I remember some things, but I am uncomfortable putting them in this report because they are hard to remember, and I do not want my uncertainty to be used to question my credibility.” The statement concluded, "I want to pursue justice not only for myself but also for others I believe have experienced something similar to what happened to me."At the time of writing.
