LOS ANGELES (AP) Robert Durst testified Tuesday that he was not confessing to any killings when he was captured speaking to himself on a live microphone after filming a documentary about his life and the deaths of people close to him.
In the climactic scene of The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, the New York real estate heir could be heard in a bathroom muttering: What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.
Durst, who had just been caught in a lie that implicated him in the killing of his best friend, said he either didnt say everything he was thinking or didnt speak loudly enough for the mic to catch it.
What I did not say out loud or, perhaps I said very softly, is: Theyll all think I killed them all, of course, he testified.
