She admits "once he killed her, he chopped up her body parts, yes, boiled her body parts ... and fed her body parts to the unhoused." pic.twitter.com/sLbElgLuGt
Several jurors questioned afterward said one holdout juror was principally responsible for preventing them from returning a guilty verdict. "We don't think he intended to kill her," said a juror, Asuncion Cummings. "But once he did, he dismembered her body in an effort to commit the perfect crime."Asuncion Cummings is the first name and maiden name of Sunny Hostin.
[The defendant] testified that he did not kill Ms. Beerle, a 26-year old Swiss woman who studied dance at the Martha Graham School while working as a topless dancer. But he did admit that he dismembered her, bleached and boiled the bones "to disinfect them," and hid them. After rumors that a body had been boiled reached local detectives, he was questioned, and led them to the Port Authority Bus Terminal baggage room, where he had left her skull. One witness testified that shortly after the killing, Mr. Rakowitz had served homeless men in Tompkins Square Park soup containing a human finger. A native of Texas, Mr. Rakowitz came to New York in 1985 and walked around the East Village carrying a live chicken and selling marijuana, calling himself the "God of Marijuana."

…is that some royal ‘we’ she’s got going there? I know what the rest of us think…
As her colleague on The Spew might say, it wasn't murdery murder.
She is one of the nastiest lefties on TV. She makes Jim Acosta look like a reasonable person. Their is intense hatred in her eyes.
She's OK with boiling up the body parts and promoting some unrecognized human cannibalism by feeding the bits to unfortunate victims, but how dare you call them 'homeless'.
The sort of lefty idiot that gives all the rest of the lefties a bad name. She probably thought that his boiling a body that he "found" was just environmental clean up. Of course she first had to believe that he simply found a body.
But she's just a run of the mill grade idiot--it qualifies her for a spot on the View.
"Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd..."
"I'm not really that hungry but since you are already dead...."
In his defense, he fed the boiled body parts to the unhoused.
The best part is feeding them to the unhoused. 🤣
The gruesome details of cannibalism in the same sentence as the phony wokiness of calling them "unhoused" is instead of "homeless" is just too perfect.
ai answers : "Awarding a large financial claim in a civil case and finding an obviously guilty person "not guilty by reason of insanity" (NGRI) in a criminal case share a striking paradox : both outcomes completely separate factual, physical guilt from legal accountability and the standard definition of punishment.
While the two legal mechanisms operate in entirely different courtrooms, they are philosophically and structurally similar in several key ways :
1. The Separation of Fact from Blame
2. A Shift in the Burden of Proof
3. "Not Guilty" and "Winning" Do Not Mean Freedom
Summary
Ultimately, both situations occur when the legal system prioritizes a specific systemic outcome over a straightforward "guilty/not guilty" binary. In the criminal case, the system prioritizes psychiatric treatment and public safety over punishment. In the civil case, it prioritizes victim compensation and risk redistribution over establishing criminal intent."
Planned Cuisinehood... very PC.
Jeffrey Dahmer would like a word, posthumously.
The Spew. That show is part of the purposeful social moral decay and dumbing down of a nation.
As with all of these heinous crimes- the victim is forgotten.
ABC is BS NOW
"We don't think he intended to kill her," said a juror, Asuncion Cummings.
Isn't that a distinction with the Clancey case? Is anyone claiming Clancy did not "intend" to kill each of her three children, even if you believe she not have the requisite level of legal intent to be convicted?
Many people choke on the the concept of acquittal teamed with insanity. I can't figure out Sunny's championing of a guy who ate someone (or served her to others) after probably killing her. Guilty and insane is probably a more appropriate verdict option.
