Los Angeles County prosecutors on Wednesday likened Robert Durst's testimony in his murder trial to cockroach soup, displaying a photograph of a bowl full of bugs in court to suggest all his testimony should be discarded.
Closing statements began in the trial of Durst, a multimillionaire real estate heir accused of killing his friend Susan Berman at her Beverly Hills home, where she was shot in the back of the head in 2000.
The trial is nearing its conclusion six years after Durst's apparent confession to multiple killings in the HBO television documentary series "The Jinx." "You can't tell which part of that soup is tainted, and which part of that soup is not tainted. It's all infected with lies," Balian said, displaying on the courtroom screen a photo of a cockroach plucked from a bowl of soup.
