The View's Sunny Hostin is calling the Lindsay Clancy defense team's effort to investigate a holdout juror "despicable" — but critics are pointing out the irony: Hostin herself was once a holdout juror in a murder case.

Clancy is the Massachusetts mother accused of killing her three children in 2023. Her defense is now scrutinizing the lone juror who blocked a not guilty by reason of insanity verdict.

Hostin's past? She hung a jury as the sole holdout in a butcher murder trial, refusing to convict. Now she's condemning the same investigative tactics her own behavior once triggered.

The whiplash has legal observers raising eyebrows.
