Whatever jurors may have forgotten about Durst -- from the cloud of suspicion that has dogged him for decades to his claims of being trailed by bad luck -- they will be reminded in a new round of opening arguments. Durst, 78, an heir to a New York commercial real estate empire, is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of his best friend, Susan Berman. She was shot in the back of the head at her Los Angeles home in December 2000. Durst has pleaded not guilty. His lawyer said Durst didn't kill her and doesn't know who did, though he conceded last year that Durst found her body, putting him at the crime scene for the first time.
