Love And Courage

Sonia 'Sunny' Jacobs spent 17 years in prison, including 5 in solitary confinement, for a crime she didn’t commit. 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. www.sunnyandpeter.com  About the interview: I have been friends with Sunny for several years now and was honoured to be interview her at a Cruinnu Na Casca public event in Newman church Dublin on Easter Monday 2017 as part of a series of events on the theme of freedom organised by Kathy Scott and the team at the Trailblazery.
