Einhorn Murder Case Goes to the Jury
- Share via
From Times Wire Reports
A jury began deliberating the fate of Ira Einhorn, the former hippie guru accused of killing his girlfriend in 1979.
Einhorn’s attorney said during his closing argument that the discovery of the mummified corpse in the apartment the couple once shared is “just a piece of circumstantial evidence” that doesn’t prove his client’s guilt.
Prosecutor Joel Rosen said the evidence of Einhorn’s guilt is overwhelming.
Jurors deliberated about 1 1/2 hours before retiring for the day.
