Ira Einhorn's brother says "The heck with him"
mothra...@hotmail.com
Ira Einhorn's trial for the murder of their sister, but the only member
of Einhorn's family to attend the trial has been his brother, Stephen,
58, a former stockbroker.
And he won't be back. He's been sitting in the front row, but now says,
"My brother didn't want me there, so I just decided I didn't want to
come. The heck with him."
"My brother did not commit this murder. I'm positive. He's too gentle
and kind of a person. I grew up with him. I know him.
"In all the years, we've never talked about the crime. We talk about
the family--the deaths and the births, and what's going on. We talk
about things that are going on in the world and his opinions, because I
think his opinions are very relevant.
"He's a very persuasive speaker. He's very intelligent.
"She was planted in his apartment. Ira had a lot of enemies. He was
involved in so many things that were against what the government was
thinking.
"He believed in mind control, as I do, too."
About their family:
"It killed my father"--Joseph Einhorn died from a heart attack after the
murder. Their mother has had two strokes and lives with Stephen; she is
not well enough to attend the trial.
"She asks me how the trial is going, and I say, 'Fine.' I try not to
tell her too much, and I don't want to upset her." His mother follows
the case through TV news reports.
Asked if his family is close, Stephen says, "I don't know. It's tough
to say. He's been away for 20 years." He says he knows that if their
situations were reversed, Ira would not be in court for him.
"I would expect him to do the same for me, but I know he wouldn't. He's
not that sort of person."
Judith Sabot, one of the ex-girlfriends who testified last week, said
that Einhorn constantly devalued family ties, calling them "sentimental
shackles." She said he encouraged her, then a 19-year-old college
student, to "break free" of her family. She said that she came to view
Einhorn as domineering and manipulative--she is the person who testified
that he hit her over the head with a bottle and tried to choke her when
she broke up with him. This news story adds the detail that he later
wrote a poem about the attack on her.
Stephen Einhorn says his brother would not have hurt Maddux: "He loved
Holly. He wanted to marry her. She was at our house quite a few times.
I knew Holly very well. She was very pretty and sweet and intelligent."
Of the Maddux siblings' attending the trial every day: "I think all
they want is justice for what happened to Holly. They're entitled to
their justice. I think they're looking in the wrong place."
Stephen speaks daily with Einhorn's wife, Annika Flodin, who tells him
that she just wants her husband back.
The brothers have never discussed Maddux's murder or Ira's experiences
in prison--or the possibility that he will spend the rest of his life
behind bars. "I don't even want to think about it. I want him to go
back to his wife. Let him continue on with his life and do what he
wants to do. I don't want him to be locked up. That's no way to live."

Great -- one that was brainwashed as a kid by his own brother... that,
or the entire family are a pack of psychos and sociopaths.
