it's pretty irresponsible to air a tv show calling a dude guilty before his trial but i guess he's rich so it's ok???

it was just as hosed when they released american sniper before the trial of the (clearly insane) dude who killed him was declared "not insane" by a jury of people who watched american sniper and love the dead guy who killed people from far away

When you said american sniper I thought you were talking about that dude in DC and was for a moment very confused.

You guys have an excess of snipers.

[*]handwriting and misspellings on envelope to police are 100% identical to a previous letter billionaire guy sent to the home of the woman he murdered; evidence wasn't found until documentary came out that this was hidden by the dead woman's stepson because billionaire guy paid for his college tuition to shut the gently caress up; stepson not brought up on charges for some reason



oh I thought it seemed pretty believable that he found the letter recently digging through his mother's things, but now that i think about it, this seems pretty loving retarded of me

also I have two more episodes left but I'm still surprised nobody mentioned yet if at all how close the murder shopping list found in his garbage was to the cadaver note, both things I thought the police had long before the letter was found

It's easy to miss because her stepson seemed like an OK guy at first but in one the episodes he outrights admits he needed $200,000 to go to college and Robert Durst gave it to him and so he went to the public saying Robert did nothing wrong and he just so happened to have a box of stuff implicating Robert all this time and then cried when he gave it to the filmmakers lol

oh yeah I actually forgot the shopping list. It was literally something like "ditch, shovel, woods, dirt, soil, body, carcass" lmao it was ridiculous

I can't believe police didn't even bother to check the handwriting of literally anything else Robert ever wrote to the note he sent to the cops. The handwriting was identical. He didn't even try to hide it.

Where can we ever find a handwriting sample from our main suspect??? :confused:

He said he asked for 200k but got $25,000 a year for 4 years. I mean, a rich person would probably give somebody that close to them college tuition like that, it doesn't necessarily mean it was given as a bribe for the letter that durst didn't know he had. Durst seems guilty as sin but I'm not convinced the son traded his knowledge of his mother's murder to the murderer for college tuition

drat maybe I took it all wrong then. I definitely got the vibe that Robert bought the stepson's silence. I could totally be wrong about that.

How loving hard is it to just write with your offhand

Or you know, change the characteristic poo poo of your own handwriting. Put hats on a's, use cursive I's, etc this wouldn't necessarily save you cause I'm sure hand writing forensics is better than that but it's too bad that it isn't forensics that decides if you're guilty but your retarded peers

No it is never mentioned. Just the "Igor" thing and you see pics of him with his dogs.

The cat beheadings came about from the judge from the trial he was acquitted on. The dog info came from his brother maybe 2 weeks ago.

The letter showing up wasn't even really important because they had hundreds of documents at their disposal that showed his handwriting but never bothered to even look into it. He also just so happened to fly to California from New York to stay like 3 hours from the woman he killed. When they asked why he was in California, randomly, during Christmas time he said "I dunno, I just hung out in the woods".

It was really weird how the letter showed up which is why I thought the stepson was protecting Robert.

The handwriting is completely identical. The only "new" thing is how he spelled it "Beverley Hills".

Watched The Jinx this weekend. It was ok. Texas jurors in the show are dumb as poo poo, but that's an indictment of the American jury system generally. Who the gently caress thought it was a good idea to let 12 people, specifically chosen to be as stupid and impressionable as possible, decide complex legal issues?


Unless the cops have evidence more evidence re: the CA woman that wasn't in the show, they'll have an uphill climb to proving he was the one who pulled the trigger. They can place him in California, they can even prove he sent the cadaver letter, but they can't prove he was in her house and shot her. His bathroom "confession" audio while on the set of a TV show that was apparently found 2 years after the scene was shot won't hold up - not when you have multiple million dollar lawyers and idiot juries who believe "the mean DA from New York made me self-defend :qq: "

his attention to detail

He comes off as a literal sperg in the show with the level of minutia involved in his grand plans, while being completely oblivious to common sense. Hiding in Galveston, TX from your criminal past in New York? Okay fair enough. Doing so while concocting this elaborate roleplay scenario of being a deaf-mute woman botanist? He pours into all the detail about how his only choice was that he had to get a full wig and create this whole new identity. That's sperg-level commitment.

He has the same type of response for why he shaved his head and eyebrows, and how he had no choice but to shave off all his hair in order to hide his identity because growing a beard and mustache would take too long. :confused:

On the cadaver letter he spergs into the detail about how the writer obviously used the block lettering to hide their identity, but is totally oblivious (at least until he's called out on it) to the idea that handwriting, even block letters, can be identified when it's as unique as his.

uhm the postmark on the cadaver letter was such that it was sent before anyone even found her body.

Meaning...get this: the person who sent the letter was either a) the murderer or b) roommates with the murderer

You can show the jury he probably wrote it but it's handwriting and can be faked, there has to be more evidence than that and there is no clear motive beyond the hearsay of susan's friends (which was to be frank, a very weak part of the show)

The rules of his release required him to stay near his home; permission was required to travel.[24]
That December, Durst made an unauthorized trip to the boarding house where Black had been killed and to a nearby shopping mall. At the mall, he ran into the presiding judge from his murder trial, Susan Criss.

Thats....pretty unlucky.

Defence Lawyer: He drove to her house and was the first to find the body, and he reported it to the police anonymously via the cadaver letter - not wanting to get involved knowing they would never believe him on account of his suspicious past. He never shot her.
