As an innocent condemned to
As an innocent condemned to death, Sunny Jacobs realised she had some serious choices to make. Her decisions led her to understand more about life and freedom than anything she had ever experienced. Locked in solitary confinement for five of her seventeen years on death row, she embraced her life, always choosing to believe in hope. In this remarkable tale, Sunny shares her thoughts on how to achieve ultimate liberation.
Sonia 'Sunny' Jacobs (64) was sentenced to death at the age of 28 for the murder of two police officers in Florida. When she was imprisoned, her two young children were cast into the foster care system. Nearly 17 years after her arrest, Sunny’s conviction was overturned on appeal. Her story, along with those of five other wrongfully convicted death row inmates, became The Exonerated, a play put on by the nonprofit theater, The Culture Project. Sunny is the author of Stolen Time: One Woman’s Inspiring Story as an Innocent Condemned to Death.
