2021 is just around the corner, and it's the first year since Hans Reiser got sent to jail that he can apply for Parole.
Since he went to jail for strangling his wife to death while their two children were in the house, he probably shouldn't get parole.

As part of his plea deal, Reiser had to completely describe the killing and disposing of Nina Sharanova's body. During this confession, he showed remorse in the fact he'd used an "embarassing" judo grip to strangle her. (He was trained in judo).
This wasn't the first bargain he'd tried to strike in the case; refusing to admit he'd done the crime, he instead bargained to even reveal the woods where her body was buried in return for a 3 year sentence, which would have put him out months after the trial. They declined.
I am delighted to hear in the replies that for whatever reason, the first Parole hearing took place in 2020 (a year early? COVID-related, perhaps), and he was denied and gets to try again in 2023. See you then, Hans
