'The View's' Sunny Hostin Reveals She Was Holdout Juror in Daniel Rakowitz Case

Sunny Hostin, co-host of 'The View', shocked her colleagues by revealing she was the holdout juror who prevented a guilty verdict in the 1989 case of Daniel Rakowitz, dubbed 'The Butcher of Tompkins Square Park'. Rakowitz was accused of murdering his roommate, dismembering her body, and feeding parts of her remains to homeless people. Hostin, who was a juror in the case, argued that Rakowitz was not criminally responsible due to insanity, ultimately leading to a unanimous verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity. Rakowitz is currently being treated in a mental institution.
