WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) β Former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro has been on Robert Durst’s trail for 15 years.
Her doggedness has given her a unique perch to comment on Durst’s latest arrest for the Fox News Channel, where she’s the host of “Justice with Judge Jeanine.”
The re-emergence of Durst in HBO’s recent series “The Jinx” β and now a murder case in California β has brightened the spotlight on Pirro, who’s used to publicity. Her career has included a painful attempt to run against Hillary Rodham Clinton for U.S. Senate, being named one of People’s magazine’s “most beautiful people” and successfully winning re-election as district attorney while her husband served a prison term for tax fraud.
Last weekend, she was portrayed in a “Saturday Night Live” skit about Durst.
