My ex husband is a diagnosed sociopath/narcissist and he cant keep anything straight because he lies constantly too. The thing is, these people don’t care that they’re being caught lying. They’re not normal.
I’m glad he’s your EX-husband now. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. The manipulation alone that people like this put you through can drive someone crazy.🙏🏻💙
My ex-bestfriend's boyfriend is the same. I ended our friendship. Couldn't take her constant crying. Live in a small community haven't seen her in public in the last year. Thank goodness you've moved on
Sociopaths/narcissists are easy to spot if you are paying attention to the signs. I have enough information on this subject now, that it's easy for me to spot a potential sociopath. I've already come across 2 of them that is kind of close to me, I'll be keeping an eye out for them. The ones that I don't see often or once in my life, I don't even bother to care about. The ones I keep an eye out are those that part of my inner circle, who's either related to me, associated with my loved ones or friends, or those that I work with.
My sister acts like she can't remember what she said yesterday. She isn't cognitively impaired. If she doesn't want to deal with something she just lies.
@@jenniferatwell9698 Lol. I know how u feel. But who knows how many days of cross examination Durst is going to be on the stand! So, increasing the speed is prob going to be needed for quite awhile!
By far the best “poor, old man” act I’ve seen in a court room. My grandpa would play “elderly” when people would bother him selling stuff at the mall and similar yet he was an extremely intelligent and intellectual man. Soon as they’d walk away he’d smile, wink, and tell me to remember this because people treat the elderly like they’re stupid or less than. Aging alone doesn’t make you a totally different person! How many people in their 40s still feel mentally the same as their 20’s? How about people in their 60’s who still feel like they did in their 40’s? You are basically the same person from 20-90 minus a few personality changes, habit changes, etc., and of course the physical changes.
Yep. He’s definitely a master manipulator. No doubt he has health problems but he’s definitely not cognitively impaired. Your story of your grandpa reminds me of my ex mother in law. She was ultra independent, financially self sufficient, never “needed” a man except when it came to moving furniture, carry tubs of clothing etc etc. Then she suddenly became weak, not as strong as the big tough boys. She’d always wink at me & whisper that I should never let my husband, her son, know that I was strong enough to do manual labor. Lol.
Yes, it's weird. Suddenly he can't hear? I don't know what Durst's strategy is here. Maybe he wants to drag out the questions so Lewin won't ask as many. Idk.
@@sydludwig1826 I know, I was thinking the same thing that Durst maybe thinks he will just stop asking questions if he takes to long to answer the ones he has asked! I can say that very many of the trials I have watched over the last few decades, this is the first time I have seen someone not look at the DA, & just keep their head turned away, looking down! Lol
@@catherinepalun972 "I did not knowingly and purposefully lie" (The Jinx) Yep, bob is fond of crafting his answers to hide the truth. Cant expect anything different from a compulsive liar.
It's hard to separate the age and the person. I instinctively want to have compassion for him buy I am trying to look beyond the age and remember that he is a monster.
Durst faking his strained voice and memory, what a show. If it thought that helped him, he was wrong. He's a narcissist, so the struggle for him is he has to be right and smart, yet play a feeble old man with bad memory. No one is buying it, we see right through you. God have mercy on your soul.
His main weaknesses are attention seeking, self talking and talking too much and it is too difficult for Durst to keep on lying for 39 years. Justice is done too late. People may wonder that The Jinx did much more than the police and the judge in that period 1982-2021..
Robert's world began crumbling when Sareb decided to call the documentary crew instead of the police when he found the cadaver note. It was a little luck as well.
Law & Crime please consider closed captioning for the hard of hearing & the deaf. You would probably be surprised how many of us are out there. This mans speech is very difficult to understand.
