Hans Reiser Case Gets Stranger

A friend of Hans Reiser has admitted to have been responsible for eight unrelated killings.

Sean Sturgeon, a one-time friend of Reiser’s, had already been a focus of the defense team’s efforts to shift suspicion off Reiser in the disappearance of his estranged wife, Nina Reiser. Sturgeon’s alleged confession to a series of unrelated murders will likely complicate the trial, which is set to begin Monday.

Sturgeon denies killing Nina but urges Hans to take a lie-detector test. Even though these new findings are unrelated, it might throw things a little off-course since he was a potential suspect in this case.
