On Monday, Douglas provided character testimony about his brother and detailed their life growing up together in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe treated me miserably. He would fight with me at every chance,\u201d he explained. \u201cHe would embarrass me at every opportunity and it was a very difficult relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robert Durst has been on trial for the 2000 murder of his friend Susan Berman, which prosecutors alleged was an attempt to prevent her from sharing information she may have had about the disappearance of his wife Kathie. Kathie\u2019s disappearance happened 18 years prior.<\/p>\n<p>The crime saga made headlines due to its twists and turns. Onlookers have questioned how a man, who has been sitting in court confined to a wheelchair with such poor health his trial was delayed for a year, could have possibly committed three murders in various states over the span of 20 years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2440509\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2440509\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2440509\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1205351942-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Deputy District Attorney John Lewin presents audio evidence on the second day of opening statements in the murder trial of New York real estate scion Robert Durst in Los Angeles, California.

(Photo by Robyn Beck-Pool\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The tale became the subject of an HBO documentary on Robert\u2019s life. That documentary would later become evidence against him when Robert\u2019s apparent confession was caught on a hot mic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the hell did I do?\u201d he stated. \u201cKilled them all, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Douglas finished his testimony by telling prosecutors that he had little doubt his brother was capable of all he has been accused of. When asked by the prosecuting attorney about his current relationship with Robert, Douglas said he believes his brother would like to murder him.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/calif-bans-state-funded-travel-to-17-states-over-anti-lgbtq-laws\/\">Calif.
