"Roll the clip! Where's the clip? You got the clip? Anyone got a clip?" The prosecution completely fumbled that attempt in part 1 and the impact is lost as a result. He kept saying "Let's just assume you said X... and let's just assume you said Y..." because he didn't have the clip ready like he thought. And the funny part is how confident the guy was that he had the clip ready to roll. We need a camera on this guy's face for when he fumbles like that.

It would be inspirational if he wasn't a murderer. 🤷 Everyone should feel free and comfortable to be themselves (unless they are a person who hurts others).

😬This old fool done told the prosecutor to "use an app or something" if he can't understand the words he's using, chuckled & then the "39 yrs" followed by "my pleasure" with a smile for him has killed me on this night! 🤦🏻♀️😂🤣
OMG! He’s denying assaulting Kathie at any time and that they never discussed divorce AND that he never told anyone to get rid of her possessions. I can’t take it!! The fact that he’s trying to blame others for what he has said- “Andrew told me to say that” in regards to the hair pulling incident. He is really a sick man. I don’t know how they came up with a childhood diagnosis of schizophrenia- yes, he talks to himself- but does he hear voices or suffer from disorganized thinking? He seems like he suffers from a personality disorder such as narcissistic personality disorder/antisocial personality disorder (sociopath/psychopath) lacking remorse and lacking the ability to feel others pain and many other traits.
He's having fun being the center of attention and yes lying all the way thru! Narcissistic ppl the ones I've run across are psychopaths in disguise. Most narcissistic ppl have sadistic feelings, thoughts and w this guy behavior he can't control.
Watch when he talks without the screen he is lip reading with limited/impaired hearing. When someone is looking directly at you they may be reading lips either intentionally or without knowing it.
The thing is, that if durst lied about what he did after dropping kathy off at the train station, whos to say he isnt lying about finding the note on susans door, writing a letter, not remembering where he got the envelope and stamp from. The guys a compulsive liar, i dont believe a word he says.
Sorry for jumping so late but I think the ink and handwriting solves this case. Ink that he used was green and they've found so many green pencils at his house. Even I could see identical handwrite. This guy deserves death penalty and nothing less.
Just like he hurt his brother, when he was smaller and laughed , he smiled here when the attorney asked him if pulling Katherines hair and dragging her out of the house was just slightly offensive.
This is exactly how my uncle treated my Aunt with him also hitting her. He had total control over everything in her life, this brings back memories I had forgotten but I knew he was mean to her.
33:20 "Those words are all little words little words, if theres one of them youre having a problem with im sure you can look it up on some app or other"..... Im dead...
Thats cute. Hes annoying amd leading the jury by asking hypothetical questions that would suggest that Durst committed the crime. This may end up being a hung Jury because of your lover boy.. what an idiot
Agree. All this because a case of domestic violence was not investigated properly, Kathy was not believed to be so important over one of the Durst dynasty.
Whew finally a competent State prosecutor. The Galveston Texas prosecution wasn’t in the same hemisphere as this gentleman. No way he is acquitted this time.
Woooow. UNO wasn't invented yet till 1971. What a liar Durst is! Claiming to have played UNO "or whatever" in his childhood. Despicable. This proves he done did it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Lewin is clever, and knows the case back to front. But I think he sometimes labours his points, almost as if he is showing off. Better to strike, make your point and move on.
I think all Lewin wants is the unvarnished truth. He gets frustrated when ppl lie under. I believe he should work on his anger/frustrations. There are those that think he’s a bully and I disagree.
@@donnabelle701-MiMi I agree that DA Lewin gets frustrated when people lie-maybe that’s why he went into law- he is definitely passionate about his role. He is getting Durst really agitated and he is acting like a spoiled brat baby! (Durst)

