After two and a half days of deliberation, an Oakland jury has voted to convict Linux developer Hans Reiser of murder in the first degree in a case involving the disappearance of his ex-wife Nina Reiser, pictured here. The conviction came in the absence of a corpse — with Reiser arguing that his ex-wife had stolen a large sum of money and disappeared back to Russia. Judge Larry Goodman is now responsible for handing down a sentence. Video of Reiser's reaction to the jury's verdict after the jump.

Poor Nina. Poor kids. Tons of commenters on the Wired blog saying he's innocent, no evidence, etc. It's weird. Hey guys, just because you're socially inept doesn't mean you too are going to get tried for murder, unless your ex-wife who you've been threatening turns up dead and you do all sorts of incredibly suspicious stuff and then provide in testimony incredibly detailed, absurd explanations for everything you did, against your attorneys' wishes. And a six month trial... ludicrous. Three weeks in Texas, max.
See ya in 25 years to life, Hans. No money yields no real appeal. In the meantime, I'll stick with UFS. kthxbye
Free Hans!
@deathbychichi: Just about any blog covering an ongoing trial is like that. I'd blame it on Law and Order + Internet, because I'm pretty sure the dessicated viewers of Matlock would be just as dumb if they knew how to use an interweb.
