- LIVE COVERAGE: Robert Durst Testifies Live For The Murder of Friend Susan Berman
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.

Mr Lewin is like lightening in a bottle, this is pure gold to watch. For the first time ever this evil man is being brought to account for his evil actions in such an eloquent and clever way. Keep going Mr Lewin!
The answering hypothetical questions part was great.
Completely telling, interesting and informative that Durst gets to a point where he no longer has to rely on the deceive to “hear” the prosecution’s questions. He loved the Jinx and the Ryan Gosling movie because he fancy’s himself a actor.
I think he thrives on the attention he receives. He is a cunning narcissist.
Narcissism is all about the mask.
Durst puts me to sleep but he's so deceptive. He looks like the grandpa in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre but he's so sharp he's fencing with a talented prosecutor. I'm glad most sociopaths don't have his resources. Those that do become very dangerous.
I rewatch at a faster speed
He totally does look like that slimes grandpa from that movie (2003). He is that scary when nobody is around. He’s so small but something is not right with that brain of his.
He acts like a sociopathic narcissist. No empathy for others. There is a reason his family doesn’t like him.
@@Cali-Girl Right. Who could like this thing? It’s the most unlikeable creature.
I've been especially looking forward to cross.
The prosecution is doing a great work!
The gloves are off and Mr Durst doesn't like it.
Durst remember everything, amazing for his age. I couldn't remember so many details
I think Lord Voldemort is going to have a medical emergency sometime soon.
Lol, that’s hilarious! It will come at the most persistent time, the medical emergency. Right now he’s just having fun!
Lewin is doing a fabulous job.
Absolutely shredding Durst
It's so incredible how he no longer has a need for the screen.
I really hope Jareki testifies as a rebuttal witness
He won’t. The state & defense made a stipulation to have his testimony read into evidence, in leu on having him testify in person. Unfortunately.
Who is Jareki?
@@wordsleuth992 one of the producers of the Jinx. Andrew Jareki is the guy who interviewed BD
@@maryb6672 drats
@@theclawsoncrew13 thank you. Do you know where you can watch The Jinx?
He is like Jodi Arias. He keeps on lying and lying even he was obviously caught.
Yes. And, both are psychopathic deviants. Arias’ T score on her MMPI was through the roof.
He is old and miserable, he was young and miserable. He is now an extension of his former self. He is a very smart and calculating man. I hope this jury can see through all of his deceit. Kathy, Morris, and Susan were probably the closest to him at certain decades of his life....they were gone in an instant. He had the motive and the means.....His wrath ran deep and he is ruthless!
I totally agree your conclusions. He feels a victims of those murdered. They took advantage of his generosity, in his mind and their elimination was inevitable. If he considers him a worst businessman, never will accept to scatter the family's money. This is a reason for his second marriage. They are living separate as I am understanding, his wife protecting always his wallet and try to minimise his public exposure.
I agree as well. What a wasted life when you have spent the whole thing miserable and resentful. I have a family member like this - they could win millions and still be miserable because they are just that sort of person.
His Mother was probably his first victim.
@@tracywendover8104 Do you think he killed her? I wonder.
It's gettin spicyyyyyyy in here
The prosecution got him!!!!!
Objection! Improper predicate! WTAF? 😂
I wish my husband would come and pull me by my hair or hand me my coat and purse and tell me it's time to go. Or accuse ME of getting pregnant. That man is evil. Evil. Lewin got him and got him good!!
Same here. Makes me realize my marital issues are nothing
Why would you wish something like that?
In the time he treated her that way,men were getting away with similar everywhere. Woman were second class citizens.
@@jenniferhyde5389 I was raised in the late 70s-80s. DV was and is a huge issue.
You do? Why would you wish that on yourself? Or, for your husband, who obviously doesn’t treat you badly? Was this sarcasm?
I’m shocked that her father just stood there and let him do it. My dad would have kneecapped him.
