Most of the moviegoers were emphasizing how smart or rich Robert was to get him off the hook.
First of all, everyone needs to understand that everyone has to make an inference of innocence before they are convicted, which is the fundamental reason why Robert is innocent in the Moss case. (I still don’t understand why, I recommend everyone to watch the movie 12 Citizens, but have a little understanding of this system)
So far, there is no direct evidence that he killed these three people, he just has a very big suspicion, and the perfect team of lawyers completely took the jury away, and today's result will be. At least in my opinion, dismembering a person's body so cruelly is sinful.
The following inferences about his guilt are purely personal opinions.
It may be a matter of age background. I don't think he has a high IQ. On the contrary, I think he has a certain degree of emotional cognitive impairment and split personality. I think all his so-called smooth escapes come from: the victim's helplessness It is caused by a combination of factors such as + personal calm and cruelty + family power + backward criminal investigation technology in the era.
1) What the victims have in common
One thing that cannot be ignored here is that the three victims we know so far all have one thing in common - they are not rich, and their social status is middle or even lower.
what does this mean?
- In the case of Kathie's disappearance, the police did not even search the home. Is it really just a simple malfeasance?
Is there no doubt about a single testimonial provider, with multiple contradictory statements?
All we can see is a spontaneous investigation by Kathie's family and friends, and the silence of the police after getting a suspicious piece of evidence. Kathie's family didn't even have the ability to buy this villa. They all knew that this might be the last place their daughter stayed before her death. They all knew that this might be the only place where a breakthrough could be found. , then it is very simple - no money, living people have to live.
The grief of the entire family did not mention that they hired private detectives to investigate this matter, but the Durst family spent a lot of money to hire professionals, so if their hired detectives found something, how would the family use their own abilities to make legal work? What about the obliteration? Are you going to present your results with both hands?
-Susan
Likewise, economic conditions are extremely poor.
In contrast, I personally feel that Su's case is Robert's biggest failure. Compared with Kathie and this group of "difficult" family members, Susan is simply easy to deal with. Lot of debts / Gangster background / Even if she dies, the police can only barely find her stepson? To collect relics, in Chinese words, there is not even a person who collects corpses. Without economic power/family pressure, who cares about the death of a woman who lives alone in debt?
With his financial strength and non-stupid mind, I even suspected that it was an impulsive crime. There are too many flaws. For example, Robert is very good at dealing with corpses in this closed crime. Kathie has no corpse, Morris was dismembered and thrown away, and only Susan has a back door. Kai/The body is lying on the side/The cause of death is clear, a letter full of his own notes.
-Morris
The same low social status, no money, and no family and friends after death.
No one seized the news a few days before the trial and used the media to build momentum, and there was no barrister to support him. The dead would not speak, but his corpse was fine, but unfortunately his corpse was not complete. The whereabouts of his head are still unknown.
- To sum up, these few people combined are not as easy as this family moving their fingers.
It is easy to put pressure on the local police, intervene in the review, and the barrister team exploits loopholes everywhere to teach Robert how to reasonably avoid unfavorable charges. These are things we can see and guess, so what can’t we see and guess?
Is it still possible to say that his family is not doing anything behind the scenes? In this way, can it be said that it is entirely his own ability to get to this day? In the film, it is very straightforward to say that in any public place, his family shows a kind of indifference that is almost indifferent, a kind of indifference that is obviously contrary to common sense. What the whole family has done behind the scenes, I am afraid that only these few people know.
2) Personal calm and cruelty
His modus operandi and emotions are more skilled than ever.
His emotional control in court and in interviews is horrifying. I even suspect that this person has a certain emotional cognitive impairment, and he can't distinguish between fear, anger and anxiety at all.
You can't even believe that he's really guilty, I've been reading it with the inference of innocence, until the last moment of the letter and the appearance of kill them all gave me goosebumps, this time the killer's notes are absolutely That's good evidence, and if so, only Kathie's case remains unsolved.
3) The power of the family
I still say that, this family has definitely done something that only we can't imagine.
4) Outdated criminal investigation methods + historical background
If DNA and other technologies can appear earlier, if electronics and surveillance can appear earlier, no matter how smart a lawyer is, it is impossible for him to go out so safely.
- In fact, all cases are like an old saying: at first you just told a lie, then you have to use more lies to make up the lie.
At first he killed his ex-wife, then either to keep his mouth shut or to abscond from being found out, he killed one by one.
