Earlier this week, Sunny Hostin spent Tuesday on The View treating a 35-year-old cannibal trial like a personal origin story, casting herself as the lone holdout who dragged 11 angry jurors to a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict for Daniel Rakowitz, the so-called Butcher of Tompkins Square Park. This sounds like a horrible movie plot from the get-go, yeah?

Anywho ...That version lasted about as long as it took someone to pull the 1991 clips. The Daily News from the day after the verdict names Asunción Cummings — Hostin, before the TV glow-up — as the juror annoyed with the holdout, arguing the defendant knew what he was doing.
