Robert Durst Hospitalized

LOS ANGELES (AP) — New York real estate heir Robert Durst, who days ago was sentenced in a two-decade-old murder case, has been hospitalized after contracting COVID-19, his lawyer said Saturday,

Defense Attorney ****** DeGuerin said he was notified that Durst was admitted after testing positive for the coronavirus. DeGuerin said he didn’t know Durst’s condition and was trying to find out more details.

Durst, 78, was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without a chance of parole for the murder of his best friend more than two decades ago. Durst, who has numerous medical issues, sat in a wheelchair with a catatonic stare during much of the sentencing hearing.

“He was very, very sick in the courtroom,” DeGuerin said Saturday.

He was convicted in Los Angeles Superior Court last month of first-degree murder for shooting Susan Berman point-blank in the back of the head at her home in December 2000.

The killing had been a mystery that haunted family and friends for 15 years before Durst was arrested in 2015 following his unwise decision to participate in a documentary that unearthed new evidence and caught him in a stunning confession.

DeGuerin said Thursday that Durst will appeal.

I hope that thing they call a man is in horrible,tremendous pain. He won't be happy when he goes where he is going and I don't mean prison.

@SeaMaiden so he's very sick while in the courtroom and nobody thought to test him for Covid? I would be livid if I was in the courtroom and he was there possibly infecting innocent people!

......You look like I need a drink.....

In all due to his chronic health problems and now covid 19 , he may never spend as much time in prison as he should. However, it would be something for him to come clean abt his wife's disappearance .
