As is the case with all things Robert Durst, his murder trial has been far from normal

Why has it taken so long to bring Durst to trial? Though the millionaire was arrested by the FBI the day before The Jinx’s final episode aired, preliminary hearings in Berman’s murder were delayed briefly in 2017 due to Durst’s health complications. That fall, proceedings were put off for another six months after Hurricane Harvey flooded the Houston office of Durst’s defense attorney.
Why did an SNL alum take the stand? In June, former Saturday Night Live cast member Laraine Newman testified that her friend Susan Berman told her she gave a fake alibi to get Durst off the hook in the disappearance of his wife. When prosecutors asked her if Berman indicated “whether this was an actual alibi or whether she had done something false,” Newman said that “it was something false.” She added that she “responded negatively” to Berman, who then tried to walk back her statement.
