going to need about 3 naps after today’s cross with Oliver.
More like 3 or 4 Xanax 🤣🤣🤣
He does not appear to be truthful
“I don't recall"
What happened after lunch?I can't find the next video.
what is going on? Section 767 - Permissibility of leading questions
(a) Except under special circumstances where the interests of justice otherwise require:
(1) A leading question may not be asked of a witness on direct or redirect examination.
(2) A leading question may be asked of a witness on cross-examination or recross-examination.
(b) The court may, in the interests of justice permit a leading question to be asked of a child under 10 years of age or a dependent person with a substantial cognitive impairment in a case involving a prosecution under Section 273a, 273d, 288.5, 368, or any of the acts described in Section 11165.1 or 11165.2 of the Penal Code.
Ca. Evid. Code § 767
Amended by Stats 2004 ch 823 (AB 20),s 5, eff. 1/1/2005
“ The exception stated at the beginning of the section continues the present law that permits leading questions on direct examination where there is little danger of improper suggestion or where such questions are necessary to obtain relevant evidence. This would permit leading questions on direct examination for preliminary matters, refreshing recollection, and examining handicapped witnesses, expert witnesses, and hostile witnesses.”
So basically this is the states witness on direct but he’s a hostile/adverse witness which allows Lewin to use leading questions as an exception to this rule
You missed in fact that leading questions and impeachment are allowed if the witness is considered as a hostile witness what this guy is!
Lewin is soooo irritating.
How so
in fairness the questions are confusing at times..
I thought they were talking about indefinitely postponing the trial , the guy is probably going to pass away before it finishes, I don't what his game is.
That fact doesn't circumvent justice. If he dies he dies.
@@lesliedavis3490actually you are wrong. In California because he died before he was given an appeal his conviction was thrown out.
This is important because it hurts future civil trials.
In his mind, Kathie was nothing. They are superiors, they deem us just a temporary guests in their lives. I meet this kind of persons every day. Nothing could them be emphatic and correct. They do all the time calculations in their mind in favour of their benefit. He has any interest to say the truth since he eat a sweet bread from the Durst corporation. This witness would talk under torture. Let's him to drink something and let's him to go home or to TriBeca for shopping and get a nice lunch.
Huh?
He's already answered the question "keeping it light and happy" 3 times! MOVE ALONG! This lawyer doesn't want to lose his assertion of a moot point. The judge needs to order him to move on. Badgering the witness.
Madder than a box of frogs!!!
I see live the game of mouse and cat.
I see that the deaf don't hear but fit it. Mr. Lewin spend his time. Really, i see how the oath is ignored consciously.
Brilliant prosecutor.
I agree...he doesn't miss anything.
He's great!
Testifying like a boss...without a mask!
What a dumb thing to say.
@@lynettejoy9258 I suppose you say only smart things...congratulations 😏
@@jonnieinbangkok irresponsible and ignorant. The guy is also a disrespectful criminal.
Does a toupee count?
This must be the MOST loyal friend on this planet. Obviously State won't get anything out of him and trying it over and over again is a waste of time and quite frankly a waste of the jurors time. I think at this point everybody knew that he was a hostile witness and only on Durst's side!
Douggie O!iver maybe you should go back to kindergarten and repeat grade school
Actually this guy is very smart and this makes him the best hostile witness!
That prosecutor is annoying lol
See I was annoyed by the witness, I like to see a prosecutor who fights for the victims. But he can be wordy for sure.
Is the judge even listening to this trial? He so often has to read what was said.
He's listening, he just carefully reads what was said again to make the correct ruling. Nothing wrong with that.
SERIOUSLY!! WHAT WOULD HE HAVE DONE 10 YEARS AGO?
So disrespectful..
I served on a jury and the judge was listening to a Red Sox game during it. I could hear his radio from where I sat. He actually gave us the score once.
He actually said in another video that since he has the fancy technology he should use it. So 10 years ago he would’ve gone by memory but here he can read it back so he does. Again, nothing wrong with that.
Don’t we want judges making the correct decision more than the quick decision?
fkn ASKED AND ANSWERED !!!!!!!!!!
DeGuerin will have a field day on appeals. Judge is way too lenient and obviously favors the prosecution. Not to mention he allows SO much hearsay!!
This guy is gonna die by the time they get through this trial
Me Oliver? Is he a Jeff Epstein look a like?!
Relentlessly attacking Bob’s memory about events that happened in 1982 to try and find one scintilla of a credibility issue is disgraceful. The judge and prosecution are on the same team in this case.
Really? The man's a homicidal criminal.
@@lesliedavis3490
Did he get convicted?
Robert durst is a triple murderer and has an orbit of brown nosing weasels that have protected him over the years and tried to cover up his crimes
What is really going on with this circus? The guy looks half dead and I think it's an act. Remember when he lived dressed as a woman??? Alot of people knew he killed several people and no one would turn him in. He is a very sneaking ,conniving , murder but he is very intelligent 🧠🤓
This is the first video I’ve watched of this trial, and this prosecutor is too weak mentally. I’m a trial attorney, witnesses do this all the time.
I think the prosecutor...is fantastic...he hasn't missed a trick.
He dies need some distance and to " not let them see him sweat".
Lewin is aggressive and wins his cases, love him
This Doug's looks reminds me at Jeffrey Epstein.
The day before durst had hair and now he has a shaved head to show off his stint in his head playing the frail old man again. And why does this man not have his mask on?
The judge is cool!
I wonder if Juan Martinez was the Prosecutor for this trial? I wonder what will be the outcome. ;)
What if Jose Biaz was on defense?
Money talks
The DA is the most arrogant, aggressive and socially ignorant prosecutor I have ever seen. Why does he shout so much. I wholeheartedly agree with Ward Cleaver’s comment.
Agreed. Being aggressive does not make a good lawyer. Most of his questions are horrible. Compound questions. Everyone has a bad day maybe it's that.
Lewin wins and if my loved one was murdered, I would want him as the prosecutor
You try to get something out of a witness that is hostile and asks to keep repeating the questions without loosing your patience !
Oliver is a lying snake. Just watch the second season of the jinx. Hes trying to protect and cover up dursts murders
Liar👃👃👃pants on real smelly fire 🔥🔥☠️💀☠️
Just answer the questions you wanna b gangster...
Are lewin and the judge friends?
Chezoff stop acting like you are in drama class with your hilarious hand jesters
J
At this rate Durst will be dead before this trial is over. What will his sentence be if he is still alive and found guilty??
Wanka
Way to many Ca. cases lost because of arrogant prosecutors
He has to be a bit arogent..this witness is hostile and clearly lying.
