Susan Berman was careful to keep her doors and windows locked, but she had no fear of her close friend Robert Durst when he showed up at her Benedict Canyon home late one night in December 2000, so she let him in, a prosecutor told jurors on Tuesday.
“She turned around, she took a few steps, and he basically blew her brains out,” Deputy Dist. Atty. John Lewin said in his opening statement at Durst’s murder trial.
Fourteen months after the trial was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, it started over Tuesday at a Los Angeles County courthouse in Inglewood.
