The Durst Case Scenario
Monday, March 16, 2015 at 5:55PM 
Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do?
“You ate that last piece of cake, didn’t you?!!” or “I’ll bet that car accident was your fault, wasn’t it?”
You might mumble under your breath, “Yup, it was me. I ate it,” or “I ran right into that car on purpose,” knowing fool well you didn’t do anything of the sort. Some people mumble louder so the other person might hear that you said something, but…
“What did you say?”
“Awww… Nothing. Forget it.” You know what you meant, and all you were doing was being sarcastic with yourself. What irony it is that someone would have the audacity to accuse you, you think, disgustingly.
Some people, like Robert Durst, have been known to talk to themselves. Intelligent people sometimes do. So do nutjobs. Occasionally, I do it, although I don’t know which category I would fall under. Without being presumptious, I think it’s easy to guess which checkmark Durst would get.
But to be fair, I think it’s important to note that, perhaps, he was simply mumbling under his breath when he said, “What the hell did I do? … Killed them all, of course.” That could possibly be part of a solid defense. I was merely being sarcastic with myself. It’s certainly no confession. I knew what I was doing when I said it.
We already know he enjoys playing with people’s minds. He could have uttered those words on purpose; to see where it goes from there. He does, after all, seem to thrive on skirting the law. Facing murder or the trial itself might be a perfect game to him. Another challenge. Why not? God knows he can afford the best attorneys. What a thrill!
What a weirdo.

So glad you decided to add fuel to the fire...Money can't buy him love, but it can buy him a great defense attorney...Hopefully this time he will get his just desserts...However, I doubt it...
Personally, I hope he rots, but I will say that any attorney worth his or her salt would offer this rationale prior to a murder charge. Hopefully, the prosecution has much, much more than that simple utterance. And I think that the handwriting and spelling of "Beveridge [sic] Hills" will work against him, so he may be a lot more vulnerable than he thinks.
[Durst was subsequently charged with first-degree murder and could face the death penalty.]
IMO, Durst is a kook. He seems to be making a game of "How to beat the System"..and is using his wealth to do it. From what I have read, I do not think the prosecution has enough evidence to convict him in a court of law. He is not worried about any death penalty...he will beat that too by dying of natural causes.
