Lawyers for accused murderer Robert Durst, subject of the HBO series “The Jinx,” have filed a motion for a mistrial due to what they call “a prejudicial mid-trial delay resulting from the COVD-19 pandemic.”

“Since jury selection, since the inquiries by both sides, those jurors lives changed with Covid-19. They are no longer the same people we interviewed. Because of this unprecedented change, he cannot get a fair trial,” Durst’s attorney Dick Deguerin told CNN. “His health has not been good at all,” the lawyer said. “He’s had urinary tract problems, his brain stent is malfunctioning and he’s got a growth on his lower bowel.”
John Lewin, the lead prosecutor in the Durst case, wants four New York area witnesses to have previous video-taped statements played before the jury, instead of them testifying in person.
