Hans Reiser Trial: Day Four

Filed under
Reiser

10:36 a.m.: Testimony begins today, but there's a delay. The attorneys, without jurors present, are haggling over the expected testimony of the Reisers' 8-year-old son.

The boy has taken a seat on the stand, and the jurors have filed in. The social worker is sitting next to the boy.

10:56 a.m.: The Reisers' son told prosecutor Hora this morning that he understands the difference between the truth and a lie. He said he's 8 years old, lives with his maternal grandmother in St. Petersburg, Russia. Hora asked him a number of questions to make clear to jurors that while he's young, he can answer many questions accurately.

Reiser's Son Testifies; Provides Conflicting Testimony Of Mother

Speaking in a monotone voice, the dark-haired boy lurched forward from the witness chair when answering questions from Alameda County prosecutor Paul Hora. The boy, who just flew in from Russia where he is living with his grandparents and younger sister, looked bug-eyed and scared when he was first escorted to the courtroom filled with about four dozen onlookers.

Hora called the boy to recount the September 2006 day his mother, Nina Reiser, vanished after she dropped him and his sister at their father's Oakland house for the weekend.

The boy, who speaks fluent Russian and English, told jurors in a mixed-language voice that he did not remember what happened when his mother said she was leaving the father's house after the drop-off. She had briefly come inside, the boy testified.

That testimony conflicted with what he said during a hearing earlier this year, when a judge concluded there was enough evidence for the father to stand trial on allegations he killed his Russian wife to end a nasty divorce and child custody battle.

During the earlier hearing, the child said he saw his mom leave the house and he and his father and sister went downstairs to play videogames. On the stand Tuesday, he told jurors he could not recall what happened after his mother announced she was leaving.

"Do you remember what happened?" prosecutor Hora asked.

"I don't remember," the boy replied.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
