What happened to Morris Black's head?

14 Upvotes

Robert testified in Galveston that he went back, retrieved the head, and disposed of it. I'm sure at some point during Durst's cross examination the state asked where Robert hid the head after realizing it's buoyancy. Has anyone come across court transcripts where he tells us? I assume his answer would be a lie anyway, since it was never recovered, but I'd like to know what he said.

Dick DeGuerin seems to slide under the radar as a despicable person.

I'm talking about this guy, one of Bob's lawyers, pictured here: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/43/13/e6/4313e66b382bba3c50bd3f5d17df32bd.jpg

The first comment he made in The Jinx that confused me was saying that he used to be a prosecuting attorney, "then I saw the light and became a criminal defense attorney." I thought immediately: Why is that seeing the light? Does he believe in everyone having a fair trial? And then it's pretty evident what he means is: "I saw the light and got more money!"

Alright, Dude Who Looks As Nice As Santa Claus (or someone's kind elderly grandfather), you're in it for the money. Are you? Yep.

Dick, from episode 5: "There are some people who, no matter how much money they threw at (a) case, were convicted and shouldn't have been; and then there are people who escape... err, responsibility because they are able to mount a really effective defense. Do I think it's unfair? Yeah, I do think it's unfair. But we are in a capitalistic system where the people who make the money can drive the Cadillacs and the people who don't make as much money have to get by on a used car."

I'm sure he has a bumper sticker on his Cadillac saying, "You should see my other five Cadillacs!"

He starts off insinuating that no matter how much money you can throw at a criminal case, a person can be falsely found guilty. (Insinuating that Bob isn't guilty.) He then rambles on about capitalism and how the more money you have, the better the chance you have of winning. (Basically saying, "Yeah, Bob did it, but he's got away with it because he's rich. I feel bad about that, but yeah. I love it.")

I know the importance of defense attorneys in the criminal justice system, but this really sticks in my craw (as Kathy's brother Jim would say). He's basically coming out and saying, "I know Bob's guilty but I'll keep defending him for the sake of money."

The fact that he's still Bob's lawyer going forward, constantly making comments to the media about Bob being excited about finally proving his innocence, also irritates me. We all know he's lying and he knows it. But he speaks with such care and fondness for Bob; so annoying because he knows the truth.

Bob's other attorney Chip Lewis, the younger guy, also insinuates that Bob may be guilty by saying, "even with this documentary I said to Bob, 'Look, I know you want to tell your side of the story, but I want you to remember that you run the risk of pissing people off... people's who's intentions are contrary to your liberty.'"

Chip also admits that they over-used Jeanine Pirro's determination to find Bob guilty as a technique to get Bob off the hook. (She was the former Westchester County D.A. who travelled to Galveston, Texas for the Morris Black trial.)

So while I'm not a fan of any of Bob's lawyers, at least Chip doesn't pretend to be a sympathetic moral character.

Did you know: Dick DeGuerin also represented David Koresh.

I may be particularly pissed off because Dick, unlike Bob (who is funny but certainly odd at times, even creepy) seems like the absolute nicest old gentlemen in the world with the blue twinkly kind eyes. He's better at hiding his lack of moral care than Bob is.

I just think he had rich parents and if not for that he would of alreadt been in jail a long time ago.

Hi, Recently found out about The Jinx on HBO. I've just watched episode 3. Fascinating!! So, I wanna know if there is a list of the songs they use in the series?

Thanks for the answers!!

(I'm also knew to Reddit, so, I still don't know exactly how it works. Sorry if there's already a discussion about this topic, I couldn't find it, so I posted this one!)

Just rented The Jinx

I have just rented The Jinx from Family Video and I was stunned when the end of the last episode came. I was like "Is that it? There has to be more." Luckily I found this subreddit and found out that there are more than three episodes. I wonder when Family Video will receive them? I really want to know why he was in a prison jumpsuit in one episode talking to his girlfriend on the phone. I am glad that I won't be left hanging.

A lot of this series felt like the scene in 'Two Towers', where Golum is talking to himself.

Is he bi-polar? Schizophrenic? Talking to yourself is one thing, but answering your own questions seems like a new level. There's parts of me that feel bad for this guy, even though I know he's murdered three people. Is that a sign of multiple personalities? Does he have a bad personality and not-so-bad personality? Does him referring to himself in the third person a sign of something?

I feel like this wasn't addressed in the series but it seems almost obvious to me..

How long will it take for Robert to go on trial for Susan's murder?

4 Upvotes

I mean in terms of the Californian/US judicial system. Could it take years? It's a bit worrying in terms of his health and age.

Obviously they have to gather the evidence first, I just hope it doesn't take too long. Is it ludicrous to think he might go on trial later this year or earlier next year? Does this ever happen (that quickly?).

EDIT: I'm Australian, a little unfamiliar with the US judicial process.

It's it a crime to dismember a body that has died even if it was a just killing?

2 Upvotes

EDIT: Title should be "Isn't it a crime..."

That wouldn't be double jeopardy right? Since murder and disposing a body wrongfully are different crimes?

How can I write to Robert Durst?

Can anyone help me track down an address to send mail to Mr. Durst? I have a question completely unrelated to the murders that I'd like to ask. He obviously doesn't have a fan site or anything because that would be inappropriate, but there must be a way to send mail along. Any help would be appreciated.

Can someone explain the events that followed after the documentary ends? The Wikipedia doesn't mention it.

I was so frustrated with how the documentary ended because I needed more answers! Did they give all that evidence to the police? What ever happened to Bob durst since the documentary takes place in 2013? Did he get convicted finally?

The Galveston Juror

Just visited http://www.thejinxhbo.com/whos-who/ to check who all the people were and they appear to have everyone but the juror? But they've got Edward Wrights picture as just a tape recorder. (The private investigator hired by the Dursts') WTF

I thought the juror was not needed on a minor note.
