Convicted child killer Joel Steinberg said that nearly two years after being released from prison he now spends his days as a construction worker.
Steinberg told the Daily News that he's living in Harlem and volunteering at a job-training program near his home.
He continues to maintain his innocence in the beating death of his 6-year-old adopted daughter, Lisa Steinberg.
The girl died in November 1987, three days after she was brutally beaten in the apartment Steinberg shared with his former lover, Hedda Nussbaum, who had also been beaten.
Steinberg served two-thirds of the maximum 25-year sentence.
