Einhorn murder trial underway
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former hippie guru Ira Einhorn did not kill his girlfriend more than 20 years ago, and he fled the country only because he was "plain scared," his lawyer said Monday. But the prosecutor said evidence against him was strong.
As opening statements in Einhorn's murder trial got under way, prosecutor Joel Rosen said he had a history of violence against women, reading a poem from Einhorn's personal journals, in which the defendant allegedly described how he had beaten and choked another ex-lover. The poem's closing lines were, "In such violence, there may be freedom."
apartment, where her body was found two years later in a steamer trunk. Einhorn jumped bail on the eve of his 1981 trial and spent more than 16 years on the lam before he was nabbed in France.
"He had his own little bizarre philosophy of violence. It was OK to him." Rosen said.
Rosen promised to present overwhelming evidence that Einhorn, 62, killed Holly Maddux in 1977 in their West Philadelphia
Defense attorney William T. Cannon asked jurors not to assume Einhorn was guilty just because he fled.
"Ira Einhorn in January 1981 was plain scared," he said. "He was scared about the prospect of injustice, the kind of injustice that takes place when the prosecutor's office is not playing with a fair deck."
Einhorn will take the stand and will testify that he never physically assaulted Maddux, Cannon said.
Einhorn appeared attentive as the trial opened Monday, alternately taking notes and closely watching jurors.
Maddux's three sisters and her brother were in the gallery. "This to me is the final chapter. It's here," one of the sisters, Buffy
Hall, said last week. "We trusted the system would work and it ultimately did, even against astronomical odds."
The jury was chosen in just a few days last week — quicker than expected. Lawyers on both sides had thought the media frenzy that has surrounded Einhorn would make it hard to find people without an opinion on the case.
Einhorn's lawyers may call celebrities such as Ellen Burstyn and Peter Gabriel as character witnesses. His New Age philosophy had gained him a following among the rich and influential in the 1970s.
Maddux's mummified remains were found two years after she disappeared when neighbors complained about an odor coming from Einhorn's apartment. Einhorn had told police that Maddux went to the store and never returned.
Einhorn was arrested, but released on bail after several
prominent Philadelphiaans vouched for his character. After he disappeared on the eve of trial, he was convicted in absentia in 1993, and he was arrested in 1997 living with his wife in a converted windmill in southern France.
He was returned to the United States in July 2001 only after prosecutors agreed to a French request not to seek the death penalty and the Legislature passed a law allowing the original conviction to be vacated. France does not extradite foreign nationals based on trials in absentia.
Einhorn has said he was framed for Maddux's murder by the CIA because of his knowledge of their secret mind-control weapon experiments.
In his opening statement, Cannon suggested that evidence in the case may have been manipulated in favor of the district attorney's office. Cannon also said that physical evidence indicated that Maddux was not killed in Einhorn's apartment.
Memorials for Sept.11 planned
The Associated Press
At 8:46 a.m. Sept. 11, bells will ring in firehouses and churches across the country. The strains of Mozart's Requiem will be heard in time zones worldwide, sung by symphonies and school choirs.
Splinters of the destroyed buildings will be on display in states such as Nevada, Tennessee, Ohio and Wyoming. Americans will gather at public plazas and government buildings in cities and towns across the country for moments of silence and remembrances.
At the epicenters of the attacks, in New York City, the Pentagon, and a rural Pennsylvania town, government leaders will join victims' families in remembering the first anniversary of the attacks. In Boston, where terrorists boarded the planes that destroyed the World Trade Center, all takeoffs
and landings will halt for a minute at the moment the first tower was struck a year ago.
But the day will also be marked in smaller ways, with candlelight vigils, music and prayer services in thousands of American communities that felt the shockwaves.
In places such as Wilmot, N.H., the loss was intensely personal. One of the town's 1,110 residents, Thelma Cuccinello, 71, died aboard a hijacked flight. Using money raised at farmer's markets and car washes, the town has built a bandstand that will be dedicated Wednesday.
"It will give the town a reason to come together," said Rhonda Gauthier, the town selectman's secretary and chairwoman of the bandstand committee. "We are dedicating it to all the victims and heroes."
Parishioners rally behind accused
The Associated Press
The reforms were meant to restore trust and end a crisis.
But three months after America's Roman Catholic bishops promised to aggressively discipline priests who molest children, resistance to their policy is intensifying and the plan could be coming undone.
Parishioners are rallying behind accused priests. Clergy are suing alleged victims and complaining to the Vatican. Experts in church law are questioning whether the plan violates priests' rights.
"It is unraveling," said the Rev. Richard McBrien, a liberal theologian from the University of Notre Dame.
Leaders of religious orders have accused the bishops of ignoring Catholic teaching on redemption and are allowing some abusers to continue their church work away from children.
"I don't think anybody knows where we're headed," said Philip Lawler, a conservative and editor of Catholic World Report magazine.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops insists its members are on the right track. Officials point to dioceses nationwide that have expanded their lay review boards, hired people to help victims and suspended accused priests.
At least 300 of the nation's 46,000 clergy have either resigned or been taken off duty over abuse claims since the molestation crisis erupted in January with the case of one predator in the Archdiocese of Boston. Under the bishops' policy, guilty priests are to be removed from all church work — from saying Mass to teaching school to balancing the parish's books — and in some cases from the priesthood altogether.
