\"\"Plenty of people have ended up in hot water after saying something that was picked up by a “live” mic that they forgot they were wearing. President Obama<\/a> leaning in to promise Russian president Dmitry Medvedev “more flexibility” after the election; President George W. Bush<\/a> calling a NYT<\/em> reporter “a major-league a@*%#*!”; and Jesse Jackson issuing a fairly graphic threat to President Obama for “talking down to Black people.”<\/p>\n

This is such a common occurrence that Time<\/em> magazine has assembled a Top 10 list<\/a> for our amusement.<\/p>\n

But the latest “caught on mic” moment may lead to a murder conviction for an eccentric (to say the least) character who was the subject of a recent HBO documentary. According to a report in the New York Daily News<\/em>,<\/p>\n

The LAPD recently reopened its Berman investigation, bolstered by new evidence in the HBO documentary by Andrew Jarecki, \u201cThe Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Durst appears to make a chilling confession in the final episode of the six-part series when he says off-camera \u2014 while his mic is still live \u2014 \u201cWhat the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fame and fortune have an odd way of bringing out the worst in people…but if there’s one thing for sure,\u00a0this real-life, made-for-TV drama will continue to\u00a0attract attention and win ratings. For you binge-viewers, the entire series will be airing back-to-back on HBO, starting at 3pm on March 21st.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
