Embracing Forgiveness

Andrew Collins & Jameel McGee

Embracing Forgiveness w/ Andrew Collins & Jameel McGee

Andrew Collins, a former Benton Harbor cop, falsified evidence in a case that sent Jameel McGee to prison for four years for a crime he didn’t commit. Collins’ misconduct later came to light, and he served time in prison for his crimes. Both McGee and Collins say their time in prison was a defining moment in their lives. They later discovered and embraced the power of forgiveness, and are now good friends and co-workers. Hear their powerful story about embracing forgiveness.
