Will The Cameras Be Rolling?
In 1987 it was the People vs. the Subway Gunman, Bernie Goetz. Then the Howard Beach racial attack; the Preppy Mans-laughter, and the sick parable of Joel Steinberg and Hedda Nussbaum competing with the Bess Mess across the street at the federal courthouse. Next on the dicey docket came the tax travails of Queen Leona--hotel magnate and friend of the little people. And finally, this spring, was another racial incident that became known as a place--Bensonhurst. For different reasons, each trial mesmerized the tabloids and local news shows. But for exquisite drama, it was the Steinberg murder prosecution that most people remember. Why? Because much of it was televised--and the pitiful seven-day testimony of Nussbaum, the battered companion under Steinberg's spell, was carried live.
