Judge to Durst jurors after delay: ‘Where did we leave off?’

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The murder trial of multimillionaire Robert Durst has resumed without the defendant present and with arguments about whether the case should continue at all after a 14-month recess. Judge Mark Windham said Monday that Durst refused to leave the jail, though his lawyer disputed that account. Windham denied a defense request to suspend the case further because Durst has bladder cancer and other health problems that require hospitalization. The judge planned to question jurors to find out if they can continue to serve four to five more months. Durst has pleaded not guilty in the killing of his best friend in 2000.
