According to Boston Herald opinion columnist Wendy Murphy, the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case is "getting the negative attention he deserves." Surprisingly, Joy Reid defended him, likely because he was the only black juror, not because he followed the jury instructions. Reid said all of it was giving her "so many microaggressions."
On Tuesday, The View's Sunny Hostin bragged that she was once the lone holdout juror — in the case of the Butcher of Thompson Square Park — keeping him from going to prison.

The New York Post reports:
“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin revealed Tuesday that she was the lone holdout juror in the 1991 trial of a notorious New York City cannibal killer — resulting in the “Butcher of Tompkins Square Park” being found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Hostin made the boast, which stunned her colleagues, in a discussion about Lindsay Clancy’s own insanity defense, and the attempts by Clancy’s lawyer to question the holdout juror in that case.
…
The revelation came up during a panel discussion about Clancy attorney Kevin Reddington’s push to investigate the holdout juror in her mistrial who wanted to convict her.
Hostin brought the discussion back to her critique of Reddington’s call for an investigation into the holdout juror’s use of a cellphone during deliberations and his truthfulness in answering a pre-trial questionnaire.

Glad she said "unhoused" else I would find this offensive.

"Clearly, I saw he was psychotic, he was in psychosis, he did not mean to kill her and once he killed her he panicked," Hostin said.
Rep. Nancy Mace was speechless.
Sunny Hostin announced on national television today, with some pride, that she was the lone juror who talked eleven people out of convicting a man who dismembered a woman and fed her to the homeless.

I have nothing to add. Speechless. https://t.co/5yG8go9dlM
“He didn’t mean to do it” which part ?

The killing
The chopping her up
The boiling of her body parts
Or
The feeding her to the “unhoused”
He panicked.
Sunny Hostin didn't care about the murderer or the murdered woman or the innocent homeless people fed human flesh.

Sunny Hostin cares about Sunny Hostin. Sunny used this juror opportunity to make this about Sunny Hostin.
Sunny is a sociopath.
I'm a woman and I'm begging you to repeal the 19th before we lose our country to communism and islamism. Leftist women are the greatest threat to western civilization.

This is how society unravels in real time.

This tells you everything you need to know about Sunny Hostin. It's not just the absence of shame, it's actual pride in siding with wrong over right, with a cannibalistic murderer over justice for his victim. It's willful, intentional pride in being an evil person.

Sonny, like millions of others, makes every moral decision in reverse. In her mind, there is no such thing as personal responsibility. Look at her shitty family.

Is everyone on that show possessed by demons?

I honestly wonder.
Even her co-hosts were shocked that she kept this guy out of prison. Strangling your three children is one thing, but cannibalism?
