Hans Reiser Gets Sentence of 15-To-Life
mallumax writes "Hans Reiser was today handed a prison sentence of 15-to-life for murdering his wife. Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty and led police to his wife's body. His jury trial concluded in April with Reiser's first-degree murder conviction. That carries a 25-to-life term, but the authorities, in a backroom deal, later offered him 15-to-life if he produced his wife's body and waived any rights to appeal his conviction."

Why should he be allowed to leave prison ever again? And why of all should he be granted access to computers? This guy is lucky he will be granted access to books and/or some Prep-H when he goes to prison. He murdered his wife for fucks sake, tried to hide it by saying "she went back to Russia". That's what I call a first class scummbag.
"Benefits all of us as well"
see that's what YOU are thinking about... what is YOUR benefit from this. I'll tell you, nothing! This guy killed a human being, his own wife, mother of his children. Why in the world do you think you are entitled to some kind of benefit from that? He murdered a breathing person and ruined at least the lives of his kids, I think this guy should never be let close to a computer again just as punishment. If he loves it that much, let's see how that feels if we take it away.
I don't hate Reiser, I never used ReiserFS, I don't even care that much about this whole case because there are murders every day. What IS pissing me off though are people like you that apparently are only interested in getting a "new version" or something. You answer to a thread called "Try to be objective, everybody" by basically saying "I don't give a fuck about his kids who lost their mother, I don't care about his murdered wife, I don't care about her relatives -All I care about is that this guy keeps making his software". That's pathetic.
