Why is a guy who confessed to having killed almost a dozen people not in jail or, at least, being questioned?

  It would be a particularly devious plan to get a friend to confess to a whole bunch of murders - and then get the internet to repeat the story everywhere - in order to cast doubt on your prosecution. I think it'd be effective though, and there's no chance the police will be able to prosecute on the random and unspecified claims of murdering people - you can't simply be convicted on the basis of a vague confession. The jury would do a bit of googling even though they shouldnt and there you have it; reasonable doubt.

  Sturgeon was questioned. None of us know what happened during that questioning. But the judge has ordered both attorneys not to mention his claims during the trial. Sturgeon was not charged with any murders. From this, one can reasonably infer that Sturgeon's claims of having killed eight people were not credible. On the other hand, Nina Reiser's blood was found in Hans Reiser's car and at Hans Reiser's current residence, where she had never lived.
