Over the course of the six weeks of The Jinx 2 series we are re-releasing 27 of our favorite episodes about the Durst trial from the Jury Duty feed.
Today we continue our four-part presentation of our episodes covering the lawyers’ closing arguments in the trial.
This is Season 2 Episode 32: Small Time Caveman Lawyer: Closing Arguments — Part 2
On Thursday September 9th, 2021, Ethan Milius and Habib Balian wrapped up closing arguments for the prosecution and Dick DeGuerin commenced closing arguments for the defense. In this episode, host Kary Antholis and co-host Brittany Bookbinder discuss the stark contrast between the prosecution’s appeal to the jury with a rapid-fire display of facts in evidence and the defense’s approach of courting sympathy for an elderly client and portrayal of the court’s rulings in the trial as highly prejudicial. Kary and Brittany are joined by Charles V. Bagli, who is covering the trial for The New York Times and CrimeStory.com, to discuss the day’s arguments, as well as the fireworks that erupted between the parties once the jury left the courtroom.
