CBS 48 Hours will run another hour on the Reiser case, including a post-body recovery interview by producer Paul LaRosa. I've seen a couple of short clips of that interview via the San Francisco CBS affiliate. Also, ABC ran a Reiser reprise last night with pre-conviction interviews.
Both interviews were quite different from the Hans-on-trial persona and to my trained eyes were chilling.
My impression? Allowing for the distance created by any video clip and allowing also for any personal bias on my part, I experienced the shock of recognition. I know the type well - rare among the criminal set, but frequent enough to set one's teeth on edge. He (and yes, the type is typically male) presents as rehearsed & controlled - oozing a with faux sincerity, the kind of person who would sincerely weep at being interfered with ... and little else. I wouldn't trust this guy with my cat, dog or pet gerbil.
By all means, form your own impression.

So you think HR's wish to plant a cherry tree at the site he dumped the body as a memorial to Nina was "faux sincerity"? I'm shocked and disillusioned (not)!

If that does not indicate that he is stark raving bonkers, I really don't know what else could.
