Is it possible that Durst bought a juror or two?

I am flabbergasted!!
Robert Durst has been found "NOT Guilty" of 1st degree murder.
The disappearance and very probable murder of Durst's 1st wife will most likely never bring charges against this psychopath.
What a huge mistake the district attys office made in going for broke. 1st degree murder - period. No lesser included charges available for the jury to consider.
Too much important info that the jury was never allowed to hear or consider.
In addition ..Jury instructions, IMO .. are so predudicial toward finding the defendant "not guilty" that they have a tendency to tie the hands of the jury.
Another "monied" but very dangerous defendant walks to freedom ... but hey - that's our justice & jury system at work.
Today's verdict is very disappointing!

I just posted under Crimes in the News, or something similar. I live in Houston so this is a huge deal here every single day since jury selection began. Everyone is just shocked that he was found not guilty. They are immediately, according to the news, bringing other charges, but who cares! In the end he killed a 71 year old man, mean and ugly or not, he's dead and this guy walked out of the courthouse this morning FREE!. I'm ashamed to say it happened here.

I couldn't believe it! Go on to courttv.com and look at his face as the verdict is read. He's even speechless. Very scarey that they are letting this guy back out onto the streets.
He is wanted for jumping bail though in regards to his wife's murder. Maybe he won't be out for long. But God knows what he can do during that time.

Outrageous. Dick Deguerrin (sp?) is just about the best criminal defense attorney in the nation. I think it's funny that Durst wanted to fire him right before the trial cause he was balking at the bill. I think the dispute was over about 200k that Deguerrin wanted extra.
Bet he won't mind paying the full bill now.
Unfortunately, this just goes to prove my theory that the majority of American citizens are hopeless morons who refuse to think for themselves. Very easily influenced by soundbites and empty rhetoric. Sounds harsh, doesn't it? It's not fun to feel this way, but I do. Saw a bumper sticker a few weeks ago that summed it up well--"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."
