Court TV to Cover Robert Durst’s Murder Trial

Court TV is set to provide coverage of the murder trial of Robert Durst, the real estate heir who was featured in the HBO documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.

Court TV is airing the opening statements, closing arguments and the verdict in the trial, in addition to delivering ongoing reports of the testimony and the significant events that will not be captured on camera. The original Court TV covered Durst’s first murder trial, in which he was acquitted of charges relating to the death of his neighbor Morris Blake in Texas in 2003.

In his current trial, Durst stands accused of murdering his longtime confident Susan Berman to silence her from telling investigators what she knew about the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathleen. Durst has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. (In the final scene of The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, the accused is heard saying, “There it is. You’re caught. What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”)
