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.

Still, I know a mother who does not live with her kid and she kisses him/her on the cheeks regularly and her kid says he thinks his mum is awesome. It's absolutely irrelevant what they showed in court. (Note I'm not disagreeing with you, but with the court process here.)

I imagine this was used to illustrate how close Nina and her children were, to aid in the argument that she wouldn't leave them willingly.