@@donnabelle701-MiMi OMG! I’m at work today and not watching it!!!! Thank you for letting me know. I want to see him convicted/sentenced/ locked away!!! Justice is LONG overdue for Kathie, Morris and Susan and any other possible victims. Did you hear about the cold case in California close to Trinidad where Durst lived? 14 yr. old girl who went missing and has never been found. Apparently she got into a vehicle with an older man and the witness sketch/police artist picture is CREEPY and gave me chills. The female judge from his Texas case said the forensic evidence showed that the defendant had “done this before.” (Mutilation).
Idk, I’d probably get highly annoyed also, only coz it seems as though Durst goes to answer some of the questions and then his lawyer objects. Also, right now he’s objecting to mainly questions about go fish, and frisbee, like we get it he’s a liar, can we please move on!? Lol it would be different if most if objections weren’t overruled, but then again, I’m not a lawyer and he gets paid the big bucks, I was just not in a good mood on the day I made this comment lol.
Well f00l..the prosecutor is asking hypothetical questions and leading the jury to believe that the defendant committed the crimes.. whats despicable is that the judge is allowing it. Ppl like you who know nothing about law think this behavior is acceptable but if you were on trial you would be appalled
I am not sure why Lewis proceeded with the line of questions to Durst about lying to help his case. Every person whether innocent or guilty IS NOT going to help the prosecution put them in prison. When he was asking Durst if he understood the difference between having a good memory and a truthful memory, that question made no sense. A good memory is also viewed to be a truthful memory, they are usually one and the same and not mutually exclusive. A trial is an adversarial process between the defendant and prosecutor. The whole are you a liar, is a silly line of questioning. He is also digging himself into a hole painting Durst as a prolific liar. If Lewis is successful in establishing that as a fact then he cannot parse Durst's prior statements to his benefit as evidence of murder.
Durst changed his story and admitted to writing the cadaver note in late 2019, early 2020, you can google it. The reason he admitted to writing it, after denying he did in The Jinx, IMO, is because his lawyers saw that the cadaver note was a real problem for bob, so they changed their story, which i don't believe a word of, its just another one of bobs many lies.
@@infinite8382 that tactic worked for them in the Galveston trial. They knew the cutting up of the body was a big problem, so they admitted it and took the focus off the killing.
I don’t think Bob’s lying as much as The prosecutor says he is, this is a long time ago and it’s not important stuff, and The prosecutor seems to say anything when it’s true or not and ask him does he remember it, this is deceptive.
He doesn’t seem to get the demeaning aspect of being dragged out of a house, in front of family, or anyone. If he’d have dragged me out like that, my dad would have kneecapped him, on the spot.
@@shanesmith906 I totally agree this trial should have lasted no more than a week or two and is a huge waste of money and resources. I like this judge because he is fair to both sides. I do believe Durst should be tried for his crimes.
This is the most damning cross examination I have ever witnessed. It will be part of criminal law folklore. His $10 000 000 legal team will be near tears. The man has been undone by his arrogance.
Lewin's cross examination is a train wreck for the state. See my comment above (or wherever it is) for my explanation. It's shocking how poorly Lewin is doing.
Rob is being very honest here. I don't think ANYONE would be truthful about killing someone. how does that make you believable. he's talking about hypotheticals about everyone. the prosecutor is trying to frame it that only HE would lie about killing someone. even I would lie if I was on the stand for that lol.
This cross examination by DA Lewin is a train wreck for the state. His cross examination is a huge disappointment. It's shocking that this DA doesn't understand one of the cardinal rules of cross examination that all law school students learn, don't make the foundation of your cross examination the asking of open ended questions. It's shocking how clueless this DA is. Durst may be a triple murderer but he is most definitely a very intelligent man. Lewin hasn't laid a glove on this frail, elderly man. Lewin's approach is wrong, wrong, wrong. Lewin is so confident of his belief in Durst's guilt that he can't recognize that Bob Durst's common sense replies deflate any impact Lewin hoped he would achieve. Lewin is so far afield that he has no idea that Durst is winning these exchanges. It's shocking.
I think you been watching something else. Lewin doing great work. Showing his respect someone elderly even he is a killer. He is calm and Durst happy to talk to someone not aggressive to him.
I think you forgot the 2nd cardinal rule taught in law school. When you have a defendant on the stand who is a narcissist & determined to not only dig his own hole, but keep digging it deeper, you ABSOLUTELY ask open ended questions. Because the more this fool talks, the less the state has to do. Durst will simply convict himself. Granted I’m not even half way through this video but what I’ve witnessed thus far has been brilliant.
@@maryb6672 Perhaps you went to law school with Lewin. The "2nd cardinal rule" that you mentioned does not exist. Such a strategy would be disastrous for a DA. If you watched Lewin's performance today you could not fail to notice how frustrated and out of control he became as he realized he couldn't shake Robert Durst. Lewin was shouting, insulting and bullying Durst. The DA just couldn't move on from one brief example of Durst's odd behavior after another. Events or moments that occurred decades ago that may or may not have happened. I was waiting for someone from his team to whisper in Lewin's ear, "Move on, you're getting nowhere and you're putting the jury to sleep". However, no one rescued him.
John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
@@theoneonlymichelle3.082 after I commented about him not looking at Lewin I realized that Durst was reading the questions on a monitor beside him before answering questions. Yes, he does look at Lewin.
This is amazing. The prosecutor is completely flustered and unprepared. "Uhh... okay let's move on..." - take a shot of Jack or hit the meth pipe every time he says that. (Bonus Round: Smoke and/or pop a percocet every time the prosecutor plays a clip from a movie and questions Durst as if it's real and he's Ryan Gosling.)
Wow. This is brilliant so far. I was worried Lewin would come across too aggressive. But he’s destroying him in a beautifully gentle way.
He's being challenged by the prosecutor about his credibility and he has completely stopped reading the screen. He's looking directly at the prosecutor and is able to hear just fine.
He's so insulted, that someone should "dare" to speak to him that way. I love it

This case brings new meaning to the phrase "roll the clip!" whenever Durst is busted with a lie.
"Roll the clip! Where's the clip? You got the clip? Anyone got a clip?"

