Sunny Hostin Asks Prosecutor Directly To Drop Son's Trespass Case

The letter says her son, a 2025 Harvard graduate, entered through open gates that hid the property's only warning sign.

  • The officer locked the gate himself mid-encounter, admitting it should have stayed closed.
  • He issued only a violation, not trespass, saying it was meant to deter others.
  • Hostin cites Criminal Procedure Law Article 170 to seek dismissal without a court appearance.

Why it matters: The letter, not the merits, is the privilege here: few defendants can reach a prosecutor this way.
