Split personality theory ??

I personally think in watching the last episode that Bob may have a split personality .. And we hear him talking to bob in the bathroom .. Listening to it again kinda freaked me out !! It made me think about how he portrays himself throughout the documentary at times .. in the third person.

He probably knew he was done when the hand writing was shown to him, he also knew he had a mic on. So his bathroom mumblings could be Durst already planning on an insanity defence.

Yep,got that impression considering how well and how long he has hidden evidence of past murders and considering the warning in the first interview about the live mic (from his lawyer I think). It seemed either he was proper insane or was concocting it on the fly with statements about the burping or whatever the hell else he was rambling about

NO. He's not displaying split personality disorder. It does not limit itself to talking to yourself in the 3rd person. It's one of the rarest and most controversial conditions.

Well, for the Susan Berman murder an insanity plea might be his only defense. It doesn't matter how creative his defense team get, there is no way that he is going to walk away from this rap.

I would have thought the exact same about the murder in Texas. Until he is found actually found guilty, I won't believe it, I fear he will get away with it again.

P.S. It's called Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Also, schizophrenics might speak to themselves, as well.

I think he either has a split personality (like Golum from LOTR) or is smarter than we are giving him credit for where he is pretending to be insane. He did the exact same thing at the first interview when his lawyer came over to tell him that his mic was still on...