I really think… that Durst thinks he’s the smartest in the room. That’s where those little smirks come in.
Duping delight
@@wordsleuth992 Def; The pleasure of being able to manipulate someone, often made visible to others by flashing a smile at an inappropriate moment. Duping delight occurs when successful liars get away with a lie and become delighted by their accomplishment.
Durst is very intelligent. Being a person with autism, he takes every word literally. I do have empathy for his age and medical conditions. However, facts tend to prove him guilty, and he's already skated one grisly murder.
It’s when he’s thinking about the killing he’s done.
We all know Robert did it.
He’s old as dirt…one foot in the grave.
The state is spending so much money to prosecute him, he’s going to die in prison whether he once again admits to the crimes or not.
It would be a relief if he told Kathy’s family where her remains are but he’s going to take that to his grave.
30:00 is amazing
In this courtroom, John Lewin has the biggest brain; and it's not even close.
Prosecutor is great 👍
This is like pushing jelly up a wall. He’s as sharp as a tack when it suits him- dates of hearings, 39 years not 40 since Kathy disappeared. But claims to forget even knowing what his charges are? Surely this is not lost on the jury? He’s so belligerent . The whole ‘hypothetical’ thing about lying was a real home run for the prosecutor IMO but I hope the jury don’t think he is bullying the witness.
It’s also interesting how his hearing has improved in this section. He only looked at the screen when you could see him thinking about his reply.
35:59
"When you did not want to answer a question during your Galveston testimony, would you frequently respond That question is not completely clear or I dont understand the question?"
"I dont understand this question"
Honestly Durst is killing me here, ha haa...
His brother is frightened of him!
What is strange is that he is probably somehow enjoying this.
Why else would he agree to a documentary?
I sense that he gets excited by how far he can go to get away with things.
30:00 Durst major tripped himself up there!
Scary! I hope he goes to jail for life!
Oh the giggles he does
That squeaky chair is driving me nuts
Wow! This is brutal. Well it would be brutal if he didn’t put himself in this exact terrible situation.
use him for experimental drug and clinical research for the infirmed
Sometimes he just doesn't answer and stares and I think he is dead 😂
LEWIN IS BRILLIANT. HE DOES A FANTASTIC JOB. HE IS GETTING TO THE ROOT OF THE MATTER. DURST IS GUILTY AND HE KNOWS IT.
I think Lewin it doing a brilliant job too. He sets up the crux of what he trying to get at step by step by step, lulling ( and in some cases irritating others who are impatient) us in, then BOOM. It is like watching a masterpiece being painted.
John 8:44
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
Was wondering what kind of justice would be served putting this pathetic sick old man in jail. But after watching the conniving criminal lie through his sick mind. And body prosecution should have gone for death penalty for this triple murderer and that would be too easy escape for him. No different from any bundy
If you do the crime(s) you must do the time. Too much evidence-even if it is seeming to be circumstantial in the courts mind-points to Mr. Durst’s guilt. He has gotten away with murder and one witness-one of Kathie Durst’s friends-testified that Kathie had said to her during the time before her murder, “If something happens to me it’s Bob that did it. Don’t let him get away with it”
Hope your never on a jury, that evidence was heresay, someone said that someone said.........
In my view, all the involved authorities got too much time for delay any kind of deeper investigation before Jeanine Pirro claiming. Most of the witnesses were died in this moment.
@@stuartbutler1230 no confession as yet, but a lot of facts that put bob in the orbit of several murders and also the fact that the guy is a compulsive liar. innocent people have nothing to hide and no need to lie.
Durst was found guilty of 1st degree murder of his best friend Susan Berman on Friday Sept. 17th, 2021 in LA courthouse. Mr. John Lewin, deputy district court prosecutor and his team worked tirelessly and did a wonderful job getting this criminal put away for good.
