Reasonable doubt does not mean no doubt. Is it reasonable for him to have:- a missing car seat with no answer to where it is, his explanation for removing the seat was to sleep on the car floor- 6 inch blood stain (of nina) in his car- a blood sample on a sleeping bag in the car- the car was hosed down and left to soak with 1 inch of water on the floor, he also claimed to sleep in the water- 2 books about police tactics in investigating murders (bought a few days after his wife went missing) - found with thousands of dollars cash and a passport on him, he took the battery out of his cell phone so police couldn't track him- his wife's cellphone found in her abandon car had the same thing done, no battery in it. - oh and they're going through a nasty divorce and he's the last person to see her alive... her car is found 2 miles away from Reiser's house with rotting groceries and her belongings still in it, the same distance it would have taken her to drive home... doesn't seem like she just ran off to Russia.
"Prosecutors argued the circumstantial evidence against Reiser was strong: the two were involved in a bitter custody dispute, traces of her blood were found in his home and car and witnesses testified she would never have left her children...When police officers located Hans Reiser's vehicle, it was missing one passenger seat, had an inch of standing water in the bottom, and contained two books about police murder investigations, as well as a sleeping bag cover stained with Nina's blood. Reiser himself was found with a fanny pack containing his passport and $9,000 when he was interrogated by police."So he was smart enough to write a Linux file system but not smart enough to get away with murder. His conviction is proof that it is getting harder and harder to evade law enforcement and prosecution thanks to their ever-improving forensics capabilities.
fsck hans would be funnier.And then there is the fact that Sun just released Open Solaris with ZFS! ZOMG! Coincidence? I don't... well, actually yeah, that is just a coincidence.
