Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder
Anonymous Meoward writes "Today Hans Reiser was found guilty of first degree murder in Oakland, California. Quoting Wired: 'In a murder case with no body, no crime scene, no reliable eyewitness and virtually no physical evidence, the prosecution began the trial last November with a daunting task ahead... The turning point in the trial came when Reiser took the stand in his own defense March 3.' Whether he really did it or not, Hans basically just didn't know when to shut up."
No evidence? No body? No murder weapon? Who cares! The prosecutor used Power Point in his closing.. The defendant is "weird".
Oh well, maybe Hans will confess and reveal where he stashed the body now.

How we know is more important than what we know.
you should see the moron he has for counsel!
It's written in his journal!
>Too bad ReiserFS will probably die
I'm guessing it will disappear in the middle of the night, never to be heard from again. Police will arrest the xfs maintainer on chargest, the evidence being that neighbors saw him carry out what could have been a backup tape wrapped in a roll of carpet in the middle of the night.
Don't answer questions. If you must talk, please state the following: 1) "Am I under arrest?" If YES, then say, "I want a lawyer."
This line of action may come across rather as rather peculiar during court proceedings.
Heh.
From the SFGate blog article: "After the verdict was read, the judge told deputies to remove Reiser from the courtroom. As he was led out, he asked, 'Can I talk to my attorney?'"
How about next time, Hans tries listening to his attorney?
Cue the chroot jokes.
OK. Thats a fucked-up social circle.
The defense attorney was fresh out of tranquilizer darts. Besides, Hans' mouth had journalled the transaction.

Ba dum dum. Thank you. I'm here all week. Have the lobster!

I have no particular interest in offering guilty people a defense for what they've done. If you've intentionally murdered someone, please go to jail and get the hell out of our society.

I'd suspect that they'd remove one of the disks from the project's RAID array, write zeroes over the partition map, and claim that it's because they need the space for porn. Perfectly reasonable explanation, I suppose.
...he created one killer file system!
Reiser fsck YOU!

This is a FAT32 partition, it comes from microsoft.
It has a 4GB limit, in the age of 5GB DVDs why would you ship a product with a 4GB limit?
It just doesn't make any sense!
If this is FAT32 partition, the jury must acquit!!

No kidding, although sometimes they pay you for it and give you a desk with a comfy chair.
No you don't.
You just tie them up and throw them in the river, if they float then God has pronounced them guilty and since God knows everything that's good enough. If they sink and drown, oh well they get to be Jesus so all is well.
And just because I have to (yes, I really do)... Yes, IAAL, but I don't represent you, and this is not legal advice. If you are charged with a crime and you rely on this post as legal advice, you are a moron. Actually, if you rely on any post on Slashdot as legal advice for any reason, you are a moron. Also, I do patents, copyrights and trademark, not murder. So assume I don't know what I'm talking about.
