Samuel Rodriguez\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRacial tensions had long simmered in Benton Harbor, a small city on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, before the day a white narcotics officer--more focused on arrests than justice--set his sights on an innocent black man. But when officer Andrew Collins framed Jameel McGee for possession of crack cocaine, the surprising result was not a race riot but a transformative journey for both men. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFalsely convicted, McGee spent three years in federal prison. Collins also went to prison a few years later for falsifying police reports. While behind bars, the faith of both men deepened. But the story took its most unexpected turn once they were released--when their lives collided again in a moment brimming with mistrust and anger. The two were on a collision course--not to violence--but forgiveness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs current as today's headlines, this explosive true story reveals how these radically conflicted men chose to let go of fear and a thirst for revenge to pursue reconciliation for themselves, their community, and our racially divided nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Waterbrook Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780735290747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Jameel Zookie McGee, Andrew Collins, Mark Tabb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43291140260021,"sku":"9780735290747","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_757186e6-d15a-426b-9b7f-9c6d394d1a6f.jpg?v=1700540580","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/convicted-an-innocent-man-the-cop-who-framed-him-and-an-unlikely-journey-of-forgiveness-and-friendship-9780735290747","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