Why sad? He had so much of his life to live in freedom and with huge amounts of lavish wealth from his family’s business….he lived well considering he escaped culpability for murdering 3 people

Finally we get to hear the prosecutions side 😁. I do wish we had a younger durst in trial. Better late then never but he’s lived his whole life doing whatever he pleases, no sense of the value of hard work or money, murdered 3 people, and just been a spoiled rotten child/manchild. He’s near the end of his days with serious health concerns. I hope they can finally convict him this time.
@Tejano💜 People aren't bad just because they're not a hard worker. As long as they're respectful and caring, I don't think their work ethic should figure into it.
@@italiarosa4666 very little evidence but a heck of a lot of damning info / 'coincidences'. He has lied so many times to cover his tracks. Lied about what he did after dropping kathy at the station, lied that he didnt write the cadaver note. Caught on hot mic saying he 'killed them all', even though the jinx took phrases out of order, they still tell a story, he lied about his reason for going to LA prior to SB's murder, and so on. I would be frankly suprised if he hadn't killed kathy and susan.....and others.
Brilliant strategy by Lewin. I wasn't sure if he was gonna come in and just start shredding. He's very calm and I think trying to make Durst kinda warm up to him....then he can shred him to pieces
@@kristenmunoz5395 Never said he was likable or not cocky. Just think he's very well prepared for this entire trial. Kinda reminds me of Juan Martinez in the Jodi Arias case.
Durst is sooo playing the prosecution - he took nowhere near as long to answer the questions from the def. Lewin will shred him and expose the truth I hope
History will show that this was a bad idea to have him testify. He was his own worst enemy and Loftus was a joke of an expert witness. They should have just not presented anything and let it go to the jury. Having said that, happy to see him convicted.
Huh. I guess everyone is different because I’ve highly enjoyed this judge. He & both sides of attorneys have worked together on this case for years, so it def creates a diff environment than we normally see in courtrooms. But personally, I find the judge extremely likable. To each their own I guess.
@@maryb6672 While I understand the Judge may be considered "likeable ", that is much different than being professional and maintaining judicial decorum throughout the proceedings. My opinion only ....
3:02 Does he really have to answer these questions about 'how he feels'? That is bizarre and if I were him I would ask the judge if he must answer them. Then I would give either really long winded, medically technical and convoluted answers. How shameful of this attorney to take this advantage of an old feeble person, regardless his crime. It s not his fault that the NY DA did such a sh1tty job in 1982 when Ms. Mc Cormick went missing.
I thought the same when he asked. What does "how he feels" have to do with the trial and why does he want to know? Is he going to do something to resolve how he feels?
It’s not the judges job to object on behalf of the prosecution. Feeble doesn’t mean you get to escape Justice….robert remembers things VERY well. His mind was sharp despite his body failing. He lives free for many years, but at least he got to be exposed for the liar he always was at the end of his life.
Also this trial wasn’t about Kathleen McCormick…it was about the murder of Susan Berman. Talk of Kathleen was let in because her murder/death pertained to durst’s motive. This doesn’t have anything to do with the NY DA…this trial is in California, where Durst murdered his “friend” and foot soldier, Susan Berman in the 1980s.
@@JohnnyHoot1 yes a couple things… though I suppose it’s ultimately up to the jury in California to decide…. Hence Durst own testimony that he prefer to be tried in California… because he prefers the jail/prison system there🙄
Strange how, in watching the HBO doc, Durst speaks much more clearly and has no trouble hearing when he is on the prison phone to his "wife" and friends.
Almost everyone has experienced trauma, yet we don’t give these exemptions to everyone without question. He’s a liar, a documented and confirmed liar. He doesn’t have distorted memories, he has distorted intentions and distorted ideas of self and entitlement due to family money always bailing him out of his horrific acts. The trauma of never having to take accountability for yourself because daddy’s money (and daddy’s need to save the family name) bails him out.
Also why is this being heard now in 2021?? When it happened in 1982 & 2000????? So he's been looked up since 2000???????? What......is going on here........
