Real estate mogul and American millionaire Robert Durst was convicted today by a jury in Los Angeles. The sentence is for the murder of his close friend Susan Berman nearly 20 years ago, the Associated Press reported.
The 78-year-old Durst was absent from the courtroom in the judgment of the jury, which sat for nearly seven hours for three days. He is in solitary confinement because he has been in contact with a coronavirus patient.
Now the millionaire is facing a life sentence without the right to pardon. The court hearing, at which the verdict will be pronounced, is scheduled for October 18.
Durst, who owns a number of office buildings in downtown New York, is currently valued at $ 100 million, BTA reported.
