On Wednesday 8th February, Sunny Jacobs and Peter Pringle will be talking about their experiences as death row exonerees in what promises to be a fascinating, moving and insightful event.

Both were exonerated after their convictions were overturned for murders that they did not commit. Sonia 'Sunny' Jacobs was sentenced to death at the age of 28 for the murder of two police officers in Florida. Nearly 17 years after her arrest, Sunny’s conviction was overturned on appeal. Peter Pringle was accused of being one of three men who had murdered two police officers following a bank robbery in Ireland. After his conviction, he had been sentenced to be hanged. Just days before a noose was tied around his neck, Peter learned that Ireland’s president had commuted his sentence to 40 years without parole. Peter then immersed himself into legal books and effectively became a "jailhouse lawyer." Serving as his own counsel, Peter successfully pleaded his case, leading the Court of Criminal Appeal to quash his conviction.
