> He may have thought no body, no crime? but that doesn't work very well when said crime is filmed start to finish and published on Youtube

Judging by the Hans Reiser case "no body, no crime" doesn't work at all.

>>caskst+(OP)
Maybe he just couldn't handle the smell

>>caskst+(OP)
to this day I believe reiser could have gotten away with it if he hadn't been so clearly socially awkward/autistic. there wasn't much solid evidence at all.

there's something to be said about people instinctively distrusting the socially inept: just look at all these modern "catch a pedophile" outfits, where losers are baited by impossible situations into ruining their life.

>>kurisu+4w
Yeah, but neither DA nor the judge considered lack of body or murder weapon a problem when bringing him in front of the jury.

>>caskst+(OP)
I forgot about him. /. was all up in arms at time. He still in jail?

>>kurisu+4w
Removing the seats from his car, hiding it, and having two books on homicide investigation inside it are not social awkwardness.

>>HeyLau+EX
Yes. Next parole hearing is 2027.

>Removing the seats from his car, hiding it

...several days after the killing (per the testimony of an officer)[0]. reading books about homicide investigation is not illegal, and certainly not suspicious enough to convict beyond a reasonable doubt.

I believe a more charismatic person could have talked his way out of it. At the very least the first impression wouldn't have been "eccentric unsympathetic computer guy, russian mail-order bride, he probably did it".
