Sonia 'Sunny' Jacobs, who spent 17 years on death row for the murder of two police officers she did not commit, recently died in a house fire in Co Galway. The fire also claimed the life of her carer. Jacobs was wrongfully convicted after a plea deal implicated her and her husband, Jesse Tafero, by an acquaintance who actually committed the crime. Following her release and relocation to Ireland in the 1990s, Jacobs lived a quiet life before this tragic event unfolded, raising awareness about wrongful convictions.
