About this Article

Thirteen years after she was imprisoned for the murder of a 2-year-old Bartlett boy, Pamela Jacobazzi is still quick to declare she's innocent. "I would never hurt a child; I love children," she told the Daily Herald emphatically in a recent interview at downstate Lincoln Correctional Center. Jacobazzi, 57, is eligible for parole in just three years — but she hopes to clear her name before then.
