LOS ANGELES (AP) — New York real estate heir Robert Durst has been sentenced to life in prison without a chance of parole for the murder of his best friend more that two decades ago.  He was convicted in Los Angeles Superior Court last month of first-degree murder for shooting Susan Berman point-blank in the back of the head at her home in December 2000.
