Rodrigo PISSARRA, psy- I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see, and I have seen boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped of, but there isn't nothing like a sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back to Oregon with his tail in between his legs, but I say: You are executing his soul! And why? (...) And that, my friend, is called integrity, that's called courage. Now, that's the stuff leader's should be made of. [Dramatic pause] Now, I have come to the crossroads in my life, I always knew what the right path was. Without exception I knew, but I never took it, you know why? It was too damn hard. now, here's Charlie he's come to the crossroads. He has chosen a path. It's the right path. It's a path made of principles, that leads to character. Let him continue on his journey. You hold this boy's future in your hands, committee. It's a valuable future, believe me! Don't destroy it, protect it! Embrace it. It's going to make you proud one day, I promise you.
