New York Post: 'Sunny Hostin’s claim that she was lone holdout in NYC cannibalism trial shot down by sources, reports from the time' "Several jurors questioned afterwards said one holdout juror was principally responsible for preventing them from returning a guilty verdict,” Hostin read aloud from a New York Times article from the 1991 trial on Tuesday. “That was me,” she asserted. Sunny Hostin told her colleagues that she was the holdout juror in the trial of Daniel Rakowitz. But 35 years ago, jurors told The Post, Newsday, the Daily News and the Associated Press that the actual holdout was an unemployed man who wanted to keep the trial going so he could continue getting paid by the court for his civic duty."
