- With the release of The Jinx Part 2 let's take a look back to the Robert Durst trial. 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.

Ohhhhhhhh, man! The CRINGE while watching and listening to Mr. Oliver answer the lawyers questions! Forget the popcorn... Somebody hand me whiskey! 🤦♀️
The fact that every one of Durst's friends testifying for him have a lawyer screams out GUILTY!
1:03:49 Durst still has enough spunk in him to give the old high fist 🤜 to his hostile witness lying buddy in the witness box. 😂
Hope the jury saw that!
Looks like death warmed-over.
So true!
I saw that too. In that instance, Durst was purposely turned around waiting for his idiotic psychotic friend to arrive in the courtroom.
As the old saying goes, “Like Attracks Like”.
😂😂😂😂😂
Remind me why we are here??? What a shitshow. Everyone needs a time-out, but Mr. Oliver needs to be taken back to kindergarten and taught how to be a human
I'd love to see Juan Martinez cross-examine Oliver.
Juan has his own problems. Didn’t he get disbarred? I really liked him in the Jody Arias trial.
Yes he did
I noticed at 29:25, David Chesnoff tried to turn Robert Durst’s wheelchair around to face forward. Durst snapped at him in a higher faint voice, “Hey, leave me alone!”
@@TheDealMaster 🤣🤣🤣
@@darlakenward6276 I wonder where the jury is positioned. Is “Bobbie” watching them or court watchers.
@@gentleeyes5555 I think the jury is where the public would normally be sitting...behind the lawyers and defendant.
@@jonnieinbangkok Then Durst is staring at the jury then. I wonder how the jury feels. Although he looks like a weak old man, he still has an intense psychotic look.
@@gentleeyes5555 You get that after killing three people.
I really like this Judge :))))
Oliver is giving nothing away
Bless him and he's cold bony grim reaper hands giving he's little fellow 1% buddy a wave. Mr Oliver was just another Egor for Durst. R.I.P Kathy
Durst aka The Grim Reaper just needs his scythe.
Durst is sure playing the part..unkempt hair, slouching acting feebly..
So much laughter in the courtroom is utterly disgusting. Peoples lives have been taken and one is lost. And they’re laughing? It’s appalling. No respect .
Totally agree. People have died at the hands of Mr. Durst and the court is acting unprofessional and disrespectful.
These lawyers are absolutely terrible.
*_I said the same thing too!! I was like, “WTF is so funny?!!”_*
@sea v Yes, I have seen it a lot. (Cold case w/no relatives around. Mellla had departed by that time.)
@@christinechristensen6871 Do you consider fussiness a positive personality trait? Maybe in food/service industry, but it is related to disagreeableness.
Mella is quite believable and very precise in her testimony. She doesn’t seem to waver or get ‘caught up’ in the defense questions. She comes across as strong, determined and truthful with her answers. Off topic but Mella happens to be very pretty.
A very impressive person and witness.
Good grief. Mr. Oliver is unbelievable rude and uncooperative! What a PITA. Besides that, this trial is a circus. California is weird.
Love your comment!! Yes, Oliver is a perfect friend for Durst. This trial is a cluster f--.
1:03:50 Was Durst communicating witb the witness?
This case sounds like a comedy show 🙂
durst has 6 months at best
I don't think i have ever witnessed such a "funny" case.
More like “weirdness”
He looks like Jigsaw in that wheelchair....
Durst likes to try to make eye contact with all his buddies when they come in the court room turning his chair then needs his lawyers to turn his chair back funny that he can move it on his own before all the time.
Why does this defendant turn around to face the camera instead of facing the court?
48:20 to the part them Judge gives meditative breathing instructions to the DA and the defense LOL Have we ever seen this in court? No we havent
What’s in the jar on the clerks desk? In background of every shot of Durst. Looks disgusting. Yup, that’s how bad this trial is.
It’s the vomit jar
I was gonna say homemade kombucha or homemade yoghurt drink.
breast milk?? 🤣 it was my first thought. Im sure it’s not.
Nice interesting Duo 😀 Great Wittness good entertainment 😸👍 Either the witness is highly intelligent and plays with the prosecutor or he may have Alzheimer's
to the best of my recollection, I don't remember!? wtf lol I have never heard that b4
*_Mr. De Guerin’s cross examination 🧐 on Mella was getting pretty testy!! But her honesty prevailed.. He couldn’t break her because she was just telling the truth!!_* 🤷🏻♀️
*_& Mr. Oliver!! Are you playing games or really that slow? It’s a simple question.._*
*_But I understand, he was probably nervous, as I & others would be, if you had to testify in a high profile case broadcasted to the world!_* 🌎
*_Mr. Lewin was immediately being tough on him tho.._*
The real case = John Lewin v. Douglas Oliver.
