If Sturgeon was lying, was he charged with falsely reporting a crime and was the jury warned that his testimony might be suspect? If not, it seems reasonable to believe that the State of California was trying to screw Reiser over.

No matter what other story you want to tell based on California's actions, the last sentence of your comment is predicated on the idea that the state betrayed seven other murder cases simply to get at Hans Reiser.

Oops that was poor grammar on my part. I meant the "if not" to refer to the state informing the jury.
