For those of you who've not watched The Jinx as yet - there are some SPOILER ALERTS contained. In short, Robert Durst is the antithesis of Making a Murderer's Steven Avery...

The New York Post is reporting that the 73-year-old multi-millionaire has been sentenced to seven years and 1 month - not for the alleged murder of his first wife Kathleen McCormack, or for the alleged murder of his friend Susan Berman - rather for a "weapons violation." According to the report: "Durst, as a previously convicted felon, had faced a maximum of 10 years for illegally carrying a .38-caliber revolver" in New Orleans.

It's a bit like the time he went on the run and, for some reason, decided to shoplift a hoagie, which resulted in his arrest. 

The New York real estate heir also stood trial for the murder of his neighbour, Morris Black, in Texas back in 2001. He got away with that killing - despite methodically dismembering the body and attempting to dispose of it at sea. Meanwhile, he is due to stand trial in August for the 2000 murder of Berman in California.

People Magazine reports that: "on Monday, Durst's attorney filed a motion for his client to serve his time at Terminal Island, California, where he would be closer to the trial venue and medical facilities... In March 2015, a Los Angeles judge signed an arrest warrant for Durst for the alleged murder of Berman. Days later, Durst was discovered in a New Orleans hotel where he had checked in under the alias 'Everette Ward'. A room search performed by the FBI uncovered a .38-caliber revolver, a mask and over $40,000 in cash, the press release states. Durst was indicted in April for the weapons charge." 

As for his wife, Kathleen, her body has never been found. The couple shared a cottage by Lake Truesdale in Salem, New York.
