Robert Durst to be moved to Indiana prison, but lawyer wants him sent to Los Angeles for murder trial

New York real estate heir Robert Durst has been assigned to an Indiana federal prison, frustrating his defense attorney, who said Sunday that he wants Durst sent to Los Angeles to face a murder charge in the death of his friend Susan Berman. Last December, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office reached an extradition deal with Durst's attorneys. Durst, 73, was due to be transferred by Aug. 18 to a federal prison in Southern California after he agreed to plead guilty to a weapons charge in New Orleans. But Durst has remained in a Louisiana jail. His legal team learned Friday that he was to be relocated to a federal prison with a a specialized medical facility in Terre Haute, Ind. "It is contrary to everything that was agreed upon," attorney Richard DeGuerin told The Times.
