A California jury on Friday (sEP 17) found multimillionaire real estate heir Robert Durst guilty of murdering his best friend Susan Berman in 2000, the first homicide conviction for a man suspected of killing three people in three states over the past 39 years. Durst, 78 and frail, will likely die in

A California jury on Friday found multimillionaire real estate heir Robert Durst guilty of murdering his best friend Susan Berman in 2000, the first homicide conviction for a man suspected of killing three people in three states over the past 39 years.

Windham decided to have the verdict read in Durst's absence. Speaking to attorneys for both sides later, he called the case"the most extraordinary trial that I've ever seen or even heard about." Despite long being a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, a 29-year-old medical student, Durst was never charged. Prosecutors said he killed her, then decided to kill Berman 18 years later because she had told others that she helped Durst cover up the crime. Berman, 55, was shot in the back of her head inside her Beverly Hills home.

Her office issued a statement on Friday commending those involved in securing the conviction, but a spokesperson said the Westchester investigation"remains ongoing and we will have no further comment at this time".
