옛날에 무슨 다큐멘터리에서 이사건을 본적이 있는데....
미혼부부의 아이(딸)를 입양한 뉴욕의 저명한 변호사가
아이를 상습적으로 구타한 끝에 결국 죽이게 된 사건이었죠.
그런데 이인간이...풀려났답니다....-_-;;;
우리나라도 온갖 이해못할 판결들로 가득한 나라지만 저나라도 꽤 만만 챦군요.,
PINE CITY, N.Y. - Infamous child killer Joel Steinberg was released from prison Wednesday after 15 years behind bars for the 1987 beating death of his 6-year-old adopted daughter.
The former lawyer, now 63, served two-thirds of the maximum 25-year manslaughter sentence. He has continued to deny responsibility for the girl's death.
Steinberg left the upstate prison with $104 in earnings from his inmate account and was picked up in a limousine by defense attorney Darnay Hoffmann.
Lisa Steinberg died in November 1987, three days after a vicious beating in the Greenwich Village apartment where she lived with Steinberg and his former lover, Hedda Nussbaum.
Nussbaum called police after finding the 6-year-old naked, bruised and not breathing. Nussbaum, initially a co-defendant, herself had a split lip, broken ribs, a broken nose and a fractured jaw she said were inflicted by Steinberg.
According to Nussbaum's testimony, Steinberg struck Lisa for staring at him, then ignored her injuries and smoked cocaine.
Nussbaum, now 59, who said she would flee New York rather than face Steinberg again, has quit her job at a domestic violence center, the Journal News reported Wednesday. Her small white house in Carmel was empty Tuesday.
Hoffmann has said he offered Steinberg a free apartment and a $250-a-week job with a local cable television show. Steinberg will have to make regular visits to a parole officer through October 2012. Now disbarred, he worked in prison as a paralegal.
또....우울해지려고 합니다....아이의 친모가 묘비앞에서 울던 장면이 여전히 생생한데요.
