Quote from the article regarding the evidence against Reiser:

"Nina Reiser was last seen Sept. 3 at the home Hans Reiser
shared with his mother in the Montclair area of Oakland,
California. Her van turned up five days later, abandoned on a
quiet residential street two miles from Reiser's home. Though
no body has been found, Reiser was arrested Oct. 10 after
the Oakland Police Department found small drops of blood in
his house and in his Honda CRX. DNA testing tied the blood to
Nina Reiser."

I'm having trouble thinking of a murder scenario that would
result in a few small drops of blood in two different places.
Smears, spurts, yes, even small drops in one place from the 
spatter from a shooting.  But small drops in two places?  
How could that happen?

Of course one way is planting the drops, e.g., from a hypodermic
syringe, as the evidence indicated was done in the O J Simpson 
case.

Does anyone have info on the size and number of these drops?

On a (probably) unrelated subject, the very entertaining fictional 
film Antitrust portrays a desperate conflict between Open Source 
people and a huge powerful corporation.  

A DVD costs only $4 - $5 new plus $2.59 shipping from various 
Amazon third-party vendors:
