He simply shook his head at the sight and, with a single half-hearted crack of his gavel against the pedastal, all focus was back on him. "Apologies, everypony. The mare will be dealt with by the police... as for this trial, I believe we have everything we need for a verdict, and I've all I need for a sentence." He turned and looked over at Rainbow, huddled up into a ball in the corner with a hoof over her neck, traumatized. "Erm... Miss Sparkle, if you're still present - apologies for this outburst, and subsequent request - might you help Miss Dash to the witness' stand?"
