In October 2006, Hans Reiser, creator of the ReiserFS filesystem, was arrested under the suspicion of the murder of his wife, Nina, who had disappeared off the face of the earth after dropping their two children off at Hans' home. The two were divorced, and fighting a legal battle over ownership of the Namesys company and the custody of their children. Even though the body was never found, he has been declared guilty of first degree murder.

I wont speculate in if he's guilty or not, but I find this a bit disturbing:
Rory said he didn't, and that made him feel sad.
"What did you like best about her?" Hora asked.
"Everything," said the boy.
What does this have to do with the case and why is it even allowed in the court? This is obvioulsy just to appeal to the jurors emotions, thereby blurring their judgement, and says nothing about whether he's guilty or not.
I've read about other cases as well where the prosecutor used realtives to the victim to get someone convicted when they otherwise had nothing to do with the case.
