Once Spike was on the dock, Anon started. "Twilight, do you recall acquiring an owl?"
"Why yes. Owloscious is his name."
"Spike, what do you recall feeling about this... Owloscious?"
Spike hung his head and began.
"When it was just me and Twilight, it felt so good because she was always there for me and I was there for her; she'd want something and I gave it to her. Then when Owloscious came along, it felt like he was always there. When she'd want something, he gave it to her. The more that happened, the more jealous I became. Then along came the burnt book. The sole reason I never said anything about it was because Twilight is so OCD that she can't even keep calm when one measly book is misshelved and panics when ONE little part of a simple plan goes wrong. After which, I wanted to make it look like he killed a mouse. I'm sure you know the rest."
Twilight also hung her head. "The excuse of being with Owloscious because of Spike's bedtime was a pretty good excuse. Looking back, though..."
"You know Twilight," said Anon, "we think about neither the consequences of our actions nor the severity of said consequences, until we do the deed. Sometimes, they're too big to fix, mostly to the point of unfixable."
"Has the jury reached a verdict, Mr. Foreman?" asked Diesel.
"We have, your honor." said the foreman. "We find both defendants not guilty."
The convicts were shocked. Anon looked over the 2 on the dock. "Don't get your hopes up. There's still more to come."
Diesel cleared his throat. "I declare a recess for half an hour. During that time, the accused shall be free to speak. After that, the gags go back on. Court adjourned for half an hour." With that, he tooted his horn and reversed into his shed.

This story is EXACTLY how I wanted others to have the characters being CALLED OUT for their actions, Many Thanks.

My sentiments exactly.
This is an interesting read. I think I'll keep track of this.
This is a good read, though the bindings and gags were a bit much for me, but I'm not going to tell you how to write your fic, great job!

The length depends on the situation though it sounds like you think that just because this one is short, the rest will be. Though if I had to guess, length depends on the severity and infamy. The "racism in the third degree" is more like a Black Comedy element.
Okay. My primary problem with this story is lack of a defense attorney. They are all being called out on stuff they did, yet there is also someone who defends their actions as well... no matter how much we agree or disagree with them.
As for trials I want to read:
Boast Busters: Trixie (falsifying information), Snips & Snails(destruction of private and public property), Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack (unfortunately, heckling is not a crime, but it did cause Trixie to provide falsified information) called for their actions.
Over a Barrel: Pinkie Pie for inciting a riot.
Applebuck Season: Applejack charged with endangerment for reckless behavior.
Swarm of the Century: Fluttershy for the destruction of the town because she decided to keep one little parasprite.
A Bird in a Hoof: Fluttershy for kidnapping and Twilight for accomplice after the fact.
Stare Master: Sweetie Belle for larceny (taking Rarity rare fabric and using it without permission).
A Dog and Pony Show: Rarity for noise pollution (civil suit for almost making the diamond dog deaf).

Why are there dislikes for you?

Because people are trolls. They don't like me saying there should be a defense attorney, but I remember that "Trial" episode quite clearly. As there is someone trying to make sure they are punished, I feel there should be someone to try and get them out of it.

Oh don't worry, mein bitter herr. They're not going to be found guilty for EVERY issue. Some of them aren't even harsh enough to be on trial. That's why there's recesses.
