it's a crazy case that always seems to get crazier I'm Jack Leonard I work for the Los Angeles Times she's just in her
00:00:13
home somebody comes in shoots her in the back of the head my name is Paul Coulter
00:00:21
and I was one of the detectives assigned the Susan Berman murder investigation [Music]
00:00:31
we were next-door neighbors for nearly two years I saw the name Susan Berman in my heart stopped
00:00:38
Susan was a media personality and never boring in a weird way maybe that's why I
00:00:43
became a journalist because there was always a story that I knew someday I would have to get and it's my own if you
00:00:49
killed Johnny no the defendant is a multi-millionaire Robert Durst has been suspected in three killings over the
00:01:01
last 35 years it's about power and money you pay a million and a half dollars create theater in a courtroom and
00:01:10
everybody's like poor Bob I mean it is the theater of the absurd well what's gonna happen is you're gonna
00:01:19
be charged with murder there's no fingerprints there's no blood evidence there's no ballistic evidence there's
00:01:27
nothing that connects him to the actual murder of Susan Berman Dick DeGuerin and
00:01:33
I'm lead counsel for Bob Durst this is gonna be a huge case money power murder I think Bob that you drove down
00:01:48
to Los Angeles and killed Susan I do back the prosecution is saying he's a menace to society he might still be able
00:02:03
to kill some of these witnesses he's so dangerous that their identity means to be held kept secret from the defense
00:02:11
until right up to when they're about to testify this is the kind of thing that happens you would expect in a mob case
00:02:16
or a terrorism case I believe he's innocent innocent a Susan Berman's murder yes you're sure of that
00:02:26
I'm as sure as I'm sitting here [Music]
