Sparhawk already knew what he was going to say once he decided that the Yeerk would be guilty.

"Imprisonment," he adds his voice to the others.

They had no right to take the life of one who was just following orders, and who was too scared to do anything.

Once Chris knew that the Yeerk would be guilty, there was only one decision left for Chris. The sentencing which was pretty easy in his opinion.

"Imprisonment, easily." His voice betrayed what he was feeling. Nervousness. They had no right to take the life of someone just for following orders.
