Dimitri Danikovski is am older brony and a member of a criminal organization. A situation arises that causes Dimitri to meet a fellow brony in extenuating circumstances. Unfortunately, crime is thicker than friendship and Dimitri makes a decision he quickly regrets.

Downtrodden, Dimitri returns to his apartment and discovers a strange visitor. He is put on trial by Discord and has to defend himself against all his previous crimes. Celestia agrees to be the prosecution and Luna, in turn, is Dimitri's defense. What will happen to this most unusual of bronys?

Surprisingly, the best part of this story, IMO, doesn't take place in the courtroom. I think you'll see what I mean when you get to it. This one got away from me. I originally wanted this to be a one on one Q & A with the Mane Six, and Discord comparing Dimitri to each one of them, offering evidence that Dimitri was loyal and honest (in a twisted way to his criminal family) and that he was generous, kind, and even shared laughter (helping out his friends and donating to and volunteering with orphanages and the like.) But I opted for this, and I'm happy with how it turned out. I hope you enjoyed reading it because it was fun to write.

I also intend to make a short (4K words or less) entitled Twelve Angry Ponies that covers what happens when the jury leaves for deliberations. Check back later!
