Let me show you the Defendant's Exhibit, 52 and 53,
and ask you what these photographs show.
That was us on our wedding day.
That was us on our wedding day, too.
Do you remember when you first heard about Bob?
If you had him sitting here, what would you say to him?
Even in the '70s, was the Durst family business,
the Durst Organization, a powerful business entity in New York?
We were always one of the top five or six owners of property in Manhattan.
Were you interested in that business?
No.
What happened to the health food store?
We sort of sold it.
Why did you sell it?
I had gone along with my father's wishes
and agreed to go into the family business.
- Did you want to go back to New York? -No.
Why didn't she leave?
So, now you've become junior detectives.
Now, Bob's told you this is what happened.
Then you hear from the neighbors saying this didn't happen.
