I still wouldn't have given in to this prick. Because that means after 15 years, her family has to start showing up for parole hearings to reiterate, over and over, why this bastard should stay behind bars. The original sentence would have saved them 10 years of trouble. Besides, to be perfectly callous, if I was the wife, I'd have preferred to be left where I was, buried in the bushes, than to be dug up and force my family to spend what, $20K on a funeral for me? I'm cheap that way.

Bluecanary, supposedly he went down from 25-life to 15-life. Both options include "life". I have to think that's what he's getting. It's what he deserves.

Holy shit, in exchange for a lighter sentence? I can't believe the authorities agreed. I mean holy crap, they already knew he killed her. Was having her decomposed body really that important?? Lest you think I'm cruel, if this was my mother, I'd say let the body stay unfound and give this guy the max.

Gee mpantone, why not wish the children a future that includes progeny-free suicide so they don't further any guilt that you find abhorrent. I mean, as long as you're taking it personally you might as well go all the way. It's almost like he killed YOUR wife! Then again, maybe Nina was really a wife to all of us, in a way. The pretty and white ones usually are.

What a poor excuse for a human being. I am glad to see that the jury got this one right. F-ck you, Hans, for killing your wife, committing perjury, wasting the taxpayers' money with your antics, and leaving your children with a legacy of grief, loneliness, and shame. I hope you live a long, unpleasant life as a guest of the state to reflect on your misdeeds.
