If I recall correctly, Specter was the lawyer defending that ‘60s hippy who killed his girlfriend and stuffed her in a trunk in his apartment which began to leak to the apartment below.

The hippie's name was Ira Einhorn and the victim he dismembered and stuffed in a trunk which he then stored in his closet for something like 18 months was Holly Maddux. And yes, Specter was his attorney until Einhorn skipped bail and fled to France.

Specter said in early 2006 "The Republican Party is now principally moderate, if not liberal!" I've also said that but in disgust. He said it with pride. And he was right. Yet since he declared conservatism dead in the GOP, they've lost the 2006 and 2008 elections decisively. If moderation is the path to success, someone should ask Specter why the GOP is in worse shape since he declared it a center-left party.
