A girl I barely knew sent me to prison for 20 years for a crime I did not commit and I forgive her

When cops raided James’ home, he did not know that was the beginning of his 20 years in prison . A teenage girl he barely knew had accused him of the worst and he knew his chances of convincing the female judge he had not done it, were rare
But it’s only in prison it dawned on him that everything he was going through was as a result of an innocent prayer he had prayed to be like a famous preacher not knowing that the preacher had once spent years in prison
This is his story

The fact that he believes in God and mentions God in every sentence and still believes and trust in him amazes me so much. Indeed, God is a God of second chance.

[@ChrisN06999]

And yet 20 years of his life went by in a correctional facility because of false accusations. You fail to talk about the false accusations and the accuser yet you talk about a 3rd party who could've stopped all this from happening to innocent people. Anyways, what do I know?
