Particularly, when viewed in light of other prosecutorial screw ups. However, I think anytime you can bring closure to the victim's family by finding a missing loved one alive or, sadly, dead reducing a convicted murderers sentence is warranted. mdmadph:

Lying to the courts or not, Hans was in prison (probably not having a very nice time at all...), and they approach him with a deal: "Tell us where the body is so we can put a feather in our caps, and we'll help you get out of Big D's cell block -- hell, we'll even give you a reduced sentence." The morality of him having lied to the court doesn't even come up. Well, because it looks better for the prosecutors to have this case wrapped up.

Any site I visit that uses it takes 20+ seconds to resolve w.sharethis.com. Meanwhile the page isn't visible until the dns lookup times out (which it usually does) and then no ShareThis button appears anyway. So when are you guys going to ditch ShareThis?

I don't understand how, having basically lied to the courts, he can get a reduced sentence. But I don't understand the US legal system anyway. I’ve been following the trial on one of the Wired blogs.
