Comments on: Hans Reiser guilty of first-degree murder

Following a long, drama-filled trial, a jury in Oakland, Calif., finds the Linux programmer guilty of murdering his estranged wife, whose body has never been found.

Some Stanford students are so damned bright...not!!

First Wang at Yahoo, now this fool. Of all the idiotic moves--trying to defend ones self in court. So how does one go about questioning themself in court? I'm sure it looks like Woody Allen's classic scene in his Bananas movie, lol.

the appearance of evil

Whether or not he killed his wife, he made some dumb choices.

I'm sure the most frustrating thing about the jail he's going to is that it's not optimized for many small prisoners.. and he has no commit access-- in fact, very little access to anything after, you know, he's committed.

And as for parole, well you just can't give a guy like that mainline inclusion or he'll rewrite way too many rules...

In the end, you realize if it holds what it's meant to hold as long as it's meant to hold it, well, maybe it's just good enough. ...I just wish our incarceration system used less monetary resources in between making transfers.

...Wait, what am I trying to say?

another successful conclusion

wife dead. husband in prison.
another divorce successs story.

I envy countries where people can just get divorced. Right now, its so lopsided that one side loves the courtroom and the other side doesn't bother to hope for any legal solution.

Equal time, equal support...for and from BOTH parents NOW....until that day comes...take joy in these results, its all you have.

Oddball murderer?

And I was all ready to defend the guy with the lack of forensic evidence. Who doesn't "hose down the exterior of their car". "Removing the passenger seat in order to have room to sleep in his car" is definitely odd, but certainly isn't proof of murder unless DNA, trace, or blood is found on that removed passenger seat. The idiot had to take the stand and bury himself. Why couldn't this have happened to a "Windows Geek" instead of a "Linux Geek"?

I doubt it

Having spent time around prospective Russian/Baltic brides, can say with coinfidence that American juries are CLUELESS to the deception techniques employed to get citizenship and access to a cash stream. Another successful con job.

What are you saying?

Can't tell if your implying that Nina's murder was faked or if you mean Hans' had the right to kill her for taking half his fortune and children?

If it is the former, then dead people can't collect alamony, and if it's the latter then you've got some morality issues here.

I personnally think it was a crime of passion and that if he called the paramedics after he smacked her into the pillar he would have gotten a much lighter sentence with parole. Now the idiot is facing life without parole.
