Robert Durst Arrested

[Lord Tyrion]

Don't know how many people are familiar with this. There has been a documentary airing about the Robert Durst related murders. Based on the findings of the show, Durst was arrested for the LA murder. Looks like he's finally going down.

...thoughts?...oh yeah, rope is pretty cheap...and it's re-usable...can make a few nooses before replacing...

Never heard of the guy i'm sorry to say. If hes guilty i hope he is going down the drain.

Since he has a lot of money, he can afford a strong defense team which he used to get off once. It's going to be intriguing to watch.

In the 2003 murder (dismemberment) trial he paid almost 2 million dollars to his two attorneys.

Because of information from the HBO documentary authorities arrested him, correct? Thank heavens for the documentary.

I don't believe Mr. Durst falls into a DSM diagnosis (although he might be in the Autism spectrum- Asperger Syndrome).

Money does make for a more interesting criminal trial if not a more just verdict.

The police didn't say for sure, but it would be a safe bet.

Yes, that's what I heard on the radio this morning.

Asperger Syndrome fascinates me. Why do you think he might be that way?

I believe my son (all grown up now) may have Asperger's. He has never been diagnosed, but, he has poor social skills, slow to talk and for him to get his words out (I believe he over analyzes) - maybe not, but, I always had the feeling..... just overall very awkward but wicked smart

I have been fascinated with this documentary since the previews on HBO and then each week I watched. Lots of questions regarding the ethics and what's admissible in court. To me, it's clear cut, but of course the filmmakers can spin it how they want. (Not hard of a spin, really) Been reading a lot of the NYT articles about this since Chapter 6 aired on Sunday. Should be an interesting ongoing case.
