Prosecutors allege Durst murdered Berman so she couldn’t be a witness in the disappearance of his wife Kathleen in 1982.
“The evidence is going to show without question that Susan knew her killer, and that she freely and voluntarily admitted this person into her house,” Deputy District Attorney John Lewin told jurors in his opening statement. Durst was arrested in March 2015 in a New Orleans hotel room in connection with Berman’s murder, hours before the final episode of the six-part HBO documentary “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst”.
In the HBO documentary’s explosive finale, Durst is heard muttering to himself, “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course” – apparently unaware that a wireless microphone remained switched on while he used the bathroom.However, Lewin said the murder scene pointed to Durst’s involvement.
