Jfk's killer's son has the best elbow strikes in the game. To use the elbow on your wife without any regard to your relationship takes guts that I didn't know he had. Wish she would've followed up with a arm bar takedown but as the son of jfk's killer, you know he has elite defense.

That's the question Soy Boys don't want to answer. Bone saws were right next to my legos as a kid.

This is a bit of a stretch. College doesn't necessarily make you aware of current issues.

Are we really ready to destroy a man's career simply because he chopped up another man with a bone saw?

What do I tell my sons? That we now live in a world where murdering journalists is enough to ruin their lives?

Tell you what, white women raising criminals gotta fear for their sons.

Even if he did do it, which he didn’t, it’s not illegal there, and if it is illegal there, which it’s totally not, then they’ll pardon him, which they won’t have to becuase it’s super totally not illegal at all, and then we can end the rigged super duper totally illegal witch hunt

Well, they interviewed 'kids' from the OC. A majority of them are entitled living of their parents till forever. I'm sure their sheltered and cared for by their parents influence.

Not surprising.

Off-topic but this bit of sarcasm instantly reminded me of this case. Robert Durst chopped up the body of a neighbor he killed, allegedly in self defense during a struggle, and then proceeded to dump the body parts in Galveston Bay. A jury acquitted him.
Durst alleged that his neighbor took his gun and it accidentally went off and fatally shot the neighbor in his face during a struggle.
The trashbags filled with body parts ended up washing along the shoreline, though the head was never recovered.

Jury Acquits Body-Hacking Heir
New York real estate heir Robert Durst, who said he accidentally killed a hotheaded neighbor in self-defense and then chopped up the body because he feared no one would believe him, was found innocent Tuesday of murder.

The jury took five days to reach the verdict, bringing a startling end to a grisly case that began to unfold when trash bags containing pieces of 71-year-old Morris Black started washing up along Galveston Bay in 2001.

Durst appeared stunned when he heard the verdict, his mouth hanging slightly open and his eyes filling with tears. The 60-year-old millionaire hugged his attorneys, saying: "Thank you so much."

Durst, who has been estranged from his family since the early 1990s, remains under suspicion in the 1982 disappearance of his first wife and the 2000 shooting death of her friend Susan Berman, a Los Angeles writer who was set to be questioned about the missing woman. He has not been charged in either case.

Prosecutor Kurt Sistrunk said he was dismayed and disappointed with the verdict.

If he had been convicted, Durst could have gotten five to 99 years in prison.

"It's a fairly shocking result in a case where the defendant actually carved up the victim's body and dumped it in Galveston Bay," says CBSNews.com Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen. "Hardly the type of conduct you might expect from someone who now says it was all an accident. But jurors bought into that theory – that it was an accident – and delivered a big win for Durst."

Cohen says Durst was also "helped greatly by the fact that jurors had only one charge to consider, murder, because clearly this might have been a case where a lesser charge might have generated a conviction."

Durst met Black after moving from New York to Galveston, where the millionaire initially posed as a mute woman to escape attention in the two other deaths. He later dropped the masquerade and became friends with Black, who lived across the hall from him in a low-rent apartment building.

Durst's attorneys said the friendship soured because of the elderly man's increasingly belligerent behavior. Durst and other witnesses testified Black often flew into rages and got into fights.

During nearly four days on the stand, Durst testified that he found Black in his apartment on Sept. 28, 2001, and that Black had Durst's gun. During a struggle, the gun went off, hitting Black in the face, he said.

Durst testified that he panicked and feared police would not believe his story, so he used two saws and an ax to cut up the body and threw the pieces into Galveston Bay. The victim's head has never been found.

He said he could not recall details about dismembering the body, but when pressed by a prosecutor, he said it was "a nightmare with blood everywhere."

Prosecutors called Durst a cold-blooded killer who shot Black to steal his identity. They said the proof was how he meticulously covered up the crime by cutting up the body, cleaning the crime scene, fleeing Galveston and then returning to retrieve the head because it could identify his victim.

"Is it well-planned and calculated? You bet it is," Sistrunk said.

In a risky, all-or-nothing strategy by the defense, the jury was allowed to consider only murder, not lesser charges such as manslaughter. Durst still faces a bail-jumping count, which could bring up to 10 years in prison.

Defense attorney **** DeGuerin praised the jurors for "their ability to look at this case for what the charge was."

Juror Chris Lovell said: "From the very beginning of this trial the defense told us a story and they stuck to their guns all the way through. I did not believe everything they said, but every time they told us a story they were consistent in what was said."

"I did not want to convict this man on what I thought," Lovell told CBS News Correspondent Bob McNamara. "I wanted to make a decision on what I knew."

Another juror, Deborah Warren, said the panel made a great effort to figure out what happened. "There were people that cried, there were people that fussed and argued. ... My stomach is still knotted up," she said.

Durst came under suspicion after a receipt with his name on it was found in the trash bags containing Black's remains.

Durst was arrested and posted $300,000 bond, but then fled. It was not until Durst made bail that authorities discovered he was a millionaire heir. He was a fugitive for six weeks before he was caught in Pennsylvania trying to shoplift a $5 sandwich even though he had $500 in his pocket.

Durst is the son of the late Seymour Durst, patriarch of the Durst Organization, a billion-dollar real estate company that owns several New York skyscrapers. The company declined to comment on the verdict.

Durst had moved to Galveston disguised as a woman after a New York investigation was reopened into the disappearance of his first wife, Kathleen.
