The utter stupidity of the Durst jury is paramount here. Although prosecutors thought they had a slam-dunk case against Durst----his confession----so they may not have presented enough evidence (not blaming them---just an observation).
The case was so cut and dry----Durst admitted to killing the guy. Any idiot would have locked him up for life---any idiot but the Galveston jury, that is.
The brain-dead jury never thought of his potential to kill again, eh? And they said the OJ jury was dumb. Galveston jury takes the cake---dumb, dumber, dumbest.
I understand local papers noted that after the verdict, at least one of the jurors visited Durst in jail numerous times, and that the juror experienced an unexpected real estate windfall. But of course nothing ever came of it. The MSM has other, more important things to do.
The District Judge on the case was anoyed with the not-guilty verdict. So she put a $3 billion dollar (she actually said Billion with a "B") bond on him for bail-jumping and evidence-tampering charges. She did her best to keep him in jail. But, alas, Durst's high-priced defense had her removed and got his bond reduced.
Yeah, it was originally $2 Billion with a B and she upped it to $3 Billion with a B. I do remember when she said the "B" each time, lol. "Unconstitutional!"
The guy I wondered about (besides wondering about that whole blasted jury) was the LEO who answered on the stand "No" when asked on cross by the Def if there was anything he saw that would rule OUT self-defense. Would love to know if HE has experienced a windfall in the last couple of years, too!
