The 72-year-old subject of a recent HBO documentary [_The Jinx_](http://time.com/3745422/the-jinx-robert-durst-hbo-finale/ "undefined") in which he was recorded saying he [“killed them all of course](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/millionaire-robert-durst-arrested-new-orleans-saturday-article-1.2149902 "undefined")” will be arraigned on a pending murder charge by Aug. 18, 2016 for the 2000 killing of Susan Berman, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said. The agreement was reached Tuesday by Durst and his attorneys, prosecutors said. Durst has been accused of several murders over the years, including that of his wife, Kathie. He also admitted to killing his neighbor, Morris Black, claiming it was in self-defense, and a jury acquitted him of murder in 2003. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4159624/robert-durst-extradited/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4159624/robert-durst-extradited/"},"headline":"Robert Durst To Be Extradited To Los Angeles on Murder Charge","datePublished":"2015-12-22T23:06:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:01:25.302Z","description":"He'll be arraigned by next summer","url":"https://time.com/4159624/robert-durst-extradited/","keywords":["Crime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3bfec580b838cb31/6987846bf887dc44d2e8aaff/robert-durst2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3bfec580b838cb31/6987846bf887dc44d2e8aaff/robert-durst2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Robert Durst","caption":"Robert Durst","creditText":"Jefferson Siegel—New York Daily News/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4159624/robert-durst-extradited/","name":"Robert Durst To Be Extradited To Los Angeles on Murder Charge"}}]}] ```
