Living in the same town as Twilight Sparkle isn't always a pleasant experience. In fact, sometimes it kind of sucks.

I'm sorry, but this isn't like you're trying to convict Twilight Sparkle of murder with nothing but some spotty circumstantial evidence and a few unreliable eyewitnesses. No, you've got an entire town full of eyewitnesses, up to and including her Royal Highness, plus all six of the Elements of Harmony, and more importantly, the defendant already confessed to everything. A first year law student would have a decent chance of winning Frazzle and Sharp's lawsuit for them, let alone an actual qualified lawyer. Course, her patron could always just issue Twilight a Royal Pardon, but thats besides the point.

Still a good story.

Huh. Very solid points. I went ahead and fixed it, because I hate plot holes.

Well to be fair, just because Celestia probably CAN pardon her student, doesn't always mean she will, provided she feels Twilight will learn a valuable lesson from the whole affair. Also I suppose her Fancy speaking lawyers would still be useful convincing Frazzle and Sharp to go for an out of court settlement, probably to the tune of some hush money along with the medical expenses. Can't have any scandals sticking to your prize student.

Then again this is the exact same village that let the mare who essentially enslaved them for a couple of weeks walk away without even a slap on the wrist. So maybe Ponyvillian's are just judicially challenged. Or the Equestrian legal system is just that fucked up, considering Celestia was there at the end and didn't have Trixie arrested.

You could expand this and it would be even more interesting if you did. good story.:twilightsmile:

I love how ponies can lead to complicated discussions about law. Princess Celestia does indeed seem to be very found of second chances. Perhaps she simply reads minds to find out who is truly repentant or something. That's the great thing about magic, it can solve just about anything.
