wrongfully convicted of the 1994 murder of Brooklyn Rabbi Abraham
Pollack. Today, Jabbar works as a paralegal at the Law Offices of Joel
B. Rudin in Manhattan. Mr. Collins spent much of those 15 years in
prison a computerless prison law library, where he worked tirelessly to
exonerate himself with little outside help or support. He is currently
suing the prosecutors and DA who wrongfully put in him in prison for
$150 million dollars.
