Bert,

I have always wondered how a counterculture figure managed to get an defense attorney like Arlen "Single-Bullet" Specter, who had just finished serving as the prosecuting attorney(and, if they had found the body somewhat earlier, would have actually prosecuted him), and why they would have released him knowing full well he was going to skip out--I am not sure, but I believe the bail was quite a bit less than the amount mentioned in the article--

I used to work a couple blocks from the notorious apartment, and was pointing it out to some co-workers one day--one of them said, "Are you sure? I used to live in that building!!" It's right around the corner from the first MOVE house, the one that Frank Rizzo burned, then bulldozed--
