In parallel with the premiere of The Jinx Part 2 on the Max streaming service, Season 10 of this Jury Duty podcast presents The Trial of Robert Durst: Greatest Hits.
Every six weeks of The Jinx 2 series, we re-release four of our favorite episodes from the Durst trial on our Jury Duty feed. There are a total of 24 episodes.
This episode is Season 1 Episode 2: A History of Violence.
Robert Durst attempted to control his wife Kathie through violence, and the violence escalated until the day Kathie Durst disappeared. “This is what the evidence will show,” prosecutor John Lewin told the jury at Durst’s trial for murdering his friend Susan Berman. Lewin continues his opening statement by claiming that Durst asked Berman to “do something for Bobby,” making Berman a “loose end” that Durst felt needed to be “tied up.”
