Ex-Fugitive Is Convicted in 25-Year-Old Murder October 18, 2002 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17 (AP) - Ira Einhorn, a former counterculture leader who preached peace and love while battering his lovers, was convicted today of first-degree murder for killing a former girlfriend in 1977 and stuffing her body into his closet. Mr. Einhorn, who fled the country and spent nearly 17 years in Europe after being arrested in the death of Holly Maddux, was sentenced to life in prison without parole. After the verdict, Judge William J. Mazzola called Mr. Einhorn, 62, "an intellectual dilettante who preyed on the uninitiated, uninformed, unsuspecting and inexperienced." Mr. Einhorn's lawyer, William T. Cannon, said he planned an appeal. In the 1970's, Mr. Einhorn counted Jerry Rubin and the rock star Peter Gabriel among his acquaintances and later consulted with large companies on New Age trends. He vanished on the eve of his 1981 trial and lived in England, Ireland and Sweden before the authorities caught him in 1997 at a converted windmill in the south of France, where he lived with his Swedish-born wife. After his capture, Mr. Einhorn thumbed his nose at American authorities by appearing on television shows to discuss his plight and sipping wine while posing naked for photographers in his garden. "For the first time in his spoiled, selfish, egotistical life, he pays the price," the victim's brother, John Maddux, said. Mr. Einhorn insisted he was innocent, saying he last saw Ms. Maddux, 30, as she left to make a phone call. He said he had no idea how her body had turned up in a steamer trunk inside his closet. Prosecutors described Mr. Einhorn as a loutish womanizer and serial abuser who turned violent whenever a woman wanted to leave him. When he testified, they had him read poems and diary entries in which he wrote: "to kill what you love when you can't have it seems so natural" and "violence always marks the end of a relationship." Mr. Einhorn, who had described himself as a "planetary enzyme" and a "catalyst for change," told jurors he had a "Virgo moon." Lynne Abraham, the Philadelphia district attorney, whose office pursued Mr. Einhorn for years, said, "Metaphorically speaking, Ira Einhorn and his Virgo moon are toast." http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/18/national/18EINH.html?ex=1035948485&ei=1&en=09d0df8f3bae7404 HOW TO ADVERTISE --------------------------------- For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit our online media kit at http://www.nytimes.com/adinfo For general information about NYTimes.com, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Copyright 2002 The New York Times Company <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
