A producer located the original Feb. 23, 1991 New York Times coverage quoting a juror named Asuncion Cummings (Hostin's maiden name), saying "We don't think he intended to kill her. But once he did, he dismembered her body in an effort to commit the perfect crime." The article notes that jurors questioned afterward identified one holdout as principally responsible for preventing a guilty verdict.
