Exhibition Given the repercussion on social media, Cassimiro stated that he sees the exhibition as a responsibility. "I'm only 28 years old, I know my faults as a young man, with a lot to learn about life. I try every day to correct them, but when I accept a criminal case, I dedicate myself body and soul. The error is unacceptable," he said. VIDEOS: g1 in 1 minute Santos
