Philadelphia - A jury yesterday levied $907 million in damages against a former hippie guru, Ira Einhorn, for the 1977 murder of his girlfriend, Helen "Holly" Maddux. The jury had been instructed by the civil trial judge to assume Einhorn guilty of the murder. Einhorn (59), who lives in France with his Swedish-born wife, has been accused of bludgeoning Ms Maddux to death. He jumped bail before his 1981 murder trial and was captured in France in 1997, four years after being convicted of murder in absentia. The Maddux family filed a wrongful death suit in order to forestall any attempt by him to turn his life story into lucrative book, film or TV deals.