He's been locked up since 2015. It takes a long time to go to trial. Also, investigations take a while as well. Both Kathy and Susan's cases were considered cold cases - although they suspected Robert Durst. When both cases were reopened, they started talking to witnesses and finding out more information. Then when The Jinx came around and the boxes were removed from Stewart Altman's house, they found enough physical evidence to connect the dots and arrested him in 2015.
@@MissReneeMichelle Yes it was a combination of things. Susan Berman was the daughter of a mobster. And she helped Durst cover up what he did to Kathie in 1982. She faked an alibi for him back then and was his mouth piece to the press. Plus it got covered by a crappy investigation and bad luck that an employee in 82 claimed to have seen Kathy but came out in 1999 that he lied. And right when they were about to question Susan on what she knew about Kathy she was murdered as well in late 2000. Which pushed it back further.
i completely enjoyed Lewin's 1 hour opening statement at the start of the trial. It was great to hear the facts against durst, rather than bobs lies and DeGeurins BS.
Good luck, Mr. Lewin! Be strong and well focused on this. Mr. Durst is nervous as the begining talking with you. He lost his concentration for the moment.
So, he can't remember what happened within the last month (the questions of him objecting), but he can remember intimate detailed conversations, body movement, expressions, etc about things that happened decades ago. UGH, he disgusts me!🤢 Lies all lies! (Just my opinion)
he is a compulsive liar who has been caught out multiple times, ie - what he did after 'dropping' kathy at the station, initially writing the cadaver note, and so on.
This is a waste of time his cross is not getting to any point. It is a waste of time and money for what ?? To show he had a dysfunctional family he is a liar wow ....
.... I want to be named Sir! Good.... This is a very good point, against him, unfortunately. Here it is not about his right to have this name, it is about how he looks others considering his upper if he is in front of a Court blamed for some crimes. I don't say judged, especially. I know perfectly this behaviour. He lived in his balloon. In any situation he does not accept discover his more less good point!
Lewin really needs to trap durst in his many lies and catch him out, cause in the absence of direct evidence, a confession is all we can hope for to prove guilt, imo.
@@geoffpoole483 For multiple reasons: 1) Prior to trial they litigated the admittance/exclusion of certain evidence. The defense wanted specific evid to be admitted but the judge made clear it would only be allowed if he was assured that the defendant would testify-bc otherwise it would be heresay. 2) So, DeGuerin promised in opening statements that Durst would testify, so they could ask many of the questions that would have been inadmissible . 3) Last but likely the biggest reason is because Durst himself insisted upon it. It worked for him in Galveston & his ego is entirely too colossal to imagine it backfiring. (Even after the Jynx). IMO, the trial outcome will largely come down to this cross examination.
Lewin lied, frisbee was called a Pluto platter in the 30’s and 40’s, the brand frisbee came out in 1957, but the game existed! Uno was adapted from the game crazy 8’s so another bs gotcha by Lewin. People call these games by their brand names now.
This HBO second season is really trying to milk this for all it’s worth, and I have enough. Get to the point faster. A lot of pointless bs, repeated bs.
How can he live this all year’s without saying nothing this man he’s really ruthless and mean . am not happy that he was arrested at the lest hour of his life he deserved life in prison
What happened to his voice and mannerisms exactly? It was only a few years ago or so he was waving his arms around talking with a big New York accent. Nobody ages that quickly..
bit rough to grasp at the frisbee. he's old he could be getting mixed with playing frisbee a year or 3 after . and maybe imagining playing with his Mom or something. either way its grasping at straws to make him look bad.
I'm not sure what he is doing with this information he has but it's not making him look like a liar. Just means he mixed up the names of the games. You picking apart someone's memories is not a way to prove that they are lying.