@@stuartbutler1230 1) there are exceptions to hearsay, which is why that evidence was admitted. 2) corroborating statements are not the sole evidence of a crime, but they can certainly *corroborate* a crime.
Freaking brilliant cross. What a “gotcha moment”
Durst: haha - giggles nervously. (He knows there is no rebuttal to this)
Please explain ... “we’ll wait...” MIC DROP
OMG - best moment in this entire trial
This case is amazing the thing that came out of his mouth wow now the jury came find him guilty I wonder if his wife Debbie would come to testify for him
Is wife Debra an heir to his estate? If she has financial reasons to not testify against him , then I would say no
She cut ties with him after The Jinx, but still runs his property deals apparently. He wouldn’t divorce her because it would mean she could testify against him ( wasn’t it said they married hastily just as cases against him were opening in 2000? Suggesting she knows it all. )
He can’t cut her free in case she blabs, he can’t go with insanity as that cuts him off from his ( and her) inheritance. I read that’s why she moved him from his previous attorney to Deguerrin, as the other guy wanted to use an insanity plea?
@@Truth1561 Yes you are absolutely correct on all points, especially that she knows all. She had a dialogue with him that was recorded in that she sounded to even be supportive of his plan to do harm to his brother Douglas. I'm sure you remember what I am referring to.
Pausing is him thinking 💭 he’s faking how feeble he is imo his speak quicker when he gets irritated. Oh he’s a lair point blank period
"I would agree to nothing you are talking about"😂 NO
If Durst would only lie about certain things like, killing Kathy and Susan, but would tell the truth on other matters. If he had not killed them he would have no need to lie, therefore he would tell the truth. So by this statement is he not saying I killed them because I have to lie? If you understand what I mean?
Can the producer (cant remember his name) of the Jinx, who RD said told him to say certain things in the movie, be called to testify ?
No, I think the state & defense stipulated to having his testimony read into evidence instead of testifying in person.
@@maryb6672 ok, so I presume that will be happening down the track.
i think bobs full of manure, accusing Jareki of telling him to say those things.
He has journalistic privileges. Which the defense has relied on, belying their claim that he was a “film maker” and not a documentarian. They keep claiming The Jinx was “a movie” and not a documentary, but they’re relying on Jarecki to protect sources and confidences. They did, however, show the jury the raw/unedited footage that made up The Jinx.
Guilty! I am sick of the conversation going in circles
Perhaps his biggest lie was trying to pass himself off as a woman to avoid consequences, and false identities. To even lie about the very essence of who you are is a foundation for all other lies
Yes it will be interesting when Mr Lewin gets to the dress and wig wearing and calling himself Dorothy, that's diabolical.
Bob is right. Other murders should not be brought up in a certain murder trial.
So he is right, his laywers sux.
Yeah. Horrific was chopping her up later.
I saw the movie continuing of this crazy manner is Capri participants unfortunately
It would be nice if he would be subjected to the exact treatment that he put his victims through. I absolutely volunteer to do to him what he did to Susan, Cathy and Morris!
I like how Lewin gets at the little lies then finishes with big lies. Durst is half dead, but I think giving him the title of a witness killer is needed.
It was controlling and abisive. Thos lawyer isnot too swift.
Is he putting that voice on?
I've been watching the doc and although he does sound older, he is definitely adding to it on this cross examination from what I've been used to hearing in his prison phone calls.
Areee just agree, you are anyway going to prison 😂
Is this all the "evidence" that they have????
Yes - just seems like this is a kangaroo case....
The prosecutor should be in a clown costume. How is this a case?
@@donrotten4791 Yes! Just because he's deplorable does not qualify for the HIGHEST standard in our system. Everyone should be frightened that the State went forward with this case..... imho
This is a cross examination… it’s impeachment not making a case.
@@janettesessions God Bless you Janette and people have opinions - no one fancy's a killer - I fancy equitable systems. Your not understanding my point. But that's ok - peace ✌
He lies to cover his butt.
