Just a thank you for all the people helping and giving support on this case.My brother is a good kid, he was on his way to school when he was arrested by Guadalajara police,they beat him until he fainted, he was tortured and wasn't allowed water or food until he confesed to crimes he didn't do.My mother wasn't allowed to see him or talk to him,until 5 days past.

He just had started a job related to his career in graphic design on computer and was very proud of himself.Freddy J. Carrillo is very loved by many friends and family and very intelligent, sweet, strong person.

In the name of my brother I would like to thank again all of people for their prayers and efforts on helping and strenghtening our souls.
