  • In the Blink of an Eye, Movies Based on True Stories, Women's Prison
    Sunday, January 13, 2013 Women's Prison, False Imprisonment Case For five years, Sonia Jacobs lived in the shadow of death. On Aug. 20, 1976, she was given a date with "Old Sparky" - Florida's notorious electric chair - for her role in the slaying of two policemen For five long years she was haunted by recurring images of what would happen if and when her appeals were exhausted and her death warrant was signed . wondering if every set of footsteps coming down the catwalk near her death-row cell was her personal messenger of destiny. "You wonder if it's painful," Jacobs said in an interview in the women's prison where she is now serving a life sentence. "You wonder if you lose consciousness or if you're aware of all this and how long you are aware of it." Jacobs, her common-law husband and a companion were all charged with the first-degree murders of a Florida state highway patrolman and his friend, an off-duty Canadian policeman. Both men died in a hail of bullets during a routine highway patrol check on a car carrying Jacobs, her two companions and her two children. The five fled in the state trooper's car, stopping once to seize a Cadillac and take its owner hostage. Their flight was halted a short time later when the Cadillac plowed into a police roadblock. Jacobs and her husband were sentenced to death for murder and to life in prison on kidnapping charges. Their companion was spared the death penalty and sentenced to life in exchange for his testimony.

  • West Adams Matters
    WAHAWest Adams Heritage Association July 2013 Number 293 West Adams Matters The Annual Report Issue Preservation Year In Review by Jean Frost, Vice-President, Historic Preservation Each year in the summer, WAHA prepares an Annual Report for its members, reviewing the past year’s activities and events, our revenues and expenditures, and, especially, our historic preservation and cultural heritage advocacy activities. This report (beginning on page 6) highlights certain activities but by no means is a complete comprehensive review. WAHA’s key advocacy committee is the Historic Preservation Committee. This committee often addresses planning and zoning matters as well since our local issues are often intertwined with planning and land use rather than isolated issues of preservation. Committee members actively engage in commenting on development applications, stay abreast of land use initiatives, respond to issues as they arise, keep track of historic buildings needing to be moved and possible sites to move them to, and keep up to date on changes to California’s environmental laws as they relate to historic properties. Importantly, the Historic Preservation Committee also spearheads the designation of historic resources, working with WAHA members and, at times, professional outside consultants, preparing nominations. The Committee members are Eric Bronson, Jim Childs, Rory Cunningham, Laura Meyers, Mitzi Mogul, David Raposa, Roland Souza and John Patterson. New WAHA successfully designated the Brown- members are also most welcome. Gorsline Residence, now HCM No. 1021.

It was a Mississippi writer, after all, who observed that ‘the past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.’ This film is a document of hope, progress and idealism but also a reminder that the deep springs of bigotry and violence that fed a long, vicious campaign of domestic terrorism have not dried up.”” – A.O. Scott, The New York Times "A film about fiery passions and murderous deeds that is disturbing in ways that go beyond what might be expected." -Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times “Potent…Riveting!" - Dennis Harvey, Variety FOUR STARS! “ Neshoba reopens the debate: How was this allowed to happen? How do we move forward? Some questions, this compelling movie reminds us, still require answers.” -S. James Snyder, Time Out New York CRITICS’ PICK! “Seriously disturbing…gains raw power thanks to unrepentant racist Edgar Ray Killen’s unlikely cooperation with the film.” –New York Magazine “This is a superb and intelligent film that brought an awaking to me of a problem that has never been addressed correctly.” -Gerald Wright Rotten Tomatoes "Masterful!" - Ernest Hardy, The Village Voice “Provides a fresh perspective on history”- Nora Lee Mandel, Film-Forward FOUR STARS! “Reveals that although many have belatedly come to embrace the notion of universal brotherhood, some still remain inveterate racists willing to go their graves waving the flag of intolerance.” –Kam Williams, Newsblaze “The tools used to tell the tale (newsreels, family photos, crime scene and autopsy photos) are masterfully employed.
