limiting prison terms to an absolute maximum of ten years...
At the risk of repeating myself: Yes, you'd be right to complain if Reiser were being sentenced to death, but he isn't. And it would be sad if Reiser spent 25 or 30 years in prison even though he was innocent... but that might not happen, because at any moment Nina could turn up, dead or alive, and exonerate him.
[EDIT: removed bogus argument I made based on misreading the original article. I promise to get more sleep before my next post. :]
