Interviewed by the local newspaper, Leonardo stated that he wanted to “make it clear that he had decided to become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, not to find a way out of the darkness of prison, but to fill a deeply felt spiritual need. ”
Kohalikule ajalehele antud intervjuus ütles Leonardo, et ta ei otsustanud saada Jehoova tunnistajaks mitte selleks, et vanglapimedusest välja saada, vaid et rahuldada oma vaimseid vajadusi, mida ta oli teravalt tunnetama hakanud.
