Beasley Firm stops book deal for murderer

It was the largest judgment ever against a single individual, a $907 million verdict against Ira Einhorn for the murder of his girlfriend, Holly Maddux. Perhaps known as the most egregious murder in Philadelphia's history, committed by one of the city's most infamous sociopaths, Jim Beasley Sr. took on the case when he learned from the Maddux family that Einhorn was planning to write a book, which would have handsomely compensated him for telling his story. The Beasley Firm’s victory effectively precludes Einhorn from ever seeing a penny in profit from his horrible crime. The firm handled the case for free.
