    Default He did it: Hans Reiser leads police to body

    Slashdot | Hans Reiser Leads Police To Nina's Body

    The only thing I can say is that it is better than if she had never been found. Small comfort for the children though. But at least they will be spared the haunting uncertainty.

    Default WARNING: AWFUL PUN

    Guess he journaled the location of the body, eh?


    (I posted this on /. and got modded flamebait :-( )

    I've been moderating in that thread today, but it wasn't me

    /. is amazing sometimes

    There is one guy who is gleeful about the expected results of the clash between Hans' non exsisting social skills with the federal prison life.
    There is another who feels sorry for Hans, and who claims he is going to send him 20$ to make his life behind bars easier. And if we used his filesystem we should do the same. Ungrateful bastards that we are...
    And then there is the guy who is convinced that Hans is innocent, and only disclosed the location of the body to get a lighter sentence because he knew it would make him look guilty at the time of the trial That guy was convinced that the REAL story still had to come out.

    And these are just examples I just read. Some of that stuff is so far out there that I couldn't come up with it if someone paid me for being extreme

    The reality is assuming he is guilty and when he is sentenced assuming the judge will throw the book at him his only hope of getting any reduction in his sentence is to show remorse. So disclosing the location of the body is a step in that direction.

    once you are in for life, your only chance is parole.
    I didn't know it, but of course the penal system assumes guilt. It has to.
    You can get out on parole if you show that you are no longer a threat to society, and that you have moved on.

    Failure to reveal the body is insisting on innocence, which is no longer presumed.
    So you are considered no yet ready to leave this behind, resulting in 'no parole'

    If was really his only option by now.
    Of course, if he wants to be able to get parole, he'd better work on his social skills for the next 15 years, or the parole board will not be impressed.