When Durst started talking it was he was like he was acting in a play going through the lines and the delivery... But as soon as he began to deliver the line he was interrupted, (on purpose 🤔?) And after the interruption he goes back to saying the same sentence with the same delivery. So scripted I'm assuming. Lawyers and prosecution have a whole bag of tricks to drag out the truth and corner the defendant. Cat and mouse. That interruption at the beginning was one of the tricks from the bag I bet. You could see the blondes ears perk up when after Durst was interrupted he went straight back into the speech with the same energy, words, delivery like there was a cut and the director said, take it from the top.
He's pretending to be SO FEEBLE. Don't feel sorry for this vile human.

And right when they were about to question Susan on what she knew about Kathy she was murdered as well in late 2000. Which pushed it back further.
He tried not to remember the bad .
Durst probably remembers playing XBox with his mommy too
That kill risk wrist band... so many layers...
fall risk it says
IMHO Durst is an actor, and a very bad one
4:38 the lawyer almost lost it
He is soft spoken. Fake or just warming up IDK. Will see if he improves.
That is a solid cross examination!
i completely enjoyed Lewin's 1 hour opening statement at the start of the trial. It was great to hear the facts against durst, rather than bobs lies and DeGeurins BS.
Anyone know if this is the stream it will be on?
Whew~! What is the time frame difference b/w when this was filmed and "Jinx" was filmed b/c the difference in his health and appearance is 100%
Good luck, Mr. Lewin! Be strong and well focused on this.
Mr. Durst is nervous as the begining talking with you. He lost his concentration for the moment.
So, he can't remember what happened within the last month (the questions of him objecting), but he can remember intimate detailed conversations, body movement, expressions, etc about things that happened decades ago. UGH, he disgusts me!🤢 Lies all lies!
(Just my opinion)
That is part of dementia.
Have you heard of something called Dementia?
@@jeanhess8950 I did not know this. Thank you. 😊
@@italiarosa4666 have you heard of not being a %$&÷ when someone didn't know something? *How about educating instead of berating?*
he is a compulsive liar who has been caught out multiple times, ie - what he did after 'dropping' kathy at the station, initially writing the cadaver note, and so on.
This is a waste of time his cross is not getting to any point. It is a waste of time and money for what ?? To show he had a dysfunctional family he is a liar wow ....
Another one bites the durst
Good one!
Very clever!!
😂
Want to talk privilege? THIS, is a privileged person.
.... I want to be named Sir! Good.... This is a very good point, against him, unfortunately. Here it is not about his right to have this name, it is about how he looks others considering his upper if he is in front of a Court blamed for some crimes. I don't say judged, especially. I know perfectly this behaviour. He lived in his balloon. In any situation he does not accept discover his more less good point!
?????
I'm still not sure they have enough evidence to prove Durst killed Susan. Ugh.
There is zero forensics and very little circumstancial. I predict he walks.
Lewin really needs to trap durst in his many lies and catch him out, cause in the absence of direct evidence, a confession is all we can hope for to prove guilt, imo.
They have nothing but the fact that she died and he knew her.
Pretty quiet on here tonight, for all the non believers in John Lewin Congratulations John
Durst is exactly where he belongs
Durst got what he deserves every thing he got welcome the CA prison
Why so many comments on how brilliant this prosecutor is. I find him to be long winded in questioning, and irritating! And I am not pro DURST.
@@MV-se1ke The trial has been a bit of a circus. Why did Durst decide to testify?
@@MV-se1ke I have been here, IN california, watching this entire trial.
@@geoffpoole483 For multiple reasons: 1) Prior to trial they litigated the admittance/exclusion of certain evidence. The defense wanted specific evid to be admitted but the judge made clear it would only be allowed if he was assured that the defendant would testify-bc otherwise it would be heresay. 2) So, DeGuerin promised in opening statements that Durst would testify, so they could ask many of the questions that would have been inadmissible . 3) Last but likely the biggest reason is because Durst himself insisted upon it. It worked for him in Galveston & his ego is entirely too colossal to imagine it backfiring. (Even after the Jynx). IMO, the trial outcome will largely come down to this cross examination.
