It took nearly 15 years for police to arrest New York real estate heir Robert Durst in the killing of his best friend and another five to bring him to trial. After just two days of testimony, jurors were sent home in March 2020 when the coronavirus closed courthouses.
On Monday, more than 14 months later, the jury is returning to Los Angeles County Superior Court to see if they can complete their assignment. If so, it could be a first for the U.S. legal system.
Durst’s lawyers say the length of the stoppage is unprecedented. They have repeatedly sought a mistrial on the grounds that the delay has harmed his chance of a fair trial in the country’s highest-profile case to be postponed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
