Durst, 78, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 18 and faces a mandatory term of life in prison without parole. He was not in court Friday for the verdict because he was recently exposed to someone with the coronavirus. The verdict comes after multiple attempts to prosecute him for crimes spanning nearly four decades. He had previously been acquitted of murder in the 2001 killing of Morris Black, a 71-year-old neighbor in Texas.
