Hans Reiser's Trial Starts Tomorrow...


Henry K. Lee writes in The San Francisco Chronicle:

As the murder trial of computer programmer Hans Reiser begins with opening statements today in an Oakland courtroom, a key question remains: Presuming his estranged wife is dead, where is her body?

Alameda County prosecutors don't know, but they are moving forward nevertheless in the highly anticipated trial with the belief that circumstantial evidence will lead to a conviction.

After a trial that could last until January, a seven-man, five-woman jury will decide the fate of Reiser, 43, who has pleaded not guilty to murdering Nina Reiser during a divorce that was never finalized.

The 31-year-old mother of two disappeared in September 2006 after buying groceries and dropping off her children at the house in the Oakland hills where her estranged husband lived with his mother. Friends have said she was devoted to her children and would never abandon them.
