This old man is going down killing his girlfriend, peeing in CVS and causing murder.
HOUSTON -- Robert Durst, the wealthy New York City real estate heir who was acquitted in the murder of a Galveston man, has been fined $500 after he pleaded nolo contendere Tuesday morning to a charge of criminal mischief.
Durst, 71, faced the charge after he allegedly relieved himself on a checkout counter and a candy rack at the CVS pharmacy on Kirby near Rice Boulevard at about noon on July 20, 2014.
A CVS employee told police that Durst picked up a prescription before exposing himself and urinating on the candy. Durst then walked out and the CVS employee called police.
The officer presented the complaint to the District Attorney's Office, which accepted a Class B criminal mischief charge against Durst.
Back in 2003, Durst claimed self-defense in his trial for the killing of a 71-year-old friend named Morris Black, whose corpse he chopped into pieces. He also admitted putting parts of Black s body into plastic bags and dumping them into Galveston Bay.
A trio of Houston's highest profile and probably highest paid defense attorneys -- Dick DeGuerin, Chip Lewis and Mike Ramsey won an acquittal that seemed to stun even Durst himself.
After the criminal mischief charge, Lewis once again defended his client, whom he said suffers from a form of autism known as Asperger's syndrome.
"Mr. Durst expressed his apologies to CVS for this unfortunate medical mishap. He compensated them for the damage and appreciates their understanding," Lewis said in a statement released Tuesday.
Before his acquittal in the Black killing, law enforcement authorities had questioned Durst in connection with at least two other high-profile crimes. In 1982, his wife Kathie disappeared and Durst, who friends said physically abused his spouse, waited several days before reporting her missing. In 2000, after investigators probing that disappearance contacted Susan Berman, a confidante of Durst, Berman was found murdered with a gunshot wound to the back of her head.
Maybe he has a urinary issue and was too prideful to say it, so he'd rather go with misdemeanor or something. He probably thinks that's less embarassing. Btw, is it that same person that they're doing a show over and was said just last week to have pleade guilty to the murders of a few people?
