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.

In addition, there are moral issues, of course. The very concept of state-sponsored murder makes me sick to my stomach. How people can be so utterly barbaric and uncivilised is beyond me.
Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon. And when you do, could you please explain the fundamental difference between "state-sponsored murder" and "state-sponsored imprisonment" in the framework of everyone being equal and no person having the right to decide over another person's freedom.