What an all out brawl over this dirtbag witness.
Best witness so far. Very entertaining.
Why would Durst want to wear his mask squashing the end of his nose down?! Pull it up over your nose! Looks so uncomfortable.
I totally agree. It pains me watching how that horrible mask sits on his nose. Too bad they didn’t give him a more comfortable three layered cloth mask. On the flip side, it couldn’t have happened to a better person! 😡
He looks like the Crypt keeper
@@supriseimblack Do you mean crib keeper or crypt keeper? 😉
@@gentleeyes5555 I'm curious to know if some of his frail appearance is part of a ploy!
@@kelso381 You could be right!
Prosecutor is Excellent but mr Oliver is hilariously disrepectful. Durst giving oliver the f them fist shows how clintonesque usa has become. Rules for thee, not for me !
What a man child, meaning Douglas Oliver.
Get out the 🍿.
This is craziest ever.
The amount of🍿 I've symbolically pulled out and ate during this trial, is insane!
OMG, I hate that guy! Makes sense he is best friends with a serial killer!
How long has this judge been a judge?
He was appointed by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Thirteen years.
2008-Present: Judge, Superior Court of Los Angeles County
2000-2008: Head deputy, Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office
1985-2000: Various jobs, Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office
Prior to 1985: Employment and civil rights lawyer, Bay Area of California.
@@pixielou3000 I feel like he could be gay. But I could be wrong..lol?
I'm thinking he may be under the influence of something. I have trouble believing how anybody can be that uncooperative after being sworn in. Either under the influence or dumber than dirt.
Ok, I've heard enough! I now agree with OldWoman, this man is a D bag. A really dumb one.
Hes just a wealthy wealthy guy for a very long time in his life and he moves and communicates that way
Because he got rich thru good-old-boy system and owes Durst's.
Mr Oliver behaves as if the laws of this country do not apply to him. Sound familiar? Birds of a feather....
What’s literally up Robert’s sleeve?
Saw that too. Maybe a tracking device for the justice system.
He yelled at his lawyer to leave him alone after he turned his chair and the lawyer said sorry. Then waves at his friend like the good old boys club.
His friend Oliver looks like a fellow psychopath. Behaves like one too.
All bobs friends are being impeached yipeeeeeeeee
I'd like to know what that Mr Burns move at 1:40:20 was all about?
Why do I love what Mr Oliver is doing to the prosecution? This guy is entertaining
I had no idea u can just ask a hypothetical question... can sum1 explain this to me
the friend looks like a big drunk.
He sounds like a mafia Soldier.
She could have told the police but didn't. Mmmmmmm
I love this judge🧑🏻⚖️ he’s cool. Oliver might be the killer then
Robert Durst didn't age well! Guess evil is hard to live well as ur soul hurts?
48:30
“No…!! You may not!!!!”
😂😂😂😂
I'm not surprised. I'm sure he is sick now because that was an embarrassing representation.
Durst reminds me of the old guy in Silence of the Lambs who got thrown to the swine by Hannibal Lechter.
The one that like children's tears. Seems apt enough.
Fist pumping at 1:03:00 to the witness
I think this witness (Milla) is at war with her brother and has made up her mind which side to take, opposite of her brothers! Also, Olivier as well is not a credible witness.
The prosecutors are so obnoxious.
They got permission to treat Oliver as a hostile witness, based on precedent.
Love how Oliver is trolling the prosecutor...making him work for every scrap of information 👏🏼
I think Oliver is acting like a rich, privileged spoiled brat. Money does not entitle you to be rude and obnoxious
@@jeanlynch16 Lewin is getting on my nerves...he's badgering the witness. Do you remember what you were doing during the week of January 28-February 8, 1982?
@@jonnieinbangkok Oliver deserves it. Lewin was working on impeaching this a**hole’s credibility.
This is the most unprofessional judge I have ever seen!
Man, I should have gone to law school. . .Videos of trials leave me convinced that getting through law school can't possibly be that difficult if these guys, both the attorneys and the judge managed to graduate. The silly word games they play are annoying and very transparent. This girl is WAY more intelligent than either of these attorneys. . .WAY more!!!!
1:03:50
😂👊💪
lol he's gas
@@cirillozhe's gas ...does it mean he is explosive ? Im not American ...
@@300sl5 I'm not American either. I'm Irish, gas means hilarious/kinda crazy where I'm from..lol
Clearly the judge is under lewins thumb
I have to disagree with most of you. The DA could/should have played a couple clips and without a doubt the jury would've found him not credible. Instead he drives it in the ground and makes the guy somewhat likable and funny
