LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Court TV will
provide live coverage of real estate heir Robert Durst testifying in his own defense when
he takes the witness stand in his trial in which he is accused of
murder.
Durst is accused of shooting and killing his longtime friend
Susan Berman in her Beverly Hills home in 2000 to silence her from
telling investigators what she knew about the 1982 disappearance of
his wife, Kathleen, in New
York.
When the trial resumes today, attorneys will continue
questioning defense expert Dr. Elizabeth
Loftus. Durst is expected to be the next witness,
following Loftus. His testimony could last several days, as
prosecutors plan a lengthy cross-examination.
Making this case more notable is that the defendant is the
subject of the HBO documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of
Robert Durst. In the last scene
of The Jinx, Durst went to a bathroom and not realizing his
microphone was still on said, "There it is. You're caught. What the
hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." After The Jinx
aired, the investigation into Berman's death gained momentum as the
filmmakers unearthed a letter Durst had written to Berman. The
envelope had nearly identical handwriting to a note sent
anonymously to police directing them to Berman's lifeless
body.
Durst has plead not guilty to the murder charge.
This will be the second time Durst has stood trial for murder.
He was acquitted of the murder and dismemberment of neighbor
Morris Blake in Texas in 2003.
