Joel Steinberg and Hedda Nussbaum were a couple who gained notoriety in the late 1980s for their involvement in the death of their illegally adopted daughter, Lisa Steinberg. Steinberg, a high-profile defense lawyer, and Nussbaum, a former editor at Random House, had been together for over a decade and were known for their tumultuous relationship.
On November 1, 1987, Steinberg returned home to find Lisa unconscious on the living room floor. Despite being severely injured, Steinberg waited several hours before calling for medical help, and Lisa died a few days later from head injuries. An investigation revealed that Lisa had been severely abused for years, and both Steinberg and Nussbaum were charged with murder and child abuse.
During the trial, Nussbaum testified against Steinberg and revealed that she had also been a victim of Steinberg's abuse. She described years of physical and emotional abuse, including being beaten, burned, and locked in a closet. Nussbaum's testimony was crucial in securing Steinberg's conviction for manslaughter, and he was sentenced to 8-25 years in prison.
The case garnered significant media attention and sparked discussions about domestic violence and child abuse. It also brought to light the issue of illegal adoptions, as Steinberg and Nussbaum had never formally adopted Lisa and did not have legal custody of her.
The Steinberg case serves as a tragic reminder of the devastating consequences of domestic violence and child abuse. It is a reminder that we must be vigilant in identifying and addressing these issues, and that we must do everything in our power to protect vulnerable individuals from harm.
Hedda Nussbaum/Joel Steinberg
They quickly decided she was the victim of extensive abuse, and both Steinberg and Nussbaum were arrested on attempted murder charges. Steinberg Joel Barnet Steinberg was born May 25, 1941. But there were also good things to be said about Steinberg. Her upper back was covered with both old and new bruises, red, black, and blue in color. She insisted she was a good mother! Indeed, as the Appellate Division noted, while a simple negative response would have informed the jury that it could not automatically infer intent to cause the injuries merely because the injuries occurred, such a response might have obscured the jury's right to make a factual finding of intent based on the natural and probable consequences of defendant's acts and the surrounding circumstances.
IMO, it's the repeated break-ups and make-ups that are a set-up for a bad climax. How can a mother know and not know? No wonder she and Steinberg hooked up. Certainly there are situations where the need for prompt medical attention would be obvious to anyone--a child bleeding profusely, for example, or a six-year-old girl laying unconscious after a blunt head trauma. I touched the well-worn pages and remembered begging my babysitter to read it to me. Nussbaum laid the girl on the floor. Trial By TV 8. Their counsel no doubt helps them get jobs in that area.
Defendant's remaining contentions, to the extent they are preserved for our review, are without merit. If you review the case on the facts, and not how it was presented, it looks a little different. Now disbarred, he worked in prison as a paralegal. If you ever cross paths with a true psychopath you will understand why people don't want them released from prison. Lisa was naked, bruised and not breathing.
Tempers flared as they struggled to reach a verdict. She was ruthlessly acting to save herself from the first. When she finally did call 911, her daughter was rushed to the hospital; she was pronounced dead three days later. Even the defense expert agreed that the child's death was caused by brain trauma as a result of abuse. Diminished capacity isn't no capacity.
In previous appearances, Nussbaum had said Steinberg admitted striking Lisa and smoking cocaine while the girl lay dying. Detroit, MI: Visible Ink press. But there could be no doubt that her attorney, Barry Scheck, had scored for his client and scored big time. She said that she had not slept at all the night before. On Thursday, November 6, Lisa was removed from life support at 8:40 a.
Although many states, and the federal courts, permit a conviction to rest solely on the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice see, People v Moses, People v Moses, 63 NY2d at 306, supra; People v Hudson, People v Hudson, 51 NY2d at 238, supra; People v Cunningham, People v Bretti, People v Moses, 63 NY2d at 306, supra; People v Cunningham, 48 NY2d at 946, supra. When an abuser senses that someone has actually moved on, they go nuts not an excuse, though. Nussbaum's revelation startled listeners as she testified for a fourth day in the trial of her lover, Joel Steinberg. Nussbaum called 911 on Nov. Joel should never have been released. The woman was crazy before Steinberg, during Steinberg, and after Steinberg. This was a calculated move on his part.

By the time the Steinberg trial began in 1988, I was just starting my freshman year of high school. The book, whose cover features Snoopy sitting atop his signature red house, was instantly recognizable; it had also been a favorite of mine. For another, she was an editor. But they can pay their bills. She portrayed herself as the most battered woman of all time. My mother had a subscription to People, after all, and I looked at every picture and read every word.
THE PEOPLE &C., RESPONDENT, v. JOEL STEINBERG, A/K/A JOEL BARNET STEINBERG, APPELLANT.
By the way, it's a blessing that other child they bought, the baby boy, was taken away from them. And she was too high to think about how they were going to explain away a dead child. It varied a lot. The man, or is he pimping her out to johns to pay for their drug habit? No doubt he would have ended up dead, too. One night, the police come. He should have been charged with first degree murder and got life, at best. Her face when she was arrested was totally battered and kind of caved in.
I understood that Hedda was not like other people who were usually associated with such crimes. She had bruising and trauma marks on her buttocks. She had two black eyes. I remember at the time thinking she was as guilty as he was and that maybe she was the one who knocked the shit out of Lisa. It was dark inside. But his representation lasted only one day.
