At the time, Specter was a registered Democrat, and he had been friendly with John and Robert F. Kennedy. But a few months after the Warren Commission announced its findings, he switched parties, and ran for District Attorney of Philadelphia as a Republican. He won, and held that job for eight years, then worked as a lawyer until he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1980, where sat for the next three decades.

Specter is peripherally connected to the infamous Unicorn Killer, Ira Einhorn, who bludgeoned his girlfriend to death in 1977, then left her corpse to rot in a trunk in his closet. In 1981, it was Specter's secretary who signed for Einhorn's $40,000 bail. Einhorn promptly fled the country, and disappeared. He was tried in absentia in 1993, found guilty, discovered in France seven years later, and now resides in a Pennsylvania prison.
