Specter is scum. He was a lawyer for Ira Eichorn in Philly. Eichorn was involved with a woman for 5 years. She broke up with him and moved to NYC. He lured her back to get her stuff and she disappeared. He killed her and kept her in a locker in the closest of his apartment for months. When the cops finally investigated the smell, and arrested him, he claimed it was a CIA plot to frame him.
Einhorn's bail was reduced to $40,000 at the request of his early-on attorney Arlen Specter; Einhorn was released from custody in advance of his trial by paying 10% of the bond's value, or $4,000. This bail was paid, not by Einhorn, but by Barbara Bronfman, a Montreal socialite and a member of the family that owns the Seagram liquor company.
In 1981, just days before his murder trial was to begin, Einhorn skipped bail and fled to Europe.
He lived there until tracked down and with the help of John Walsh of America's Most Wanted, got him back here where he is serving life.( Should have been executed).
