This letter is too fucking heavy. I couldn't read it for long. Emotions overcame me. He's having a terrible time in prison. I feel sorry for him and angry at him at the same time, for the insane fucking stupid thing he did.
I followed the trial coverage at the time, on Wired. It was a fucking nail biter and by the end it was clear he'd done it and I was just like, fuck, Hans, why did you do it??
I followed it too. It's a crazy feeling: one of my favorite teachers from University (A PhD in AI at the time backbin 2001) is nowadays in prison for murder .
Apparently he is gay and slept with a student, got drunk and passion got the worst of him. This happened years after I have finished school, but finding about it was shocking.
It shows that invariably everyone has a human side that may make us do stupid things out of passion.
