House fire victims include former death row inmate
Former death row inmate Sonia 'Sunny' Jacobs was tragically found dead following a house fire in County Galway, Ireland. Ms. Jacobs, who spent 17 years in a US prison for murders she did not commit, passed away alongside Kevin Kelly in the rural County Galway blaze. After her release, she became a staunch advocate against the death penalty, marrying Peter Pringle, who was also wrongfully convicted. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but foul play is not currently suspected in the incident.
