A 6-year-old girl, killed by blows delivered by the man who raised her. The man’s girlfriend, herself a victim of his abuse, testifying that the couple smoked cocaine while the child lay unconscious on a bathroom floor. It has been nearly 17 years since young Lisa Steinberg, illegally adopted by Joel Steinberg and his live-in girlfriend, Hedda Nussbaum, died of brain injuries from the beating. Now, Steinberg is about to be released from prison, even though he was denied parole five times – most recently in January. And he has a job lined up on a local cable TV show called New York Confidential.

Sick.
