·21 min

Part 2 of a two-part Celebrity Trials episode on Robert Durst, hosted by Reed Carter. Covers Durst's 2001 murder and dismemberment of neighbor Morris Black in Galveston, his shocking acquittal despite admitting to the killing, his bail jump and capture shoplifting a sandwich with $37,000 in his pocket, the HBO documentary 'The Jinx' in which Durst appeared to confess to all murders on a hot microphone, and his 2021 murder conviction for Susan Berman's death — vacated on a technicality when he died in prison in 2022.
