Durst, 78, was sentenced to life in prison without parole Thursday for murdering his close friend, Susan Berman, inside her Benedict Canyon home in 2000.
Durst has been held in a wing of USC Medical Center under the watch of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department throughout the trial, but it was not immediately clear if he was still in that facility or when or where he became infected with the coronavirus.
The 78-year-old spent the majority of the trial seated in a wheelchair. In court filings, Durst’s attorneys repeatedly sought a mistrial, claiming Durst was too sick to testify in his own defense.
A physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center who examined Durst previously testified that he was “profoundly malnourished” and at risk of “sudden death” from elevated levels of potassium, and said Durst had suffered a “mini stroke” during a 2019 court hearing.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark Windham slapped down each motion, dismissing the doctor’s testimony as “activism.” Durst ultimately spent 15 days on the witness stand at trial, often engaging in tense exchanges with Deputy Dist. Atty. John Lewin on cross-examination.

Did Hillary visit him too since she’s in California?
Is the crossdressing murderer being treated in the men’s wing or the woman’s wing?
Oh well.
A kind death for a worthless psychopath.
If he dies, he dies.
Aw. Bye.
Ten bucks says that some Osama Obama appointee will vacate the verdict claiming that Durst was not fit to stand trial.As a result he’ll die never having been convicted of a single murder.
That’s a shame.
Durst seems to have been residing at Death’s Door since Obama was president. His affairs should by now, be in order.

I'm no expert, but it sounds like their friendship may have been on shaky ground.
