Murder suspect’s lawyer says ‘making Bob Durst a liar does not make him a killer’

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Robert Durst is a sick, old, defenceless man who has been beaten up and demonized by prosecutors to cover up a lack of evidence against him, his lawyer said Thursday in closing arguments at the New York real estate heir’s murder trial.

DeGuerin said he wasn’t aiming for sympathy, but he was seriously concerned about the health of his client and wasn’t sure he would live through the trial. DeGuerin said prosecutors had failed to prove how, when and where Kathie Durst was killed, though he said circumstantial evidence indicates she’s probably dead. Her body’s never been found, and no one has been charged with a crime in connection with her disappearance.

Prosecutors have also been able to introduce evidence from a Galveston, Texas, trial in which Durst was acquitted of murder.