I swear 34:43 he mutters I did kill her!!??
YES with clinched fists
Are bhai, just declare him guilty,
what happened to Igor, their dog??
Disappeared around the same time as Kathy.
dog got old had to be put down
He’s had numerous Igors. Jarecki implied he killed the dogs, but even the DA doesn’t think he did. He had to euthanize one Igor and I think that’s why he started using that term as a euphemism for killing.
There were seven Igor’s and apparently he killed all seven. F’n psychopath!
@@christar9527 on this we disagree. I don’t think he actually killed the dogs. It was the one and only accusation he was upset about, because he didn’t actually do it. There are plenty of killers who would never harm their pets, and he seems that type to me.
He only needs one juror to believe him or take pity on him, I think he should be left walk, and if I die in the next 40 years I want Christine 4 comments below this one to be arrested for my murder as she believes that is enough to convict a man for murder 🤔🤔
I think you've had too many injections and the aluminum is affecting your brain function
You should understand that not everyone sorts their comments the same, so Christine is going to get away with it. RIP.
I think most sane people would believe this is enough evidence to convict him of murder. That said, not all jurors are sane. So, I can’t predict what the jury will do. But it’s simply unfathomable to believe this man has an innocent bone in his body. He’s murdered at least 3 people, that we know of.
This why I hate lawyers. "You yelled at your wife correct". Yes. "Well there it is folks, he clearly murdered people". So stupid.
Huh? This attorney is doing a great job!
Mister. Durst pressed the brake on the flu of the story, which shows that he feels like he's walking on shards of glass. if I were that person accused, being innocent, I would speak to the prosecutor harder and too much ! to explain him and to Jury any ambiguity or concerns or misunderstanding. Mr. Durst is not such a clean as he pretends to be.
Mr Lewin lied about the games, Frisbee and Uno both existed, but were called Pluto Platter and Crazy 8’s, frisbee and Uno were the trademarked names that we now use. I thought that was very deceptive on his part. Im sure Durst did what he was accused of but I hate when lawyers pull the fake gotcha bs like that. I have pictures of my dad in high school in 1951, playing “frisbee” with his friends in his year book. I hope Deguerin rebuts this.
Yeah, Lewins the dishonest one here LMAO
@@infinite8382 he is the prosecutor, that makes a huge difference
This plays into Bobs hands. He is a liar, compulsive and he probably killed them. But all Lewin is doing is proving he tells stories and also impeaching him on The Jinx which Lewin points out Bobs day to day lies in that documentary as well further proving anything he said on the Jinx is unreliable including the confession. Bob told 2 different versions of the same story on the documentary one day apart and Lewin himself points this out. This long cross of Durst is s bad idea because the more Bob talks the more he proves this point. He makes everything up, which makes everything he has ever said suspect.
Oh geez. Grasping at straws. The guy is guilty as sin and the prosecutor is doing a great job.
Just after Durst sipped his water- he must have forgotten himself for a moment - when he spoke-albeit briefly- he sounded quite different and much stronger/normal.. prosecutor continues to belabor his points- tiresome. I agree with his points- the hair pulling incident happened and Durst thinks ‘I was right, she was wrong’. As in- it’s ok to be violently abusive.
I noticed that too! LOL
Yes he did.
he also hit her and she went to hospital for it among other things. They use to argue and fight a lot apparently.
“Belabor his points” - you mean gets Durst comfortable and into the flow of his lies and then DESTROYS him. Honestly, I can’t understand how someone who has ever watched trials cannot see how utterly brilliant Lewin is.
It’s narcissistic entitlement and the arrested development that goes with it. He has been tricked by the devil into believing that dominance and power makes a person superior. It’s the biggest lie and most men have bought it. When earth evolves into a higher, more Godly dimension men will be left behind. They’re too low and won’t survive.
