Character: Jay Gatsby

Novel: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Crime: bootlegger (illegally selling of goods)

Explanation:

Ladies and gentlemen, I assure you there is not one good reason for keeping this young man from returning to his friends and family. His crime is perfectly understandable when looked at from the right perspective. We cannot expect anyone with his humble origins to rise to the top of our societal pyramid by merely working hard and honestly. We are all very much aware, ladies and gentlemen, that the world we live in is not for the meek and humble. It takes a good amount of cunning to become what we are taught to dream of since infancy. He sold a few goods. That's all. Were they illegal? Certainly, but there were buyers. Those goods were needed by someone. Gatsby offered what they wanted but couldn't have. He seized the opportunity and made the most of it, as we would do under the same circumstances. I insistently ask you to let him go, for he is not a representative of peril, but a representative of ambition.
