Real estate heir Robert Durst, subject of The Jinx documentary, sentenced to life in prison

New York real estate heir Robert Durst has been sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole for the murder of his best friend more than two decades ago.

Prosecutors said Durst silenced Ms Berman to prevent her from incriminating him in the reopened investigation of the disappearance of his wife, Kathie, in 1982 in New York.Durst testified that he did not kill either woman, but said on cross-examination that he would lie if he had. Durst is the grandson of Joseph Durst, who founded the Durst Organization, one of Manhattan's largest commercial real estate firms.

Robert Durst settled his share of the family fortune and was estimated by prosecutors to have $US100 million .Robert Durst's trial faced a 14-month adjournment due to COVID-19 restrictions.This current trial began in March 2020 and was adjourned for 14 months as the COVID-19 pandemic swept the US and courts were closed.
