Thank you.
There's so much for this whole committee to deeply reflect on.
I know you were here earlier. One comment I'd like to give you a chance to respond to is with regard to equating torture and what you've described with someone getting a life sentence. I hope you know what I'm getting at without my having to say it.
It was mentioned earlier how our sentencing reflects this hierarchy of crimes. I know there will be more that this committee will have to deeply reflect on. However, on the idea of torture as equated to murder with regard to the small pieces, however you want to go into it, I would like to hear you talk a bit more about how this can be named torture but will still have just an aggravated assault definition on it. You've just changed the name. Is there something problematic with that? I think it's a deeper question for the committee.
You heard some of the comments earlier today. I'd like to hear you respond to that.
