I don't think it's that he wants to be found guilty, as much as he wanted to flaunt that he got away with this shit for so long. And, if he was arrested, he wanted to see how he could squirm his way out of it again.

I agree. We've spent six weeks watching this guy, seeing his tics, and then we see this final interview. People that just read the transcript don't have the frame of reference that we do.

I 100% agree with you. Especially when you know that Durst has a habit of referring to himself in the third person, I really found the "you're caught" to be the most damning part of his statement in the bathroom.

Shit, I thought there was a chance that he was innocent of killing Susan before the discovery of that letter. Durst pulled the wool over my eyes, too.

It absolutely would have been better for them in the long run. No lawsuit by Robert for his share of the fortune, no stalking, no talking of "Igoring" Doug. And frankly, if I was involved in the real estate business, I wouldn't want anything to do with the Dursts because of their dubiousness. But maybe that's because

Don't forget poor murdered Waldo, the miner bird.

They probably thought it would be bad for business, so they just swept it under the rug and did what they could to cover it up. Well fuck that noise. A young woman was murdered by your brother. She was listed as missing, but we all know she was murdered. And they didn't care at all about her, or her loved ones. It is

I think that the whole Durst family was complicit in the cover-up after Kathie's disappearance. The whole thing where her family went to talk with Seymore and Doug came in, asked what was going on, and told them to leave was so bothersome. Durst's nephew saying how there was a "Berlin Wall of silence" around the

The episode where Bobby gets gout was just on Adult Swim this past week. That one never ceases to make me laugh. Especially when the doctor asks Hank if Bobby has been eating organ meat and he says "My boy's not a ghoul, he doesn't eat that stuff!"

It makes you wonder if the reason why they never found Morris Black's head was because he never dumped it in the Galveston Bay. The trajectory of that bullet wound would have shown if it was self-defense or not, and a kill shot to the back of the head would have definitely proved that it was murder.

I'm ashamed to admit that he sort of charmed me too. He could be so funny at times. He even had me fooled for a bit, and I doubted that he was involved in Susan's murder. Especially after reading articles from right after she died, where her friends said they didn't think he did it, and the fact that Sareb said he

Is it wrong that I cheered when I read the news? I have followed the Durst case since his trial. I was in high school back then and was a huge CourtTV buff. I hope he finally goes down. On a strange note, he is claiming that he has brain cancer, which I can only take to mean that he is the healthiest person on the

Probably my favorite episode since they did the musical. And definitely the most surreal episode they have ever done. The Twin Peaks references were awesome and had me laughing so hard, which was really painful because I just had serious surgery a week ago, but it was worth it.

Yeah, but this was only the trial for the one murder, he was never charged for Susan or Kathie, and the burden of proof is on the prosecution. They were fighting an uphill battle. They knew he was going to claim self-defense and just thought that the horror of the dismemberment would sway the jury. Them saying they

You would think him just being in the state and leaving on the exact same day of her murder would be enough circumstantial evidence. But they have that envelope now, ties everything together.

I've been posting about it on Monday's What's On Tonight. I find it so fascinating so far. I followed the trial when it was going on and I was still in high school, and I am loving getting more insight into this. Durst is a terrifying human being. At first, I was even fooled about Susan Berman, thinking it wasn't him

The problem with that was, the prosecution didn't allow for lesser charges. If the jury could have found him not guilty of murder in the first degree but guilty of, say, third degree murder or manslaughter, he would have been convicted. But the prosecution's case was not airtight. They didn't have a motive. They had a

That's… basically the entire premise of the show. Vic is dirty as hell. He may do good things, but he is a very bad man. It is an amazing show, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I'm sure it's not. I mean, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was good because of Terry Gilliam's visuals and Benicio Del Toro's performance, but it wasn't a blockbuster. His time with the Hell's Angels would still make a great movie if it was in the right hands though. It was a fascinating book, and it was really

Thanks for the advice. I did kind of learn the hard way about the laughing thing when I saw my one stupid cat jump all the way up the wall a couple days ago. It really wasn't pleasant. I should avoid sad stuff to, because I'm a really chokey crier and that would probably hurt as well.
