As David Chesnoff concludes the defense team's opening statement, it becomes clear that the jury will have to choose between two ways of interpreting evidence: Will they be guided by Chesnoff's mantra that "no evidence is evidence" deciding that the lack of CSI-type forensic evidence leaves them with reasonable doubt of Durst's guilt, or will they follow Lewin's OK Boomer Method deciding that the mess of circumstantial evidence surrounding Durst's actions and statements and the statements of others leaves only one reasonable explanation: that Robert Durst killed Susan Berman. And then, after two days of testimony the LA courts were shut down due to COVID-19 and the trial was suspended until next Spring. The episode concludes with a taste of the testimony that lies ahead in Season Two, and with an update on our plans to cover these proceedings in the coming months.
