Day 4 - John Lewin Cross Examines Robert Durst For The Murder of Friend Susan Berman Part 12

[@violatorsbeware4238]

This cross exam is as painful as if durst was dismembering a live victim. Good job Lewis at least you are giving him a taste of his own medicine.

[@roberttobias2153]

It's very uncomfortable watching a killer, who is no longer on top of his game, trying his best to remember his web of lies.

[@maarifa4772]

He is a sociopath. Plane and simple. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@kidranmienko8887]

Why doesn't the judge just let Mr. Lewin sit in the witness chair and testify for Robert Durst?

[@ccorleans3063]

💯🤣

[@patrishanotpatricia6456]

🤣 Lewin literally knows all the answers and pretty much everything about these cases

[@gentleeyes5555]

Lewin is doing a great job. Little by little he is chipping away at Durst. Durst’s true colors are starting to show. Plus those psycho and angry eyes of his. I bet if he had Lewin alone, Lewin would be the 4th known victim.

[@josiahesq2004]

Bob is not an expert witness, I'm not sure why the court is allowing all of these eleborate hypotheticals. If other witnesses testified to particular facts the state can argue them during closing. But forcing Bob to assume those facts is giving undue credence to those disputed facts.

[@tony5318]

Bob is an expert on Bob he can be asked on hypotheticals when they are supported by circumstantial and physical evidence, the questions are probative and therefore fair game since he put himself on the witness stand. Had he not testified the prosecutor would have no way to get it in except in his closing. So Bob is his own worst enemy.

My Dad went to the hardware store so often that my Mother always had me accompany him. When we returned my mother served me milk, cookies and incrementing questions! To this day I prefer strolling through hardware stores.

[@vanessafowler3704]

On direct this opened up … they gave hypotheticals … it’s all on the table for cross now & it’s a brilliant tactic when dealing with a narcissist. They love to say all they know about a “supposed” situation, Bob is sharp though, he’s learning to keep his mouth quieter. I’m guessing his attorneys after the first day of cross got on him about that.

[@alfrednobel3009]

he's being constantly asked hypotheticals or to "assume" things because he's constantly pretending not to remember things he said days, weeks or months ago or things he saw testified in this trial. the questions are convoluted but they keep him from getting out of answering anything by saying he doesn't remember.

[@Kim-Berly200]

I guess Bob had a rough weekend, he’s not as feisty with Lewin as he was last week.

[@bunnielebowski2007]

He got a stern talking to/training from deguerin. You can tell he is reciting certain phrases like a mantra when lewin questions him in order to avoid engaging/answering the questions.

[@A-Michele]

Oops, Durst asked Susan to call the school but they didn't know the correct number or person to call so she called the dean. Kathy would've known the correct person and number to call. Unfortunately Susan was loyal to the wrong person, tried to blackmail Durst for money saying the NY detectives were coming to see her and it cost her life.

Yeah after the trial. The defense made a deal with prosecutors to keep him from testifying that's why they admitted to all those other issues because if he testified Bob would be dead.

Don't forget were referring to 1982. No cell phones (what we had were equivalent to suitcases), no internet, limited surveillance abilities, etc. Makes me realize that we lived as barbarians. Also, I may be wrong but my interpretation of the hearsay rule is if the statement goes to the truth of the matter that has already been corroborated then it is admissable. Again, I may be wrong about that.

One of the worst prosecutors I've ever heard.convaluted questions laced with compounded statements

[@sarac1118]

I can see why one would think that. I don’t agree but only because I think he has done his research on Durst. This is the way to deal with a narcissist…just like Juan Martinez with Jodi Arias. To deal with him in a different way would be devastating to the case because of how “smart” Durst is. I believe this prosecutor has gotten so much more information out of him from dealing with him in this way, IMO.

[@MissReneeMichelle]

@@sarac1118 I agree with you - this is a very calculated method of cross. He's doing a fantastic job in exposing all of the lies that Durst has spread throughout his lifetime. Durst has a fantastic memory - he's proven how good his memory is by correcting Lewin multiple times when Lewin said a wrong date or didn't give a specific date.

[@maryb6672]

Lewin definitely has an unusual style. He’s eccentric & can be annoying at times. BUT, simply put, he’s the best. He’s developed a niche in his field & is considered one of the best cold case prosecutors in the country. What he’s known for is his extensive, excruciatingly detailed prep for witnesses on the stand. And then there’s the fact that he’s never lost a trial. Not once.

@@MartinAllen612 And it also seems that whenever a hypothetical question it's because such an event was said to have occurred via a witness, previous interview or because of some bizarre logic Durst attempts to make use of.

[@sharonavictoria7155]

Attorney's using profanity in the courtroom really ? Is there such a thing allowable as badgering the witness who's testifying or is that a made up term for tv courtroom dramas ? What's with all these hypotheticals ? Also nobody has an incredible memory at 80 Lol 😂😂 This trial is as bad as the documentary

[@vatechie21]

To the badgering part, I believe this is technically the objection: California Evidence Code 765(a): The court shall exercise reasonable control over the mode of interrogation of a witness so as to make interrogation as rapid, as distinct, and as effective for the ascertainment of the truth, as may be, and to protect the witness from undue harassment or embarrassment.
