My actions were criminal; they were also selfish, cruel, and cowardly. I stole from my parents the right to a full life. I took from my relatives the right to share a life with my parents. I stole from the neighbors the right to a peaceful and safe community. I have no excuse, no justification for what I did, there is nothing that can make it any less wrong.
