Chapter 703: Chapter 703: The Charm of Justice_1
Mr. Johnson flew into a rage, “The opposing lawyer is using inappropriate metaphors to distort the facts! He is deliberately exaggerating, worsening the legitimate and lawful business behavior of my client, Mr. Leon Brown!”
Purple Summers’s eyes were like frost, her gaze icy cold, “Leon Brown acted against my client’s will, using violence, threats, and the like to assault my client, which constitutes the crime of rape!”
“Any sexual act involves more or less violence, violence is just a side dish included in a special service! It is a product that my client legitimately purchased!”
“Product?” Purple Summers sneered, “I think I need to help the defense lawyer recall, ‘Criminal Law’ Article 236, the crime of rape, refers to the act of having sexual intercourse with a woman against her will through violence, coercion, or other means!”
Purple Summers asked, “Defense lawyer, please answer me, is my client Miss Lindsay Carpenter, a woman? Is she a woman?! Women should be protected by the law when they are illegally violated!”
Mr. Johnson countered angrily, “We must consider the specific nature of this case! The particularity of the plaintiff’s profession!”
Purple Summers raised her voice sharply, “Citizens are equal before the law! The particularity that the defense lawyer speaks of is just a convenient excuse concocted by the privileged classes!”
Her stern gaze stared directly at the opposition, and each word seemed to carry an invisible force, sounding powerfully in the courtroom, “The ‘Constitution’ Chapter Two, Article 33, the state respects and protects human rights, every citizen enjoys the rights prescribed by the Constitution and the law—
Every citizen! Regardless of whether she is rich or poor, noble or humble, she is entitled to the protection of the law! Even if she is a promiscuous woman, no one has the right to harm her, insult her, under this so-called particularity!”
“You! You…” Mr. Johnson was so angry he was left breathless and red-faced, unable to speak a word!
The whole courtroom fell silent.
So silent that only the defense lawyer’s rapid breathing could be heard.
Everyone was shocked by the sight of that petite figure, who stood in the courtroom with a straight back and clear, piercing eyes, as if she radiated a brilliant light, making her shadow appear unduly tall.
Just now, they thought Marcel Jefferson had given up.
Just now, they thought the little girl was playing house.
In an instant, the turnaround was like a powerful slap, harshly striking their faces!
“We request the court to arrest the defendant Leon Brown for the crime of rape and claim a total compensation for medical expenses and mental anguish amounting to 525 thousand.”
These were the exact words that Marcel Jefferson had said at the start of the court session, word for word, but now spoken by Purple Summers, they seemed to carry a different weight.
The female judge’s expression became serious, and after looking deeply at Purple Summers for a long time, she then instructed the jury to leave for deliberation.
The result came quickly, the twelve-person jury unanimously found Leon Brown guilty!
The judge announced the verdict, leaving Leon Brown collapsing in his seat as if struck by catastrophe, while Mr. Johnson looked utterly defeated.
He didn’t even know how he had been defeated, feeling that everything happened too suddenly, before he was ready, Purple Summers had already taken control of the whole situation.
Leon Brown was arrested in court, and as the bailiff escorted him out, the reporters outside went mad, snapping away with their cameras.
The female judge walked down to the floor, approached Purple Summers, and extended her right hand.
Purple Summers shook hands with the judge.
“Very well done,” the female judge sized her up with a smile, it was unclear whether she was praising her looks or her skill in litigation.
Purple Summers’s eyes curved into a smile, returning to her innocent and youthful appearance, “Thank you.”
The judge glanced at the jury’s seats and said with a smile, “I have never seen a jury reach a unanimous decision so quickly; they were conquered by your charm.”
Purple Summers shook her head gently, “No, they were conquered by the charm of justice.”
Everyone has justice in their hearts.
And she, was merely a voice, speaking out the words that were in their hearts.
