In court documents filed Tuesday, lawyers for Durst assert that in the “best case scenario” the jury in the high-profile trial will have been recessed for at least 80 days and “it’s unrealistic for the jury to remember the evidence.” Durst, 77, has been in and out of the hospital since the suspension of his murder trial, Deguerin said.
“We are very concerned for our client’s well-being and ours,” Deguerin continued. “Two members of our team are over 70 years old, another will soon be 65. We’re not able to go into that jail and sit down with Bob [Durst.] We cannot call him. He can call us but only for three minutes and then the phone shuts off. And we’re concerned we are being recorded. It’s extremely difficult for us to communicate with our client right now and it was hard enough before the corona virus outbreak.
