Summary
A July 13 letter shows Sunny Hostin asked prosecutors to drop son Gabriel Hostin’s New York City trespassing case, arguing the June 16 incident was an honest mistake rather than criminal conduct.
The 24-year-old Harvard graduate was cited by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority—not arrested—after entering an area he allegedly used for hill training.
Hostin, listed as her son’s attorney on the court docket, wrote that a "No trespassing" sign was not visible and that an officer acknowledged the gate should have been closed.
She said Gabriel Hostin had no criminal history, believed the area was open to the public and poses no community risk; his next court appearance is set for July 31.
