Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067 Resonance_1 Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067 Resonance_1 “Shall we stand idly by as our children, our siblings, and even our friends are ensnared and tempted? Shall we stand idly by as the crime rate in our city climbs higher every day?!”

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to say ‘no’ to gambling! It’s time to deliver a heavy blow to the filthy and sinful gambling industry! Oscar Smith didn’t die by suicide; he was killed by the poison of the casino! He and his family were destroyed in this tragedy! Someone must pay the price!”

The prosecutor spoke with fervor and conviction.

Excitement showed on the faces of the crowd.

This was the worst-case scenario, when a lawyer rouses the emotions of the court, victory is usually not far behind.

Purple Summers continued to write silently on her paper: Step three, evoke universal empathy.

Ironically, the real giants of the legal profession are not always from renowned firms but often those who have long associated with criminals.

Because such experiences make each of their trials exceptionally hard, every courtroom confrontation is intense, a matter of life and death. Adversity is the best teacher.

Purple Summers slowly stood up.

Where should she begin…

“Gambling leads to crime, gambling leads to corruption, gambling causes countless families to fall apart…” Purple Summers began slowly, “I also detest gambling, but there is one thing I want everyone to pay attention to–
the casinos under the Summers Group in Pearlpoint are legal and regulated. That is to say, the operation of casinos is permitted and supported by the local government. If the defense lawyer believes that the casino took Oscar Smith’s life, then shouldn’t the government that allows the existence of casinos bear some responsibility as well?”

Purple Summers’ gaze swept over the faces of the jury members, one by one.

“Aren’t you indignant that the local government condones the existence of casinos simply because this industry is extremely profitable, ignoring the harm of gambling and disregarding public safety and welfare?”

Purple Summers paused briefly, then continued, “Yes, it’s because of the immense profits. Is everyone familiar with the Sky City Casino in New Zealand? According to data published by the Department of Internal Affairs in New Zealand, nearly eighty percent of the income from the gambling industry is returned to New Zealand residents in the form of prizes and charity donations. In addition to the taxes paid, the casino donates more than three million New Zealand dollars to charitable organizations each year.

The casinos under the Summers Corporation have always remitted 40% of their gross income as tax to the government, generating over ten billion in fiscal revenue for the government each year. Furthermore, this year the Summers Group established a charitable foundation. After remitting the 40% gross income, it also allocates half of the profits to charity.

We provide homes for the homeless, education for out-of-school children, and medical care for the weak and elderly. And the tremendous taxes we pay are used to develop the city, to erect skyscrapers, to maintain bridges and roads, to replenish relief funds, and to improve various municipal constructions…”

Looking at the unfamiliar faces in front of her, Purple Summers continued in a steady and forceful tone, “Ladies and gentlemen, having money is not a sin. I do not deny the societal harm caused by gambling, but we also cannot ignore the extensive job opportunities the casino provides for Pearlpoint City, the relief it brings to unemployment, and the stimulus it provides to the tourism industry.

How many industries does this seemingly sinful casino support? Waiters, bartenders, performers, magicians, retail, catering, hotels, pawnbrokers, and loan services… This is an entire tourism and service industry system! The value this creates for the city far exceeds that of the casino itself! Are we indifferent when it showcases its benefits, yet scramble to attack when its faults are exposed? Is this fair?”

Having said this, Purple Summers took a moment to adjust her breathing and turned to look at Emily Lewis and her daughter.

“I deeply sympathize with Ms. Lewis’s plight, but I cannot agree with the accusations of the opposing lawyer. Oscar Smith was an adult capable of autonomous action; his death was not persecution by the casino.”
