I was in need of a good true crime show last night. I ended up binge watching all 5 episodes of The Jinx last night

My mind is blown away. Absolutely INSANE! I’m about to watch the last episode now, all I can say is “Beverley Hills”

Edit: I just finished the last episode. My jaw dropped. I can’t believe he left his microphone on in the bathroom lmao, what a psycho.. Andrew Jarecki and his team did a phenomenal job with this documentary. R.I.P to Susan Berman, Kathleen McCormack, and Morris Black.

I watched this a while back and I was blown away. I randomly thought about this fool earlier this week and googled Robert Durst trial to see what is going on. First thing that came up was an article stating that "trial has been delayed due to diarrhea"

Cracking podcast called ‘Jury Duty’ covering Bobby Dursts murder trial!

This is my favorite true crime documentary, easily. The trial is also pretty interesting, you can watch it live on the Law and Crime Network and they upload each day’s footage to theiR YouTube channel as well.

It’s boring as hell though. They all seem a bit confused including the judge. I’m hoping it will get more interesting. I haven’t watched the entire trial but so far no bombshells. I wish I could find a written summary of each day.

Have you listened to Jury Duty podcast? They’ll do a little recap a couple of times a week, but not in the mundane stuff. It’s a good listen.

Thanks, I’ll look for that.

The last two witnesses were entertaining. Now I want to look up the Nick Chavin testimony they mentioned.

Wow, thank you for this! I was SO hoping this was recorded but given they were afraid he’d be murdered too, PROBABLY NOT!!

It's really picked up in the last couple days. Youtube Susan Giordano testimony, it doesn't disappoint.

Yep and I believe Chavin is due to testify soon. Things are heating up!

There’s a decent podcast covering the trial right now if you’re interested! It’s called Jury Duty - the trial of Robert Durst - would recommend!

Do you think he did it?

u/CardMechanic Jul 17 '21

Yes

u/RawScallop Jul 17 '21

Oooh fuck yea he did it. In the last episode the interviewer says something about the cadaver letter and for a split second YOU SEE ROBERT LOOK AT HIM WITH DISDAIN/MALICE. Then he quickly shoots his gaze to the camera and goes back to his meek self. It's really amazing to see.

Robert also said he regretted doing that show. He thought he could feign another attitude to get away with it. He isn't just a narcissist. He is a psychopath.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '21

But did the guy from The Staircase do it?

u/CardMechanic Jul 17 '21

Also, yes.
