The article chronicles the life of Jacobs, an advocate for wrongfully convicted individuals, who lived a complicated life marked by tragedy and legal battles. After becoming involved with Jesse Tafero, who had a criminal background, Jacobs found herself entangled in a case of mistaken justice after a violent incident led to wrongful convictions for her and Tafero. Their children faced immense challenges in the aftermath, with one placed in foster care and another in juvenile detention. Investigative journalist Ellen McGarrahan sheds light on the flawed legal system and the consequences of wrongful execution, exposing the tragic turn of events for Jacobs' family.
Jacobs was placed in solitary confinement as there was no one to defend her against the wrongful conviction that disrupted her life and family.
McGarrahan has written about the couple's involvement in drugs and their association with an organised crime work known as the 'Dixie mafia'.
