THEN they show him pics of his ex & kids and threaten him to stay quiet or else, and quietly leave , leaving him ALIVE! Really? They'd leave the scumbag alive & kill the innocent mom???

      I will agree, it's such a hard case because he is truly out of his mind, but his blatantly manipulative tendencies make it hard to see him as not aware of what he was doing (this is purely a comparison to the legal definition of 'insanity' and seeing the cross examination of his son who was a witness), I do not believe he was acting or hyping up his mental health as a defense (he didn't even CONSIDER that as an option) but I think there were multiple things at play; psychosis but he has a narcissistic or anti-social overlap that just combines and morphs into this vile, evil and delusional mindset. I found DBJ for example, to be completely aware just too narcissistic to actually recognize how he's coming off and how caught he was.

    Blaming victims, especially deceased victims, is the most vile thing to do and proves the lack of remorse from the defendant.

Sometimes the defendant gets aquitted and then commit more violent crimes.

      People attributing familicides to ‘nowadays’ is a misunderstanding of a deeply tragic issue. Familicides are indeed heartbreaking and devastating. We must recognize that these horrors are not solely a product of our times, even though that fact doesn’t diminish their tragedy. A historical example is George Forster, who on December 5, 1802, in London, England, allegedly killed his wife and child by drowning them in the Paddington Canal.

    What stands out to me as particularly disgusting about the disgraced attorney who said two mysterious strangers came in with guns and sent him to the basement is why he thought that's the story to tell. Even if such a thing occurred, why would a person not attempt to delay the perps and alert Mom to get out of the house? Only a feeble coward with no shame. Mr. Merritt has no merit whatsoever.

    What a great guy: His mother killed in front of his eyes, just disappears with no trace and leaving his kids under the deadly threat of the two unknown strangers and supposed cold blooded killers. He thinks it is not necessary to call the police or his family to warn them about those two guys that disappeared without a trace, but did not even give him a little scratch. Yes, this is totally reasonable.

    Robert Durst also spelt "Beverly" Hills as "Beverl"E"y every time he wrote in then in the letter he wrote to the cops about Susan he spelt it "Beverl"E"y" rather than "Beverly" also which is what led him to have to admit he wrote it because of the incorrect grammatical consistencies throughout things Durst had written & didn't deny so and it matched the letters/documents he denied writing!
