An Arizona Courtroom True Crime Analysis of Steven Steinberg, Somnambulism, and Victim Blaming

In May 1981, Scottsdale, Arizona businessman Steven Steinberg stabbed his wife, Elana Steinberg, twenty-six times in their home, initially claiming intruders committed the attack. At trial, defense attorney Robert Hirsh presented a novel "somnambulism" (sleepwalking) defense, arguing extreme marital stress brought on by Elana's spending habits caused an involuntary episode.

Attorney Shirley Frondorf presents a critical legal analysis of the trial, demonstrating how the defense team exploited cultural stereotypes and victim-blaming tactics to secure Steinberg's complete acquittal. The narrative examines courtroom manipulation, judicial ethics, and legal precedents surrounding temporary insanity defenses.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Shirley Frondorf delivers a landmark legal true crime study on courtroom strategy and victim-rights advocacy. Essential reading for fans of Vincent Bugliosi, Joe McGinniss, and Leslie Abramson.
