Jury selection begins in 'The Jinx' murder trial of Robert Durst

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jury selection began on Wednesday in the Los Angeles murder trial of Robert Durst, the ailing New York real estate scion whose arrest prosecutors say was hastened by his confession to multiple killings in the 2015 TV documentary The Jinx.FILE PHOTO: Robert Durst attends a motions hearing on capital murder charges in the death of Susan Berman in Los Angeles, California, U.S. January 6, 2017. The trial is likely to run for about five months, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark Windham told prospective jurors assembled in the courtroom on Wednesday. He plans to seat 12 jurors and 12 alternates in a selection process that could last the better part of two weeks. In ordering Durst to stand trial, the judge said in 2018 that Dursts cryptic remark caught on mic operates as a succinct confession absent an explanation from the defendant. Prosecutors have suggested in court papers that Durst, after killing Berman, sent the note hoping her body would be discovered soon enough for the Jewish writer to receive a swift burial in keeping with her faith.

Exclusive: Robert Durst's attorneys take aim at filmmakers behind 'The Jinx' in murder case

Without such protections, the filmmakers could be forced to disclose information they came across in filming The Jinx to Dursts attorneys that could aid in his defense, two legal experts said.

Its evidence in a murder case, said Steve Cron, a defense attorney not associated with the case and a university lecturer. The filmmakers, according to the defense motion, consulted, coordinated and collaborated with authorities as far back as 2011 - four years before the documentary aired. The Jinx was not the work of journalists, Dursts attorneys wrote in the motion.
