The series also features candid interviews with both prosecution and defense lawyers, as well as interviews with jurors and the trial judge.

With unparalleled access to the key players in the murder trial, and with pinpoint precision and clarity, THE JINX - PART TWO continues to excavate the world of a killer who managed to evade justice for over three decades.

As the first season of HBO's "The Jinx" is airing in early 2015, and incriminating evidence comes to light, Robert Durst - scion of one of New York's most powerful real estate families - goes on the run. He is captured in New Orleans and charged with the 2000 murder of his best friend, Susan Berman.
