I wrote that word three times to denote the number of victims killer Robert Durst is known to have murdered over the years including his first wife Kathie and fellow Galveston boarder Morris Black. The third time was the charm today when a Los Angeles jury found the previously lucky killer finally guilty, in this case of his friend from college Susan Berman, who was an author and a mobster's daughter. He killed her in 1980, allegedly because she knew too much about the details of Durst murdering his ex-wife and had planned to go to authorities. Durst shot her dead execution style. Durst, however, has one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel being in terrible health at the age of 78.
The HBO documentary The Jinx was credited for bringing his crimes to light and especially of reviving the Berman case thanks to new evidence.
"Life" in prison given Durst's age and health probably won't be that long.
He did take the stand in his own defense, but it was for naught.
