Dick Degeurin questioning someone's ethics? Is that a kettle whistling in a glass house?
This man represents everything that is wrong with the american justice system. Absolute disgrace, happy to help a self confessed murderer go free if it means he gets a cheque at the end of it. No morals
+corsinivideos A lawyer acting in your best interest is representative of what's WRONG with the American justice system? That's retarded. What's wrong is that most lawyers aren't nearly this good.

I think you guys need a lesson in civics. A lawyer is there to fight as hard as possible for his/her client. This is an exceptional attorney. Read the 5th amendment in the Bill of Rights. This is what makes our country strong. As a lawyer, I have defended plenty of people I knew who were guilty. But in order to convict a person of a crime, the government must be able to prove they committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. This isn't so much as to protect the guilty, but to ensure when an innocent person is arrested, that person will not be convicted. It's better to let 100 guilty go free, then have one innocent person convicted of a crime they did not commit. And those lawyers who fight as hard as they can, when they know their clients are guilty, are doing so in order to honor the founders of this great country who wrote the 5th amendment, not to upset the court of public opinion.
George Derieg well the system doesnt work. its a capitalist system and to deny that is to be very naive. in america the avarege man is the decider and the avarege man is very dumb so the jury are very easily manipulated. excuse my spelling i'm not american.
It's in the best interest of everyone for the accused to have proper representation and for the best argument in their defense to be presented. If he wasn't adequately represented there'd always be the question of if he did it or not. If a good lawyer presents the best possible case in his defense and it is still shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person is guilty... then we know for sure that justice was served and they got the right guy.
I don't want to post anything in case I get killed
This dude is as guilty as Durst. There are very few commendable defense attorneys, he isn't one of them.
Agreed. There are some. He’s the exact opposite of that.
Just watched the durst trial, how pathetic and deceiving this Discusting so called defense lawyers, Deguerin was, Just out for them selves. At the end they will face their Final judgement. They can lie to themselves but not to God.
Prosecutors are just as bad if not worse, locking ppl up on junk science and bringing/dropping charges based on politics
His lawyers told him not to do the interview, he agreed with them in his statements. It's a hard job lying, very good lawyers. The afterlife has the best legal system, abandon all hope all you who are guilty.
My brother knows the Degeurin attorney brothers. Incredibly smart defense lawyers.
lawyer is a criminal too, durst couldve even pick which writing was his and which wasnt his on the address letters!!! dead giveaway!
The lawyer is there to argue, and that's what he's doing. Will that argument be persuasive, as a former criminal defense attorney, I would say probably not. But what else should he do? He is being paid to fight these charges, this interview he gave was quite good, but in the end, Durst will probably be convicted. I love how all lawyers are vilified, but in reality, we fight for our clients as hard as we can, within the limits of the law. If we do not fight as hard as we can, then we could lose our license.
Lawyers are OFFICERS of the COURT. You DO have the right, as an attorney, to refuse to defend a client you know is guilty without ANY fear of losing your license. We cannot live in America without attorneys. But don't play the "I'm a poor lawyer who will be disbarred if I fail to "fight as hard as I can" , which in the DURST Case you have to be an idiot to not read between the lines here and see the man is guilty, in which case you can refuse the case ALONG with the s&^$ton of money you would get on retainer. Exactly because the idiot DURST agreed to say all these things on a TV program, which the lawyer in this video admits watching, would lead any normal person to the conclusion that the man is guilty. I know some people blindly vilify attorneys, however this attorney is taking on a person who he knows is guilty of multiple brutal homicides, and we "non-attorneys" are expressing normal reactions when we encounter a serial killer.
Anyway, I'm sure you are are a good attorney, just please don't play the "victim card"--it makes you sound weak, and, as an attorney, you know how that plays to us common folk.
Jim Morton there are a ton of different types of lawyers. They don't have to practice criminal defense. But those that do, don't refuse client's because they believe they are guilty. A criminal defense attorney who only wants innocent clients is going to have serious problems finding one. They are rare. There were many cases I found hard to defend because of my background and that's perfectly fine. THose cases weren't assigned to me. But if a lawyer does not fight as hard as he/she can for a client, that is ineffective assistance of counsel and that can trigger a retrial. We are officers of the court, that means we cannot actually lie. But we can argue. Argument isn't under oath, it isn't evidence. It's a persuasive side of a story. You just keep vilifying us lawyers who represent people we know are guilty. Maybe when you get older, you'll realize there is no one completely innocent, and everyone is guilty of something. Maybe think first because you just judge criminal defendants. it may make you feel like you're better than other people, but deep down we all know what you really are.. a hypocrite.
