A Los Angeles judge denied a request for a mistrial Tuesday in the murder case against New York real estate heir Robert Durst after a three-month delay from the coronavirus outbreak.

Judge Mark Windham said Durst’s right to a fair trial has not been compromised by putting the case on hold in March just days after it began.

It is scheduled to resume in July in an Inglewood courthouse that has a larger courtroom to accommodate social distancing.

Defense attorney David Chesnoff argued by phone that Durst would not be able to get adequate legal representation because he and two other members of his legal team have been told by doctors not to appear in court because of the virus.

 He also argued that jurors, court staff, prosecutors and spectators could be exposed to the virus in the courtroom, restrooms, elevators and cafeteria.
