On Tuesday September 14th, John Lewin concluded his rebuttal for the prosecution in the trial of Robert Durst. In this episode, “This Is Not Hard”: Closing Arguments — Part 4, Host Kary Antholis and co-host Brittany Bookbinder dive into the dramatic last day of closing arguments, exploring Lewin’s methodical disassembling of Durst’s larger narrative: Durst is simply a person with terrible luck. Kary and Brittany are then joined by Charles V. Bagli — who is covering the Durst story for The New York Times and CrimeStory.com — for a final discussion of the closings and some general reflections on our coverage of this trial.
