[Chuck gives his testimony]

Chuck:
I recorded my brother to build a case against him.

Robert Alley:
And at the time, would you say you were in full possession of your faculties? All due respect, but you do sound somewhat unhinged on the recording.

Chuck:
Yes, I understand, but what you heard was theater, a performance, play-acting. I exaggerated the symptoms of my disease to extract the truth.

Robert Alley:
Can we talk about your disease for a moment? I'd like everybody here to be on the same page.

Chuck:
Of course. It is sometimes referred to as EHS: Electromagnetic hypersensitivity. I describe it as an acute allergy to electromagnetism.

Robert Alley:
It's not a common condition, is it?

Chuck:
I know it sounds strange, I do, but 30 years ago, no one had heard of peanut allergies.

Robert Alley:
But you admit that no one... no doctor has ever diagnosed you?

Chuck:
AIDS was not identified properly until 1981. HIV wasn't known as the cause until '83. These things take time to unravel, even for doctors.

Robert Alley:
Would you say that your illness affects your ability to think clearly?

Chuck:
No. It affects me physically. It causes me great pain; however, I'm perfectly lucid.

Robert Alley:
Thank you. Mr. McGill, I have only one more question for you... do you hate your brother?

Chuck:
Absolutely not. I love my brother. There's nothing malicious in Jimmy. He has a way of doing the worst things for reasons that seem almost noble... but what I know for sure is that the law is too important to be toyed with. It's mankind's greatest achievement. The rule of law, the idea that no matter who you are, your actions have consequences, and the way my brother treats the law... it breaks my heart. That's why I did what I did. Not to hurt him, but to protect something that I hold sacred.
