I just posted on the old thread. I'll jump to this one.

"It is the prosecutions job to Proove beyond any reasonable doubt that it was not self defense.
They didn't do it."

That was what the jury separated out from all of the rest of the story.

I agree with another freeper who said "Why have humans?" I think it was a verdict devoid of justice. I guess Durst got a jury of his peers - coldblooded and not in touch with reality.

>/sarcasm on< Why this jury weren't bumpkins, they were legal scholars. They could be Supreme Court Justices.

As to the headline. The truth is even better. He didn't cut him up with a chainsaw. He went over a few blocks to the hardware store and bought a hacksaw, blades, drop cloth, and some other items. One of the leads for the police as to who did it was the sales slip for the items in Durst's trash.

Every part of the story is wild. Durst actually got bail on a murder charge where the body had been hacked up. Then duh, he jumps bail. The police, the court, the prosecuters were HANDED the case and the guy is found NOT GUILTY!!!!!

BTW, he's not roaming around free. He's still in jail on the jumping bond charge. That one will be a little harder to beat, but hey, give me a Galveston jury any day. Maybe the jury can be convinced that he WANTED to adhere to the terms of bail, but he was dazed and confused and therefore not liable for his actions.

This post will probably wrap up the bump in the news on Robert Durst's verdict, so I do want to get in a few words about the comments on Galveston.

I think everything previously said about the isle is true. It is a very rich and complex stew. It is not homogeneous. It is not bland. It is never dull. It is like living in another country.

Dear God, if I'm going to live a long time, just don't let it be dull......GalvestonGal 1947
