The Jinx Recap: Not a Professional Context


Durst’s defense strategy is starting to get wobbly.

The episode then moves on to the important priority of establishing Durst as being in Los Angeles at the time of the murder — which is fine, but, again, a little too speedy a pivot away from Brenner, whose motives and actions deserve more scrutiny given the questions raised about it. With the defense objecting strenuously and futilely about Emily being under attorney-client privilege, she ends up placing Durst at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles at the time of the murder — a fact that he’d spent 19 years denying.