This is too late. Being rich only financially but not in life. A sad human being. He is a good actor😂
In this life the word rich seldom seems to apply to anything other than $$$.
Lewin rockin it!
I Think It’s A Bad Question
I Obey Traffic Rules I Don’t Speeeed🤣🤣
Nooooo 😂😂
Pfffft. 😂
He sounds exactly like whinny the poo
It's so obvious the Judge and lewin are together on this , I don't know who is sucking who but it's clear
This guys voice reminds me of the old man in the Diablo 2 cinematics. Lol
Lewin lied, frisbee was called a Pluto platter in the 30’s and 40’s, the brand frisbee came out in 1957, but the game existed! Uno was adapted from the game crazy 8’s so another bs gotcha by Lewin. People call these games by their brand names now.
I definitey agree, Lewin seems crazy to me.
Thank you for that can not stand lewin
He's actually factually correct....how ever nuanced it may be. It's part of his strategy.
Yea of little faith. Congratulations John Lewin
Now try him for Kathie.
I was thinking this exact thing
For his age tho, he's still pretty sharp.
Indeed
This HBO second season is really trying to milk this for all it’s worth, and I have enough. Get to the point faster. A lot of pointless bs, repeated bs.
I like it. It’s not as compelling as the 1st season, but I enjoy the behind the scenes aspects
Good one lewin
How can he live this all year’s without saying nothing this man he’s really ruthless and mean . am not happy that he was arrested at the lest hour of his life he deserved life in prison
What happened to his voice and mannerisms exactly? It was only a few years ago or so he was waving his arms around talking with a big New York accent. Nobody ages that quickly..
FINALLY
RIP Katherine durst. & Susan Berman. 4 dogs named Igor & more we aren't aware of
And the guy he chopped up in Texas!
I think joking in these circumstances are inappropriate.
Convoluted questions
Lmao Not really.
bit rough to grasp at the frisbee. he's old he could be getting mixed with playing frisbee a year or 3 after . and maybe imagining playing with his Mom or something. either way its grasping at straws to make him look bad.
Try nearly a decade or more later. His mom died in 1950 and frisbee wasn't commercially available until 1957.
Lewin is all set to fix him up
I'm not sure what he is doing with this information he has but it's not making him look like a liar. Just means he mixed up the names of the games. You picking apart someone's memories is not a way to prove that they are lying.
For all the non believers Durst is guilty
@joe mo lmao 🤣
I guess you think the jurors were all wrong o
It was his way or the highway but now hes rollin rollin rollin yea...
Yep, he has been playing that game his whole life.
I hate attorneys, but guy on cross is the first one I really like
When Durst started talking it was he was like he was acting in a play going through the lines and the delivery... But as soon as he began to deliver the line he was interrupted, (on purpose 🤔?) And after the interruption he goes back to saying the same sentence with the same delivery. So scripted I'm assuming. Lawyers and prosecution have a whole bag of tricks to drag out the truth and corner the defendant. Cat and mouse. That interruption at the beginning was one of the tricks from the bag I bet. You could see the blondes ears perk up when after Durst was interrupted he went straight back into the speech with the same energy, words, delivery like there was a cut and the director said, take it from the top.
Yes Sir!
He is acting and will once again get away with murder.
Ha, this doesn’t age well.
Defense attorney wears his suit jackets too tight around the waist it looks ridiculous.
Work on yourself!
200 pages of inconsistencies 🤣
That whole game thing is rubbish! So what if he recalls the wrong games? It is 60 years ago
That's sad
The way Robert cowers when prosecution goes over and sits down to cross examine is amazing. I bet Susan cowered before being murdered.
She was shot in the back of the head. I doubt she even saw it coming.
Is he still alive?
No, I believe he croaked in January of this year.
Moral of the story: stay well & truly clear of "Jews".
How about sir? Classic