"When you watch that video..how does that make you feel?"

I don't think ANYONE would be truthful about killing someone. how does that make you believable. he's talking about hypotheticals about everyone. the prosecutor is trying to frame it that only HE would lie about killing someone. even I would lie if I was on the stand for that lol.

This cross examination by DA Lewin is a train wreck for the state. His cross examination is a huge disappointment. It's shocking that this DA doesn't understand one of the cardinal rules of cross examination that all law school students learn, don't make the foundation of your cross examination the asking of open ended questions. It's shocking how clueless this DA is. Durst may be a triple murderer but he is most definitely a very intelligent man. Lewin hasn't laid a glove on this frail, elderly man. Lewin's approach is wrong, wrong, wrong. Lewin is so confident of his belief in Durst's guilt that he can't recognize that Bob Durst's common sense replies deflate any impact Lewin hoped he would achieve. Lewin is so far afield that he has no idea that Durst is winning these exchanges. It's shocking.
Surely we cannot be watching the same trial, Mr Lewin has caught Bob in so many lies.
I think you been watching something else. Lewin doing great work. Showing his respect someone elderly even he is a killer. He is calm and Durst happy to talk to someone not aggressive to him.
I Will immediately contact him and tell him thank you Sir..you saved him from total humiliation and defeat..Im speechless..
I think you forgot the 2nd cardinal rule taught in law school. When you have a defendant on the stand who is a narcissist & determined to not only dig his own hole, but keep digging it deeper, you ABSOLUTELY ask open ended questions. Because the more this fool talks, the less the state has to do. Durst will simply convict himself. Granted I’m not even half way through this video but what I’ve witnessed thus far has been brilliant.
@@maryb6672 Perhaps you went to law school with Lewin. The "2nd cardinal rule" that you mentioned does not exist. Such a strategy would be disastrous for a DA. If you watched Lewin's performance today you could not fail to notice how frustrated and out of control he became as he realized he couldn't shake Robert Durst. Lewin was shouting, insulting and bullying Durst. The DA just couldn't move on from one brief example of Durst's odd behavior after another. Events or moments that occurred decades ago that may or may not have happened. I was waiting for someone from his team to whisper in Lewin's ear, "Move on, you're getting nowhere and you're putting the jury to sleep". However, no one rescued him.

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
Hubris on a monumental scale.
mistrial ???

Lewin Is a BEAST. His IQ is well over 190. John Lewin is the new Roy Cohen. And BTW
Btw what
@@MrEp5 Btw is something Mr Lewin says frequently. It's a Lewinism.
@@Jo.lawler Aha! :D i have not watched it all so i was a bit confused.
@@MrEp5 it’s Incredible
@@Jo.lawler a "Lewinism"? Grow up geek
Like watching paint dry
if paint murdered a bunch of people and lied about it ;p
No, that’s what watching GOLF is. This is much more interesting. 🤓
Increase the speed to 1.25X. Much much more bearable & still easy to understand.
Why won’t Durst look at DA Lewin?
Good point! Does he feel intimidated/scared? Does he feel threatened? He has met his match here with Mr. Lewin and he knows it.
liars tend to avoid eye contact, its a thing. Also, if durst looks lewin in the eye, durst will melt ;p
I’m at 41 mins and he is looking him in the eye plenty of times
@@theoneonlymichelle3.082 Right ....much comments are wrong stupid & useless
@@theoneonlymichelle3.082 after I commented about him not looking at Lewin I realized that Durst was reading the questions on a monitor beside him before answering questions. Yes, he does look at Lewin.
I wonder if bob Knows who killed her !
🤷🏻♀️
Yeah….BOB DID.
this is a joke
YAassss
This is a horrible cross examination. The DA cannot control his temper.
This is amazing. The prosecutor is completely flustered and unprepared.
"Uhh... okay let's move on..." - take a shot of Jack or hit the meth pipe every time he says that.
(Bonus Round: Smoke and/or pop a percocet every time the prosecutor plays a clip from a movie and questions Durst as if it's real and he's Ryan Gosling.)
What trial are you watching?? Certainly not this trial. This is a prosecutor playing rope a dope very successfully.
I wanna be at your house
What are you smoking, shooting and drinking? Must be a combination.
I can’t stand Lewin!! He watched my cousin Vinny one too many times.
Bully boy Lewin, give him a slap.
Lol It Is What It Is God Can Only Judge You🙏🙏
Durst is holding his own with this laughing badfoon
I am in love with Robert durst!
