Sunny Hostin made herself the story. She said she was the lone holdout juror in a 35 year-old Cannibal Killer murder trial.
If the NY Post receipts from 1991 are right, the self-anointed heroine of Tuesdayโs show, Hostin was not the holdout.
She was a Cannibal Killer juror who craved attention and found it in a talk show camera 35 years later.
Hereโs how Sunny Hostin got her tail caught in the lyinโ cage.
On The View she told the audience that like the Lindsay Clancy holdout, she also was a lone holdout in a 35-year-old murder trial.
She was the juror who saved Daniel Rakowitz โ the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park from a guilty verdict.
Joy Behar cut in with:
โThe guy who ate the victims?โ
Hostin said yes.
Alyssa Farah Griffin was the one who then gasped and asked, โAnd you got this guy off?!โ
Sunny added, I โpicked them off one by oneโโ11 guilty votes, one by one. She said a juror threw a chair at her. She tied every piece of the drama to the Lindsay Clancy trial.
The receipt trail tells it differently.
Jurors speaking to the Post, Newsday, the Daily News, and the AP identified the holdout juror as โan unemployed man who liked the $15 a day and the free meals.โ
A law enforcement source from the case told the Post this week that the Cannibal holdout was a man.
Asunciรณn Cummings โ Hostinโs name then โ was on that jury. Yes, The Times quoted her. Yes, she said they had to compromise. She also said he butchered the body and tried to commit the perfect crime.
Thatโs where a heroine from The View morphed into feminine Pinocchio.
Being quoted about a holdout is not the same as being the holdout.
Monika Beerle is still dead.
Rakowitz is still in a mental hospital, not a prison.
An ABC television panel just used both of them to narrate a Lindsay Clancy clicks for cash monologue.
If the receipts are right, Sunny owes the audience a retraction.
It was the Post investigative reporters who exposed a desperate talk show host who conjured a fantastical web for the camera 35 years later.

Sunny Hostin reveals on The View that she was the holdout juror in the 1991 trial of Daniel Rakowitzโ the Butcher of Tompkins Square Park.
He killed Monika Beerle.
Dismembered her remains.
Then served them to vagrants
in the park.๐๐
Hostin says she saw โpsychosisโ in
Daniel Rakowitz.
โHe did not mean to kill her, and once he killed her he panickedโฆ
โฆchopped up her body parts, boiled her body parts, he tried to commit the perfect crime and then...
Yes. That's how much I believe in the insanity defense.โ
She added that โa juror was so upset they threw a chair at her.โ
Sunny flipped 11 jurors to not guilty.
In her own proud words:
โI picked them offโโone by one until all twelve voted not guilty by reason of insanity.โ
NO Way. But Yes, itโs true.
Murder count Unanimous Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity.
Nine days of deliberations. Like the Clancy trial, jury had to return a hung jury verdict multiple times.
Jurors later told the New York Times that one holdout blocked a guilty verdict. That juror was Asuncion Cummings.
Sunny Hostinโs birth name.
She brought it up while defending Lindsay Clancy and Reddington and criticizing the lone holdout juror.
The pro-life black man.
Same show. Same argument to break down holdout jurors who โ wonโt see reasonโ
Same faith in the insanity defense.
Except Monika Beerle never got a second chance to tell her story.
Neither did those three children.
Cora. Dawson. Callan.
The forgotten donโt get a panel.
Why is that? They get a verdict written by activist jurors, pressured by a court of public opinion. โ๏ธ๐
