Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the dark-days-almost-at-an-end dept.

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.'"

    Anyone else consider the Anastasia advert to be in bad taste, given the context of the story? In Soviet Slashdot, Russian bribe adverts consider you to be in bad taste.

    Also, considering Microsoft has so many employees, I have no doubt, that there have been people working there that comitted far worse than a crime of passion. Doesn't mean that the product is bad... Well, okay it is, but not because of some employee going nuts.


    It's only a matter of time before the current CEO is tried for manslaughter. Those flying chairs are dangerous!

  4. Did they check under the tree? by aszaidi · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I heard he hides them bits under some kinda tree which makes it easier to finds them. Hell, he even wrote down all the details in his journal.

    Ain't that simple enough? Find the journal, find the body.
