Prosecutors allege that Aliya Fakhri, 43, intentionally set the fire after Jacobs rejected her attempts to reconcile a year after their breakup.
Witnesses reported hearing Fakhri shout, "You’re all going to die today," before the blaze. Jacobs' mother revealed he left behind three young children. Fakhri has pleaded not guilty to multiple murder and arson charges, facing a potential life sentence. Nargis Fakhri, reportedly estranged from her sister for two decades, has yet to publicly comment.
