Several jurors squirmed and passed their hands over their faces as others strained forward to better see the 5-minute tape Thursday showing Nussbaum's gangrenous leg, broken ribs and bald patches on her scalp where hair apparently had been yanked out.Nussbaum will be called to testify as a star prosecution witness against Steinberg, who is accused of beating to death the 6-year-old girl they raised, Lisa Steinberg.
