Unicorn On Ice

My old dinner companion, Ira Einhorn, loses his appeal.

A Superior Court panel rejects all 10 arguments made by the hippie guru's counsel. The 66-year-old Unicorn must stay in prison, where he's serving a life sentence for the murder of ex-girlfriend Holly Maddux.

Update to follow soon on his blog, where he's railed, through a friend, at his legal representation. It may not be a joy to represent Einhorn. He wrote last month about his lawyers:

I have asked them to leave a number of times and have filed nine other motions, to protect myself and the record, due to their ineffectiveness. There has been no adequate communication for over two years, though this is the biggest case that either of them will ever have.