With or without a conviction, although the last option would be the happy case, one thing remains in history! Not the towers built by the Durst family from a grandfather who came from Gorlice with empty pockets and great American dreams, than this representative element as Robert Durst, a scientific case, for what it means lack of family cohesion and maladaptation to the child's skills, in the pursuit of fame and fortune. How his family does read our comments here, knowing how much was the work and sacrifice of the grand-father. A big shame.
This seems like such a waste of time
Mr Durst is right, he shouldn't assume anything. Je has to say what really happened
I didn’t know Durst was presently married. Can someone tell me how to spell her name? The prosecutor has demonstrated that Durst cannot he believed, at least his answers that cause reason to believe he is guilty or anything incriminating.
Debrah Lee Charatan
the prosecution sucks
Agree. Comment section thinks he's great. Been down this road before. Don't underestimate Bob's counsel.
While I disagree with you that the “prosecution sucks” , and I’m grateful to live in a country where we can disagree, and I do think his defense team is the very best a millionaire like Durst in The Untied States of America can afford. They got him off before, after dismembering a man and throwing his body parts in a bay and I would caution anyone thinking he will be easily convicted here. I do think in my opinion that the reaction Durst and his team had in the Galveston Texas jury’s verdict of not guilty says it all. It wasn’t relief , it was shock !
@@andsuddenly4252 grateful for the same thing...maybe I judged too quickly. appreciate ur viewpoint
@@Nonya126 completely cool of you to look at my point of view as I do yours, not that you and I are so important or influential but just imagine what could be accomplished in this day and age if we could all appreciate each other’s opinions! Have a great night and a peaceful week.
Lewin prosecutes cold cases and he has an unbeaten record so no, it doesnt
That lawyer’s not very good.
I find this so sad…. He wasn’t a happy child growing up and clearly his dad was part of that! It made him the man he became…💔 I can’t stand his money hungry brother!!
Durst is way too smart for bully Lewin.
He’s not that smart he’s rotting in jail 🤣🤦🏼♂️
Give me a break. Lewin decimated Durst within the first 15 minutes of cross examination when he got Durst to admit that he would lie, and has lied, under oath about "important things" during this trial. Then got Durst to admit that if he had killed Kathy or Susan, he would never admit it. Talk about obliterating someone's credibility, it doesn't get any better than this.
@@TheMaleficent1 And this is proof beyond a reasonable doubt for you to find someone guilty of murder. Imbeciles like you should never ever be given responsibilities in life, let alone be put in a jury. Trials should be held with the ethics and methodology of science, you also don't ask a bunch of morons about the validity of a scientific theorem. Btw, you imply that you'd find it credible for someone to dishonestly admit guilt of murder? Imagine if he stated that yes he would admit guilt, that would make him more credible in your eyes? What a clown you are.
@@TheMaleficent1 there are certain people who are rabid Durst defenders. Could only speculate as to why. But you’re absolutely right - Lewin destroyed him, just as he did Loftus, and it was beautiful to watch.
😂😆 Thanks. I needed a good laugh.
Lewin is a clown and is totally overacting. He makes lame attempts to paint a picture to the jury that Durst was physically abusive to Kathy when clearly he was not. Taking a purse and coat to Kathy and saying, “it’s time to go” is far from an act of violence. Lewin thinks that he is a star but unfortunately for him, he is not. A narcissist, yes indeed. Durst will without a doubt get the last laugh, no question.
So he only says that he grabbed her by the hair because he was told it would make him more interesting and he was told that they'd only edit the footage to make him look like a good guy but he also said those things because he wanted people to get the real story. I have no idea how questioning a witness about clear discrepancies is an overreaction. I believe the lawyer would be doing a lame job if he did not confront Durst with his own words.
Lewin is doing a fantastic job of bringing this lying miserable serial killer POS all the way down!! Anyone with even a quarter size brain and a few brain cells knows this POS is soooo guilty, but there are those just can’t accept the truth. 👍👍😅
