As a child, Sunny Hostin witnessed a violent crime against her uncle. Here,cohost shares how the experience steered her to practice law and use her platform to spark social change.I grew up in the South Bronx in the 1970s. My dad worked in IT, and my mom was a teacher. They were a biracial couple , and all they wanted for me was opportunity. They were so loving and tried to shield me from my surroundings, but I saw plenty of violent and belligerent people in my neighborhood.
My uncle’s recovery was long, but he survived. The man who stabbed him was never charged; the entire case didn’t seem urgent to the police, and I was let down by their response. In the back of my mind, I hoped I would eventually return to writing—yet I was also a great fit for law. I had an affinity for criminal law because I came from that background. I understood it. A lot of lawyers of color understand the inequities of the system and become defense attorneys. I wanted to work within the system because of the police response to my uncle’s stabbing. That drive made me a successful prosecutor in D.C.
