Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body

dlgeek writes "The story of Hans Reiser is well known to all Slashdotters by now. Some still placed doubts about the conviction, stating that he might be innocent. It now seems that all doubt has been quelled, since Alameda County District Attorney Thomas Orloff has revealed that Hans Reiser will disclose the location of Nina's body for a reduced sentence. The deal is not yet finalized, though. 'There's been some overtures,' Orloff said, 'But everything is in its preliminary stage.' The deal would reduce his conviction from first degree to second degree murder. In addition, an anonymous source close to the situation said that 'the only real leverage he has is if he can provide a body. He really doesn't have any options left. Even if he won a retrial somehow, he'd likely be convicted.'"

You should never defend someone who was stupid enough to import himself a mail order bl'ad. This very clearly puts in the right perspective his social skills, social orientation and actual capabilities as a human to fit into human society.

He however is definitely not alone, if he was Anastasia International would not have been targeting slashdot specifically for advertisements with pretty pictures of bl'ad in full war paint.

I laughed. Mod it up.

He's Got a Backup

That doesn't prove he did it. He's just restoring a copy of her body from the journal.

Maybe the real story here is about a bizarre lab failure during experiments to back up his girlfriend, every geek's dream.

Frankly, that bothers me a whole hell of a lot less than the fact that he was convicted of murder without any significant evidence his wife was dead as opposed to simply missing.

Other her blood in the house and his car, you mean.
