The dinkz most want to do without. Justin bieber raked through the coals at a Comedy Central event. Tonight we want to do what we should have done a long time ago. This monday march 16th 2015. Announcer from nbc news this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie. Live from studio 1a in rockefeller through the bracket. You fill yours out. No . To my 13yearold son. Once again, we will talk more about that in a little while. Lets get to the top story. The heir to one of the countrys most wealthy real estate families. Now charged with another. Last night on the popular documentary the jinx he appeared to confess to even more crimes. Nbcs Stephanie Goss is where he is appearing in court. Good morning to you. Good morning, matt. Its extradition hearing and he is expected to waive extradition and being held without bail. Law enforcement said they arrested him in the lobby of a marriott where he checked in under an alias and was paying in cash and they caught him mumbling as he walked through the lobby. All of this from the documentary on him and they promised it would be a dramatic conclusion. The 71yearold is back behind bars this morning arrested in new orleans over the weekend in connection to the murder of long time friend susan berman. He is the suspect of the documentary, the jinx. I tell the whole truth. Nobody tells the whole truth. He examines three crimes. 1982 disappearance of his wife and a 2001 murder in texas for which he stood trial and was acquitted. Not guilty. And the murder he was arrested for late saturday. The shows finale aired hours after news of his arrest came public. In it he was confronted with a dom damning evidence that tied his handwriting to the presumed killer. He goes into the bathroom with his microphone still on. He begins talking to himself. What the hell did i do . Killed them all of course. Former prosecutor janine investigated him in 2000 during the time of bermans murder. Susan berman was killed because she knew too much about the case i was investigating and he knew she knew. I believe he murdered her to prevent her from talking to us. Kathleens friends feel a step closer to justice. I will take what i can get. If there is more forensic evidence there, why not. You can only put him away once. While his estranged brother expressed thanks. We are relieved and grateful to everyone who assisted in the arrest of robert durst and hope he will be held accountable for all he has done. The lapd would not confirm a connection between the evidence they say they have and the documentary. He said i et cetera anded more. He will plead not guilty in los angeles. Todays legal analyst and thoughts on the case. Good morning. Lets talk about the confession or what appears to be a confession. I think there is a threshold legal question and whether it would be admitted into court. They would argue it shouldnt be heard by jurors. Heres what the argument would be. They were communicating with Law Enforcement over a period of two years and acting as agency of the state. He had a reasonable expectation of privacy and therefore it should be excluded. If im the prosecutors, who has a reasonable expectation of privacy. What if there is somebody in the next stall . He had a lot of experience being hot miked. This was not his first interview. This was going on for months if not years. He could have been aware of whats happening. It appears when he said i killed them all to be a confession. What do you do if you are a defense lawyer with a piece of evidence like that. A couple of arguments that he has a mental disease or defect. He is rambling and incoherent. Or they can say he is sarcastic. What happened . Or i killed them all. The evidence was quite remarkable to come out. There was a letter sent by the killer to the police that spelled the word beverly in Beverly Hills wrong. They came up with a letter known to be sent from him to the victim in this case. It looks like similar handwriting and same misspelling. Is that a smoking gun . That is the most compelling evidence. He has a hard time explaining it. The handwriting analyst said it is a match. When you look at the letter n, it is a dead ringer. He has a hard time explaining that. I know you watched this first trial closely, the in texas. What do you make of the fact that Robert Dursts own words appear to be his own undoing. He sat for the interviews at great length over the advice of his attorneys. People want to confess. They want to talk to someone. Thats what happened here and if he is brought down its by his own words. Who knows. There is new evidence and they have a lot to work with. Lets move on to other news. The where knows of vladimir putin. The russian president made his first appearance in two weeks. Good morning to you. This may be resolved as we speak. We are just hearing from the Reuters News Agency that president putin has turned up for a meeting with the president of kerg stan. They suggest that meeting had already happened. There is so much intrigue. Over the weekend where is putin was trending while they were right. His reported girlfriend a glamorous former gymnast had been having a baby. Another suggestion that a coop was under way, shot dead while walking with his ukrainian girlfriend in the center of moscow. It is very centralized and we know little about whats going on. The famously sports loving leader has the flu, fighting a different cold war. One russian newspaper pictured him in bet. Officials tell us putin is believed to be under the weather. His image as a strong man even in past comedy sketches protected at all cost. Vlad its barack. I have been trying to call you. I have been playing iphone game candy crush. I take the candy and i crush it. Ten days since his previous appearance seen with italys prime minister. Today more than most in washington and around the world, all eyes were on russia. And we are still waiting to see at the video of president putin as to where he has been. In the past few hours, the president has continued to make decisions. Everything the president does is scrutinized. Perhaps he said that is just a reality when your president is a superstar. Thank you carry. Good pr guy there. Now tohistoric feat with a new round of snow. The city of boston is celebrating officially the snowiest season ever. Ron mott is there. Congratulations. You know you are a boston resident.

Turn to other news a man is in custody in the shootings of the two Police Officers out in ferguson missouri. That incident caught on camera set off an intense manhunt. Good morning to you. Good morning, matt. The shatooting came from that direction about 100 yards away from a vehicle hitting a line of Police Officers. The police and protesters milling about at the time. This morning is unclear whether they were targeting police or someone else. The shots rang out just after midnight early tuesday morning. Shots fired. One officer shot through the shoulder and the other hit in the face. They charged Jeffrey Williams with assault, armed criminal acts and firing from a vehicle. Punishable with life in prison. Was he involved in the protests . Yeah. Many there demonstrating said an outside agitator was responsible and not them. Police called it an ambush. They claimed the gunfire was a result of a dispute. I hate to be too narrow about this but we are not 100 sure. The reaction at Police Headquarters was intense. Critics and supporters of police facetoface. They are still struggling to find common ground. Prosecutors say the serious charges will be the same regardless of whether the gunman was targeting the police. Both are still at home and expected to recover and the suspect is expected to be in court for his first appearance later today. Matt . Ron, thank you very much.
