Hans Reiser's Parole Petition Denied

Pardon Commission refused in satisfying the request for parole of Hans Reiser (Hans Reiser), author of the ReiserFS file system. Repeated application may be filed only in five years, in 2025. Hans' children are now 18 and 20 years old and refuse to have any contact with him.

Let us recall that in 2008 Hans was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife as a result of a quarrel with a subsequent attempt to cover up the crime. Given that he has been in prison since 2006, he was allowed to apply for early release for the first time in 2020. After the isolation of Hans Reiser, the development of the ReiserFS file system was taken over by Eduard Shishkin, who recently began testing the new edition reiser5 with support for logical volumes, as well as continues release updates to the Reiser4 branch, which has existed since 2004.
