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.'"

ReiserFS is created by mad men...mad men I tell yah. Next thing you know every computer with ReiserFS is going to becomes alive and go on a murderous rampage. Watch for the hail of CDs and floppy diskettes (yes linux computer still have those :P).

They are even coming out with a secret weapon...the ZIP DISK, tun tun tuuuun.

Today /. is hitting a new low.

I read about 15 posts here, every one of them a joke about Reiser, ReiserFS, the missing body, or Unix in general.

Is there anyone here who remembers that a woman is missing and presumably murdered? There are two children who have done nothing wrong, but are now effectively parentless, living with their grandmother.

Yeah, I know this is /., and no I'm not new here (check the number). It still galls me that there is NOTHING BUT jokes about this case.
