translated from Spanish: Convicted of Multimillion-Dollar Murder

The American billionaire Robert Durst, heir to a well-known New York family that manages an estimated estate of about 4,000 million dollars, has been convicted by a Los Angeles court in the case of the murder of his best friend, Susan Berman, in the year 2000.The case took on new life six years ago following the premiere of the documentary ‘The Jinx’, in which Durst apparently confessed to committing the crime. Berman was shot in the head at his home in Los Angeles as he prepared to give police information about Durst’s alleged role in the disappearance of his wife, considered dead in the absence of finding her body, in 1982. and he had told his friends that he had provided an alibi to the billionaire after his wife’s disappearance. Durst had already been convicted of destroying evidence in the case of the death of his neighbor Morris Black, whom he killed during a dispute and whose body he dismembered and threw into the sea. He was not convicted of murder as the court understood that it was a case of self-defense. The billionaire has denied killing Berman at all times, saying he found his body on the floor of his room and sent an anonymous letter to police to find the body because he feared they would blame him. However, according to NPR, Durst himself admitted during the trial that it would be “very difficult” to believe that he sent the note without having killed Berman.Read more: Luxury cars and trips around the world: This is how the drug traffickers of Mar del Plata who trafficked drugs in the USA lived.
