Robert Durst's case is delayed after he was hospitalized for an unknown problem
A hearing in the murder case of New York real estate scion Robert Durst was postponed Thursday after the multimillionaire was hospitalized in the middle of the night, officials said.
Durst, who is accused of shooting his best friend, Susan Berman, was scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom for a third day of testimony from a retired NYPD detective, but the defendant never showed up.
Inside the courtroom Thursday afternoon, a bailiff approached Durst's defense team, telling them their client had been hospitalized at 1:30 a.m. The bailiff added that Durst had since been released back to the Los Angeles County jail but would not be transported to the courthouse.
Durst's attorneys said they didn't yet have any information on why their client was hospitalized. He has been jailed without bail since he was brought to Los Angeles to face the murder charge in November 2016.
