NEW ORLEANS — A California newspaper has published a Louisiana-postmarked letter purported to be from Robert Durst, who faces a murder charge in California while fighting weapons charges in New Orleans.
The letter posted on the Los Angeles Times website says nothing about Durst’s legal charges. The writer discusses living part-time in Los Angeles from 2008 to 2011 and states that his interests are “opera and pro football.” He touches on politics and his health problems.
Durst attorney Dick DeGuerin told the newspaper the letter’s scrawled cursive looks like Durst’s handwriting.
Durst, jailed without bond in Louisiana, pleaded not guilty Thursday to Louisiana weapons charges in New Orleans. He also faces a new federal weapons charge there.
Durst is charged in Los Angeles in the death of Susan Berman in 2000.