And I'm not playing the "poor me". I've refused plenty of cases. But not midway through the case.
And it's a badge of honor not a "poor me". Don't ever feel bad for a lawyer. Many of us have killed our profession with terrible actions. I'm just trying to let everyone know that we all aren't terrible people who want to watch the world burn. We want to represent our clients and at the end of the day if the guilty person is convicted, "horray" justice is served.
Thank you for your frank reply, Mr. Derieg, and especially the implication that I may be younger than you! I'm not a hypocrite. I do understand and appreciate the predicament lawyers find themselves in at times, just as we in criminal justice counseling find ourselves...... I just think I would sleep better working for a DA than the PD. I know you have to pay your dues. I'm just saying I wouldn't be able to do anything to assist Mr. Durst, as it seems evident he is guilty. You are right though, and this is an interesting conversation that I think others might enjoy....lawyers are vilified, yet guess who everyone calls when they need one!!!?? right. touche
She must be a smoker.
Her voice did not use to be like that.
ANY theatre kid knows
The mic is always on & the tale of the actor who flushed the toilet 😭
WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT SOME BATHROOM RECORDING! LOOK AT ALL THE PHONE RECORDS AND THE CADAVER NOTE! This is media versus the justice system, which are interchangeable today, so... count backwards from 7 and just take it.
I hope you’re watching the trial. It’s pretty beautiful. The prosecution is amazing.
what an appropriate first name
He’d be a bad lawyer if he didn’t stick with his client lol.
They will have a hard time convicting him on a note and a recording where he doesn't name anyone. But hey, they got me convicted on less!
And you did what in Texas? Drama, trickery, and hypocrisy?
"what the hell did i do? killed them all, of course".
+Sakke L. "That's it. You're caught." -- There's really no other way to interpret that phrasing. An innocent man doesn't say "caught."
again that could be interpreted him in a third person where maybe the filmmakers were to say ''you're caught".
"he was right, i was wrong" was probably a reference to his attorney repeatedly advising him against having anything to do with this documentary.
Just watched the durst trial, how pathetic and deceiving this Discusting so called defense lawyers, Deguerin was, Just out for them selves. At the end they will face their Final judgement. They can lie to themselves but not to God.
Wonder if his Attorney will raise his grade To A+++
how is this asslawyer gonna disprove the letters!?
+Bridgette Young How is anyone going to PROVE the letters? Even if he sent it, it doesn't prove Durst killed Berman...at least legally.
+Bridgette Young if the letter to police was from him (sounds like he himself admits that in toilet by saying: "he was right, i was wrong") that could be explained in a way it wasn't him confessing murdering Susan. Maybe he just went to the house, saw the body and didn't want to get involved but didn't want to leave the body to rotten there either. If he really had been so cold blooded and murdered Susan why the hell would he be so concerned about the body.
+Sakke L. Because he in the end cared about Susan. They were old friends. You answer your own question in the comment. He killed her because he had to, to keep his secret safe. But he didn't want her body to rot.
+Sakke L. At the end of the day he was more concerned about himself than his friend, and when he found out she was going to speak to an investigator who is building a case against him he was looking out for himself when he shot her in the head.
same way, he disproved morris black's murder & chopping....
why no comment on the huge hair on the right side of his face?
Oh please he knows he said it..durst had major issues..he was seriously troubled.
Shame on you, Mr big fancy lawyer!
I like DeGuerin, He's a hell of a lawyer.
She’s def a smoker
They never mention the farting. Hmm
Guilty until proven innocent? Dark times. I hope none of your loved ones find themselves in the same position.
Voice ,,,, acting. Cartoon character voice
Jesucristo es Dios
slimebucket lawyer
+Donna Jackson Excellent lawyer.
No. A good lawyer is one who fights for his/her client no matter what. You'd feel the same way if you were accused of a crime.
George Derieg i understans you are a lawyer but i recommend you to not forget your own morals. the justices systems goal is to fight for the truth- dont forget that
adi sh the role of the criminal system in this country is adversarial. Read our constitution and Bill of Rights. I have defended thousands of people charged with heinous crimes, and I am confident my morals have not been compromised.
George Derieg the goal of the criminal system in the us is to get to the truth- convict the guilty and free the innocent , the way to get it is adverserial.
This humiliated of ,,,. A old man, killing him on camera,. Why did not investigation beforehand
