Picture it: you’re at a formal dinner and get seated among strangers. Everyone goes around and shares their name and where they’re from. One table mate says “I’m Susan, I’m from Galveston.” You can’t help but say “Galveston? I can’t hear that without thinking of Robert Durst.” People laugh knowingly. Did I mention the dinner was at CrimeCon? Aforementioned table mate says “I was the judge who presided over Bob Durst’s trial in 2003, for the murder of Morris Black.”

I spoke with Brittany Bookbinder who is covering his current trial for the 2000 murder of Susan Berman in Los Angeles. Along with Kary Antholis, Brittany reports for, and co-hosts the podcast, JURY DUTY: The Trial of Robert Durst.
