The women discussed where they were during the infamous "Bronco chase" and the "Trial of the Century" when Sunny Hostin revealed she feels justice was never served.
"I remember feeling a great sense of injustice happened, it's one of the reasons I became a prosecutor," Hostin, 55, said. "For me the tragedy was the injustice."
Fellow host Alyssa Farrah Griffin chimed in, explaining that her parents followed the chase on TV. She also mentioned that both the high-speed chase and the death of Princess Diana was ingrained in her head.
