NEW YORK (AP) - Convicted child killer Joel Steinberg has a job as a television producer waiting when he's released from prison next summer after serving 17 years, his attorney said Monday.
Steinberg will work for "New York Confidential," an interview show on a local cable station, attorney Darnay Hoffman said.
"He has contacts in prison," Hoffman said, explaining that Steinberg, a disbarred lawyer, knows some of the state's most notorious criminals. "He knows how to go into a prison and get a story."
Steinberg, 62, is completing an 8-to-25-year prison term for manslaughter in the death of his illegally adopted daughter, Lisa, and is expected to be released next June.

In 1987, Steinberg fatally struck 6-year-old Lisa, the girl he had taken as a days-old infant from an unwed teenager. He was supposed to arrange an adoption, but instead took the baby home to his live-in companion, Hedda Nussbaum.
Steinberg left the unconscious child while he went out. Nussbaum stayed home with the first-grader but did nothing all night. An ambulance was called the next morning. The child died three days later.

omfg -- thats stupid!!!!!
The couple don't deserve this kind of thing. Joel shouldn't deserve that job that is waiting for him when he's released from prison. I am pretty certain a lot of people are going to protest that once he's out of prison.
and does belong on the jerry springer team
