I can possibly understand the last transfer into his wife's name; if he goes down for life and they wish to seize his assets, would the house be considered untouchable to the government because it is solely in his wife's name?
It definitely does not make the house untouchable, maybe harder to seize. In a marriage everything is considered shared regardless. However, he is being put on trial for murder, so there are no assets related to his case to seize.
