The best thing to come out of the six-part documentary about suspected murderer, wealthy New York real estate heir and all-around very strange person Robert Durst wasn't the supposed confession recorded by the film crew while he was in the bathroom wearing a hot mic. And the best thing to come out of it wasn't his arrest on the eve of the airing of the final episode of the mini-series, titled "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst," for the murder of one his best friends and defenders in Los Angeles. And it wasn't the moment when filmmaker Andrew Jarecki asked him, in reference to the time Durst went on the lam, jumping bail set in a murder case in Texas and fleeing to Pennsylvania, where he was arrested shoplifting a sub at a Wegman's, whether he had intentionally shaved his eyebrows and Durst replied, "How do you accidentally shave your eyebrows?" Nor was it the multitude of creepy moments spent with the astonishingly creepy Durst and his strange tics, black, shark-like eyes and weird speaking manner. No, it came in an Associated Press story, sent over the service's broadcast wire, that read: "A Louisiana State Police trooper says millionaire Robert Durst has been booked on weapons charges in that state — on top of a first-degree murder charge lodged by Los Angeles authorities. Trooper Melissa Matey told the Associated Press that an arrest warrant was issued for the former Limp Bizkit frontman and he was rebooked in the Orleans Parish Jail on Monday under two new charges." Limp Bizkit frontman? Of course, it was the wrong Durst, and the error led to this correction being issued: "In the second item of the California 10th NewsMinute sent March 16 to users of the state broadcast wire, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Robert Durst is a member of a band. He is a real estate heir; Fred Durst is the former frontman of Limp Bizkit." In this Aug. 15, 2014 file photo, New York City real estate heir Robert Durst leaves a Houston courtroom. Durst was arrested in New Orleans on an extradition warrant to Los Angeles on Saturday, March 14, 2015. (AP Photo/Pat Sullivan, File) Whatever the man's crimes — and he's innocent until proven guilty — Robert Durst cannot be blamed for the offenses against humanity committed by Fred Durst. The screw-up launched a thousand Fred Durst jokes, the gist of which were that no matter what Robert Durst did, he wasn't even close to being the worse Durst on the planet. On the other hand, having its lead singer confused for a suspected serial killer is the most attention the band has attracted in 15 years. And you can be sure that Robert Durst is distressed by the error. Or would be if he weren't kind of occupied a the moment, what with the murder charges and all. But then again, he'll probably beat the rap. To review, for those unfamiliar with the case or the documentary, Durst has long been suspected in the 1982 disappearance of his wife. He was also a suspect in the 2000 shooting of a woman who was a friend and among his most staunch defenders. And in 2001, he was charged with killing his neighbor in Galveston, Texas, after garbage bags containing dismembered parts of the neighbor were found in the bay. That last case has to be among the weirdest criminal defenses in the history of criminal defense. He claimed he killed the neighbor by accident during a scuffle and that his neighbor was the one who attacked him — and it was self-defense. He explained that he cut up his neighbor's body and threw it into the bay, fearing the police wouldn't believe he killed the man in self-defense because he was suspected of killing his wife. That's right. His defense was based, in part, on the fact that he was a suspect in another murder. And it worked. He got off. And that was in Texas, where they execute serial jaywalkers. The new case involves evidence unearthed during the filming of Jarecki's documentary. It has raised some serious questions about the role of the filmmaker and whether he had withheld evidence from authorities to make his film more dramatic, and whether Durst's alleged confession was really a confession or just the mumblings of a strange person, and whether any of it will be admissible in court when, and if, it goes to trial. The evidence was a note that a friend of the victim found in her personal effects, a hand-written note from Durst. The handwriting, block letters, was similar to that on an anonymous letter sent to police the day after the woman was murdered, notifying police that a "cadaver" was at her address. Both notes misspelled Beverly, as in Beverly Hills, "Beverley." Jarecki confronted Durst with the evidence, and Durst denied writing the note to the cops, acting weird and making strange burping noises. The interview ended, and Durst excused himself to go to the bathroom, not remembering he was still wearing the mic and it was hot. He was recorded in the bathroom saying, "There it is. You're caught. You're right, of course. But you can't imagine. Arrest him. I don't know what's in the house. Oh, I want this. What a disaster. He was right. I was wrong. And the burping. I'm having difficulty with the question. What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." A couple of things to learn from this. If you're going to kill, oh, let's say, three people, it helps if you have vast wealth, as Durst has. His family is among the richest in New York, and he has the wealth to be able to hire very good lawyers. And once you hire good lawyers, listen to them. His lawyer told him not to grant the interviews that led to the series, but Durst said he wanted to do it, either from ego or just mania. Also, make sure the mic's off before you say something stupid. Anyway, despite the majority of public opinion that the guy's probably guilty, and what seems to be adequate evidence, Durst probably has a good chance to beat this rap. His lawyers can ague that his so-called confession was not intended to be a confession and, besides, it may be inadmissible in court. He could explain the note away, saying his went to visit his friend and found her body and wrote a note to the cops so her body wouldn't just lie there. He'd say he couldn't call the cops because they wouldn't believe him because of his past. At least, he could argue, he didn't cut her up and dump her body in Pacific. But the most compelling argument that he's going to beat the rap is the simplest — California. Home of O.J. Simpson. And Robert Blake. And the late Michael Jackson. And the Los Angeles Police Department. I rest my case. Mike Argento's column appears Mondays and Fridays in Living and Sundays in Viewpoints. Reach him at mike@ydr.com or 771-2046.

