Robert Durst requests new trial after murder conviction in killing of friend
Fox News
Robert Durst, the real estate heir recently convicted of killing his close friend and suspected of killing two others, including his wife, is asking for a new trial, alleging he was prevented from receiving a fair shake during the lengthy proceedings.
Prosecutors alleged Durst killed Berman in 2000 before she could talk with authorities about how she provided a false alibi for him when his wife, Kathie McCormack Durst, vanished in 1982. During the trial, they accused him of killing his wife and then getting rid of Berman years later to cover up the first slaying. Kathie Durst has never been found and has been declared legally dead.
In their filing, defense lawyers said there was insufficient evidence to convict their client.
