Just read this. I loved the picture of him reading "Hurry Home Candy" while on trial. I bet sales of this book skyrocket. Durst: Here's the deal; I was being investigated for the disappearance of my wife, so I dressed up like a woman and fled New York. I ended up in Galveston living in an apartment, and one day I found my landlord in my apartment. He just happened to have found a gun that I had hidden, so we struggled over it. During the struggle, he got shot in the face. I was so distraught over this accident, I cut up his body and hid i. When I found out that the authorities had found some of the body, I grabbed five pounds of Mo Taylors and Eddie Griffin's weed and half a million bucks and fled the city. I realized though that the head might make me look guilty, so I went back to retrieve it.....where I got busted. I posted bail and hightailed it out of town, but I got busted again stealing a sandwich. I really wanted that sandwich, and I had forgotten I had $500 in my pocket. Anyway, all of this is true (except for the part about the Houston Rocket's forwards.....the weed was actually mine). I did not kill this man......it was an accident! Jury: Not guilty. How the hell does this happen?
wow, amazing... I bet the jurors were just trying to get back at the judge for busting them for smoking cigarettes out of the courthouse windows during deliberation. unbelievable...
Whoa! Whoa! All I can say is that it is a damn good thing his victim wasn't a minority or we would be having riots in Houston! That is unbelievable! Somebody check the Jurors' bank accounts!
i wasn't there in court...and i didn't actually hear the testimony...but i can't begin to understand this. happened to me in a jury trial in the last couple of months...you walk out going, "what did we do all of that for?? was the jury listening at all?" very frustrating.
If I am not mistaken, doesn't the "not guilty" verdict have to be taken with a grain of salt, in that the prosection didn't give the jury an option of convicting on a lesser charge (i.e. voluntary manslaughter)??? I mean, its possible that the jury thought that he was guilty of a lesser charge (i am sure dismemberment is against the law regardless of whether the original killing was in self defense), but since there was no grey area, and they could only convict him of muder or find him innocent, they had to choose not guilty since they had no other options. Madmax??
So I'm listening to Mix 96.5 and the DJ breaks in..."Robert Durst found not guilty. Very surprising. Now Sheryl Crow with The First Cut. Umm I shouldn't have said that"...moron no one would have noticed. The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
Wow......too wierd........Do you think he went home and celebrated by having a bar b que? Crazy Rich S.O.B.
They had an interview with Durst's brother on KTRH this morning. He said he was (a)certain that Robert Durst was a murderer, (b)Robert Durst would murder again and (c)he had obtained a restraining order against his brother from the courts in New York.
