Don't just take our word for it, though. Check out this trailer and start listening on 12/5! Show Description: On March 16, 2000, two police officers were shot in one of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods. One officer died and the other claimed the shooter was Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, the leader of a local mosque. Once known as H. Rap Brown, a charismatic leader of the Black Power Movement, and an honorary officer in the Black Panther Party, Al-Amin was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. But was Al-Amin truly guilty? Or was it payback for decades of work against the establishment? Listen to Radical on the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last year, I read a letter that I don't think was ever meant to go public. It said that a man convicted of shooting sheriff's deputies and killing one of them was innocent. He's a legendary man. A man who over the last century in America has been called a prophet, a Messiah, a terrorist, and a villain. In the 60s, he was a black power activist named H. Rap Brown. We did not make the laws in this country. We are neither morally nor legally confined to those laws.

Those laws that keep them up keep us down. H. Rap Brown had the attention of the most powerful people in America. Oh, at least the departments, the United States government, and their agents, they hated wrap-browned all the way to death. But unlike some other black leaders at the time, he managed to survive. And he converted to Islam, changed his name

to Jamil Al-Alamin, and moved to my hometown, Atlanta, Georgia. On the 9th of March 16th, 2000, two deputies showed up outside his neighborhood mosque, and there was a shootout. It was like almost like an overkill like it was a war zone now for it. Kill one deputy and severely injured another. Federal agents chase down their only serious suspect, Jamil Al-Amin, and he was convicted. But the evidence was shaky, and the whole truth never came out during the trial.

You say that this God is the God who fired this book is very, very difficult. My name is Mosey Secret. I'm an investigative journalist. And when I started looking into the case, I discovered something even more sinister than the shooting of two deputies. The FBI, A-Trap Brown, Jameel Alameen, local drug dealers, and even an alleged serial killer.

They were all caught up in it. Tell me he got the kill. He's gonna star some beef and he ain't gonna be. He's gonna make up a reason to kill him up in it. Tell me he got the kill. He gonna star some beef and they ain't gonna be. He gonna make up a real kill mother for. And I learned that for years, someone else, not Jamil Alameen, has been confessing to shooting the two deputies that night outside the mosque. I've gotten away with murder for real.

They convicted the wrong guy. It's been the wrong guy to prison for a wrong guy to prison, to life. It's got something that another guy did. From campsite media, TinderfootTV, and I Heart Podcasts.
