“There are certain things I would lie about, certain very important things.” At his murder trial, Robert Durst testified he would lie to get out of trouble and had lied during testimony in the past, but said he has told the truth in his current court case.
The New York real estate heir said he hadn’t lied during five days of testimony, but a series of inconsistencies during cross-examination in Los Angeles County Superior Court threw his credibility into question and exposed the risk of putting a defendant on the witness stand.
Playing clips of interviews Durst gave filmmakers, an interrogation conducted after Durst’s arrest in New Orleans in 2015, and clips from his own testimony, Lewin got Durst to acknowledge several lies he told over the years. Durst was acquitted of murder in Black’s death after he testified that he fatally shot the man during a struggle for a gun. He was convicted of destroying evidence for chopping up the man’s body and tossing it out to sea.Durst admitted Monday for the first time publicly that he sent police a note directing them to Berman’s “cadaver.” He said he denied sending it for years because it made him look culpable.
“What I did not say out loud or, perhaps I said very softly, is: ‘They’ll all think I killed them all, of course,’ ” he testified.

Robert Durst admits 'cadaver' note made him look guiltyNew York real estate heir Robert Durst testified Monday that he lied for decades about sending police a note directing them to the dead body of his best friend because he feared it implicated him in the killing. In fact, it was so hard to fathom that Susan Berman’s killer was not the same person who sent police a note directing them to her “cadaver” that even Durst sometimes questioned the plausibility of that explanation. “It’s very difficult to believe, to accept, that I wrote the letter and did not kill Susan Berman.”
