Sunny Hostin admitted during the latest episode of “The View” that she was the reason a cannibal killer was found not guilty of his crimes.
She was explaining the insanity defense being employed by attorneys for Lindsay Clancy after Clancy strangled and killed her three young children.
“He did not mean to kill her, and once he killed her, he panicked. He chopped up her body, yes, boiled her body parts, tried to commit the perfect crime, and then … he fed her body parts to the unhoused,” Hostin said.
“The insanity defense has been around in Massachusetts for 182 years, so I think it’s well established, and I thought absolutely that she was not criminally responsible by reason of insanity,” the attorney added. “And the reason I felt that, I feel so strongly about this holdout juror is because I was a holdout juror in a case, in the Daniel Rakowitz case. I don’t know if people remember it, the ‘Butcher of Tompkins Square Park,’” she said.
