In essence the prosecutors tried him for three murders.
His first wife he killed nearly 40 years ago, never found her body.
He shot a 'friend' by accident in Texas, said he panicked & cut up the body, put in bags & tossed in the water, some surfaced. He scammed that jury was found not guilty of murder, but of mutilating the corpse & served some time for that.
Then he shot his 'best friend' in the back of the head, she had called the hospital and pretended she was Kathy, Bob's first wife, to cover for Bob.
Recently he feared she would let the cat out of the bag... and killed her.
The trial took forever. Prosecutor Lewin knew the case inside out, he & the others on the team did an awesome job weaving this triangle of lies.
Durst is ill & old, at times I thought he might die before this was over, the other day he was choking & I thought how ironic it would be if he died, live on TV just before the verdict.
As it was, he was in quarantine when the verdict was announced, he had been in contact with someone that had Covid.
Always a twist in this case.