PRIZNAO TRI UBOJSTVA TOTALNI PAD BOGATOG MOĆNIKA Ščepali ga na ulasku u hotel: 'Što sam to učinio? Sve sam ih ubio!' Kontroverzni Robert Durst snimljen je kada je sam sa sobom pričao u WC-u nakon intervjua Evo ti ga, uhvaćen si. Što si, dovraga, učinio? Ubio ih sve, naravno - rekao je sam sebi ekscentrični milijunaš Robert Durst (71) u hotelskom toaletu u koji je otišao nakon intervjua s autorima HBO-ova dokumentarca “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst”. U tom trenutku na sebi je još uvijek imao mikrofon koji je nosio za potrebe intervjua, a njegovo navodno priznanje, koje su mnogi, uključujući i njegovu obitelj, čekali desetljećima, emitirano je ove nedjelje, u posljednjem od šest nastavaka dokumentarnog serijala koji je tematizirao trostruko ubojstvo s kojim se milijunaša povezuje - njegove prve žene Kathie, susjeda Morrisa Blacka te prijateljice Susan Berman. Propucani zatiljak Dan prije nego što je dokumentarac prikazan, dakle u subotu, Durst je ponovno uhićen, ovaj put u hotelu u New Orleansu. Agenti FBI-a ščepali su ga pri ulasku u hotel, u koji se bio prijavio pod imenom Everett Ward, i to nakon što je tužiteljstvo u Los Angelesu izdalo nalog za njegovo uhićenje zbog ubojstva Susan Berman 2000. godine. Durst sada u pritvoru čeka saslušanje. I dalje inzistira da je nevin. Milijunašu ovo nije ni približno prvi susret s policijom. Prvi je put uhićen 1982. godine kada je njegova supruga Kathie misteriozno nestala iz njihove vikendice pod potpuno nerazjašnjenim okolnostima. Za njezin nestanak nikad nije optužen i slučaj je bio neriješen 18 godina sve dok policija 2000. nije ponovno otvorila istragu. Stvari se tada dodatno kompliciraju. Na Badnjak 2000. godine Durstova prijateljica i glasnogovornica Susan Berman (inače, kako je se opisuje, “kći gangstera koji je pomagao sagraditi Las Vegas”) nađena je ubijena u svom stanu, propucanog zatiljka. Likvidirana je tik prije nego što ju je policija željela ispitati o Kathienu nestanku jer je navodno imala informacije o tome. Ostaci u vrećama Sumnja je isti tren pala na Dursta, ali on se ponovno izvukao (policija ga nije mogla smjestiti na mjesto zločina) sve do listopada 2001. kad je naposljetku uhićen u Pennsylvaniji nakon više od 40 dana dugačke policijske potjere. Uhićen je u supermarketu kad je pokušavao ukrasti sendvič s piletinom, flastere i novine, iako je u džepu imao 500 dolara. U automobilu koji je unajmio pronađena su dva pištolja, 35 tisuća dolara, marihuana i vozačka dozvola čovjeka po imenu Morris Black. Black je bio Durstov susjed i policija je milijunaša lovila upravo zbog njegova ubojstva. Naime, Blackovi su raskomadani ostaci pronađeni kako plutaju u zaljevu Galveston u istoimenom gradu u Teksasu u kojem je Robert Durst privremeno živio, i to prerušen u gluhonijemu ženu. Potraga za glavom Policija ga je uhitila, zatim pustila uz jamčevinu, ali nije se pojavio na sudu pa je krenula potjera. Nakon neslavnog epiloga sa sendvičem, Durst je doista završio na sudu zbog Blackova ubojstva, no porotu je uspio uvjeriti da ga je ubio u samoobrani. Posvađali su se, fizički obračunavali i zatim je opalio pištolj. Uvjeren da mu nitko neće vjerovati, Durst se uhvatio pile i raščetvorio ga. Torzo, ruke i noge su pronađeni, ali glava nije. Nakon njegova najnovijeg uhićenja oglasila se i Durstova obitelj (čije se bogatstvo procjenjuje na najmanje četiri milijarde dolara), rekavši kako osjeća olakšanje te “zahvaljuje svima koji su pomogli u njegovu uhićenju”. Htio ubiti i brata? - Nadamo se da će konačno preuzeti odgovornost za sve što je učinio - rekao je njegov brat Douglas za novinsku agenciju AP. Douglas i ostali članovi obitelji već dugo nisu u dobrim odnosima s njim. Protiv Roberta su, tvrdeći da ga se boje, tražili ukupno 13 sudskih zabrana približavanja. Prema novim detaljima koji izlaze u javnost, Durst je navodno prijetio da će ubiti mlađeg brata, koji trenutačno vodi njihovo njujorško carstvo nekretnina koje im je ostavio otac Seymour Durst. U petom nastavku dokumentarca spominje se i pismo koje bi na kraju možda moglo odigrati bitnu ulogu u cijelom misteriju. Naime, na dan kad je Susan Berman ubijena, policija je dobila anonimno pismo u kojemu ih se obavještava o truplu u njenoj kući. Poruka je bila napisana tiskanim slovima i imala je pravopisnu pogrešku. Umjesto Beverly Hills, pisalo je “beverley”. Sad autori tvrde da je među starim stvarima Susan Berman pronađeno i pismo od Dursta iz ožujka 1999. I to je pismo napisano tiskanim slovima, a riječ “Beverly” je ponovno krivo napisana, na isti način kao i u pismu policiji. Kad su ga suočili s tim u dokumentarcu, Durst je negirao da je napisao pismo policiji, no zaključio je da su ona “vrlo slična”. Nakon toga je pričao sam sa sobom u WC-u. Više o...
