American millionaire Robert Derst (Robert Durst) is found guilty of killing his girlfriend Susan Berman (Susan Berman). It is reported by CBS News.
The incident occurred in 2001, when the deceased Berman wanted to testify by the police in the case of the disappearance of the businessman’s wife in 1982. A woman was discovered in her house with a gunshot wound. For many years, the magnate in real estate itself argued that he had no idea what had happened to his wife, and he did not know who killed Berman.
As one of the evidence of the guilt of the Dust, the charge was used by the documentary series HBO TV channel “Secrets of the billionaire. The life and death of Robert Derest” (The Jinx). In the break of filming, the businessman went to the toilet, where several phrases said: “Well, here you caught. What am I, damn it, has done? I killed them all, of course.” At this time, it was a working microphone and recognition was recorded.
jury consistent about seven hours for three days. Now 78-year-old magnate in real estate threatens life imprisonment. The sentence announcement is scheduled for October 18.
Previously, the Dust was already convicted of the case associated with the murder. In 2001, he killed his neighbor on the boarding house in Texas and broke his body. However, in court managed to prove that this was done as part of self-defense. The main accusation with DRACT was removed, he pleaded guilty of two other items and in 2003 he was convicted for five years in prison, from where it came out ahead of time in 2006.
