In a recent radio interview, Sunny Jacobs who was wrongly convicted of taking part in the 1976 killings of two police officers has accused Michael Satz, who was the prosecutor at her trial as deliberately covering up evidence which would have exonerated her. Jacobs stated that though it was clear she and her partner Jesse Tafero were innocent of the charges, in order to facilitate his career advancement Satz bullied and threatened a female prisoner into falsifying evidence against Sunny as well as deliberately suppressing other evidence that would have showed that Tafero and Jacobs were innocent. Sunny served seventeen years for the crime before being found not-guilty. Tafero was not so fortunate and was executed in 1990, by electric chair.
