Real estate heir and accused murderer, Robert Durst, regrets his decision to appear on The Jinx. The true crime docuseries aired on HBO back in 2015, examining the murders of Durst's first wife Kathleen McCormack in 1982, his friend Susan Berman in 2000, and his neighbor Morris Black in 2001, all of whom Durst has been suspected of killing. The day before the final episode of The Jinx aired, Durst was arrested in New Orleans for charges of first-degree murder of Berman, with the episode later disclosing a shocking ending of Durst famously talking to himself, unaware his microphone was still on, and ending his ramble saying, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."
According to The Wrap, Durst has expressed his involvement on The Jinx to be a "very, very, very, big mistake" during his testimony in his murder trial. Durst also claims that his confession was taken out of context, referring instead to his reaction that he had written a letter to the police that he saw Berman's body, and his worry that police would think that he would be the main suspect. Durst's trial has faced multiple delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic, having originally began March 2020.
Durst's retrospective reflection on being interviewed on The Jinx clearly does not come as a surprise, given that the six-episode series shined a light back on the investigation and opened him up for possible incrimination. Durst was previously acquitted back in 2003 for the murder of Black on the cause of self-defense. With the trial of Berman officially underway, hopefully justice will be served and the full truth will be brought to light.
