Hans Reiser Interview on ABC's 20/20

baegucb_18706 noted that ABCs 20/20 has a lengthy article on the saga of the Hans Reiser murder trial. I'm not sure if this article provided any information that you might not have known if you read the earlier wired interview, but it's still a really strange story.

I see!

Interviewing Hans Reiser about the Hans Resier murder, eh? Clever.
How about interviewing Harry Buttle about that known terrorist Harry Tuttle?

Take the conviction and...

[BadHaggis]

Obviously he should take the conviction, server two years, escape and live a long happy life in middle America after changing his name and ssn. That should give him a good 30 years or so to prove he is a productive citizen.

I think the pic caption is wrong - isn't that Hans on the right side?

Who knows, only Reiser certainly knows for sure. Mysteries just keep adding up in this strange story.

In Soviet Russia!

In Soviet Russia, not really dead woman hunts for you!

I know. Meg Ryan was the real genius.

Finally, the most convenient way to put money in the hands of a Russian programmer is electronically.

Well, it's the best way, but some russians are kinda ass-backwards when it comes to that.

Re:No body

[risk one]

Indeed, people without a body have enough to worry about without being convicted of all sorts of crimes.

Simple discrimination against being unable to manifest on the corporeal plane, that's what it is.

(I have nothing of value to add to this discussion)

Who knows, only Reiser certainly knows for sure.

One would presume that the lawyer has a reasonable idea which one he is as well...

:P

Re:Renaissance man, indeed.

[mingot]

But, hey, you can insult women who want to devote their lives to their children all you like. And I could call you a feminazi supporter. But I won't, because I'd like to think I'm above that.

Is there a name for this sort of statement? You know, the "I'd call you x, but I'm above that sort of thing".

Re:Is that pic caption right?

[mickwd]

Wow, he's a smart one, this Hans Reiser.

A simple switch when his lawyer isn't paying attention, and his lawyer spends the rest of his life in jail....... .....while Hans gets paid all the money he paid him in fees.

That's just cunning.

Re:Renaissance man, indeed.

[kv9]

Kind of tough when you're best friend is a homosexual serial killer who wanted to sleep with you then decided to give it to your Russian wife when you said no. Jesus fucking Christ, Hans, are there no other people in the world to make friends with?

this story is so badass (especially if he killed her, manages not to get convicted then kills his buddy by bashing his head in with an oversized dildo) that Tarantino should consider it for one of his next movies.

Re:suicide is murder

[empaler]

Turing was also gay [nyud.net]. Horrible habit, that.

Maybe Chewbacca is a paedophile?
