The scion of a real estate empire took the stand for 60-plus hours during his Los Angeles trial, in which he discussed three killings to which he's been linked over nearly 40 years. He now faces life in prison.
Robert Durst is on trial for the 2000 murder of his friend and confidant Susan Berman, who prosecutors allege he killed in order to cover up his involvement in his wife Kathleen McCormack's disappearance 18 years earlier.
Superior Court Judge Mark Windham noted that Robert Durst has spent 24 hours answering questions from his defense lawyer, and another 38 hours of cross-examination.
The note pointing cops to Susan Berman's body has long been considered by authorities a smoking gun pointing to the millionaire scion's guilt in his best friend's slaying.
Robert Durst testified in court that he disguised himself as a mute woman in Texas to hide from Jeanine Pirro after she announced that she was investigating his wife Kathleen McCormack Durst's disappearance.
Robert Durst testified that he lied to police about Kathleen McCormack Durst calling him from her apartment in Manhattan the night she was last seen alive.
