Sonia Jacobs
In 1976, they were all in the back seat of a green Camaro when Jacobs
was arrested with her boyfriend, an ex-con named Jesse Tafero, and his
prison pal, Walter Rhodes. They were charged with murdering Florida Highway
Patrol Trooper Phillip Black and a visiting Canadian policeman named Donald
Irwin a few minutes earlier at an Interstate 95 rest stop.

Early on the morning of February 20, 1976, a Florida highway patrolman and
his friend, a visiting Canadian constable, approached a car parked at a rest
stop for a routine check. Jesse Tafero, Sonia Jacobs, their two children,
and Walter Rhodes, a prison friend of Tafero's, were asleep in the car.
Allegedly, the patrolman saw a gun on the floor of the car. He woke the
occupants and had Rhodes and then Tafero get out of the car. At some point
after that, both the patrolman and the constable were shot. After fleeing
the scene in the patrolman's car, and then dumping the car, kidnapping a man,
and stealing his car, the three were caught at a roadblock. Rhodes, Tafero,
and Jacobs were all arrested. Rhodes turned state's evidence in exchange for
a plea to a lesser charge. Tafero and Jacobs were tried and convicted of
capital murder.
