Just and observation on the two lawyers Chernoff et al rolling around in their lawyer suits on the courtroom floor in a show and tell re the Morris Black killing . The gun is a Ruger .22 cal. not a magnum .22 just a std. You might take someone's eye out with one o those or half the nose off but to kill someone with a tangential shot from a 100mm barrel .22 .. it is very very unlikely. I have shot goats with something similar so I know of what I speak.
I'd say Morris was winged and winded with the shot and let go and then Robert then emptied the rest of the gun into him or at least five rounds. Here's an example of just how hard it is to kill someone with just one shot from an under powered gun - Dan Markel 2014 was shot once through the jaw with a short bbl 38 by S Garcia and then between the eyes. He still took 13.5 hrs to die.
I believe the whole story of manner of death for Black was hogwash. He would have had to be shot say under the jaw and with the gun pointing backwards in the struggle for it to be fatal . Even then one shot likely would not have killed him - depending on the precise ammo type.
So Durst likely executed him once he was disabled.
Durst got away with it because
A. He was rich . and -
B. he had the sense to cut of the head and bury it where it would never be found so his story of the struggle could not be disproven.
He's a prime candidate for lethal injection, given his serial killer history but I can see it will never happen.
