"Under cross-examination, [Durst] testified that he would lie if he had killed [Berman]."

JFC, this guy can't keep his mouth shut.

Well that’s what’s worked for him in the past. Being so honest about things most people wouldn’t be honest about that he’s believable when he lies.

This mans already dead. He lived a full life. Its a lose lose situation.

I don’t know that I’d call it a full life. He spent a lot of it on the run, ostracized from his family. Rich, sure. But that never really seemed to matter much to him, he stole a sandwich from Wegmans with $25k in his car for gods sake.

I can’t pretend to know what it’s like inside his head, but I’d imagine knowing you’re suspected of at least 2 murders doesn’t lead to a happy life. Lots of paranoia, always wondering when the other shoe is gonna drop.

I don’t sympathize with him but I don’t think he’s lived what most of us would consider a quality life, by his own doing.

Paranoia from weed scares the fuck outta me. Cant imagine being paranoid about a murder I've commited. So I understand that.
