It's looking like there could be a deal in the works in which Hans Reiser, the Linux programmer convicted in April of murdering his estranged wife, would lead authorities to her body in exchange for a reduced sentence. That's according a Wired report confirmed in part Friday by the prosecutor in the case, Alameda County District Attorney Tom Orloff.
"The defense has made overtures" to that effect, Orloff told CNET News.com Friday, declining to comment further because "it's still very preliminary."

So much for thinking he was innocent. He reminds me of an inmate I saw up at the Texas prison system in Huntsville while visiting there once.

He was kind of stupid to pass up the 11 year deal of manslaughter given the defense he put on. I thought he had a good chance for reasonable doubt if they would have focused on the guy his ex-wife had the S&M relationship with and who had given him money to get his business going. Then again, it's good that criminals are stupid or we'd have one heck of time getting them all locked away,
