ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock's memoir doesn't open with a dramatic moment from the 2020 campaign trail or a thundering sermon from the historic pulpit of Martin Luther King Jr. It begins with the painful story of his brother's arrest in an FBI sting.
It was incomprehensible, Warnock wrote in "A Way Out Of No Way," that the older brother he idolized was charged along with other Savannah-area police officers with aiding and abetting the distribution of cocaine by providing security for drug dealers.
As the Democrat learned more about the charges against Keith Coleman, and takes readers along for the struggle to hire attorneys and emotional moments in the trial, Warnock finds that his disappointment in his brother "was matched by my anger at the criminal justice system."
