First of all, stay cool. No one else on the jury is necessarily going to be a great debater, either. You just have to decide whether the evidence before you is convincing. The result will mean nothing to any of you personally, so don't get too wrapped up in your point of view and just look objectively at what you've got. Second, the vast majority of criminal cases won't involve rape or murder, but if it is one, you'll find out at jury selection. Then re-read what's above.

Red Cedar Red leaned well over from his spot in line to watch all the goings on at the front end. As he watched, things suddenly became clearer, as more than one pony, even Celestia herself, had walked away not just with the apples they paid for but also... Red looked back up at the banner. Suddenly he knew what the hay an Apple-Kiss was. He glanced back down the row of ponies at the orange mare behind the stall, who seemed to be in charge of giving out not only the apples, but the other part as well, Princess Celestia notwithstanding. "Oh, wow." he murmured to himself. Quickly looking about, he found some sprigs of mint growing by the side of the road. Quickly snapping up a couple leaves, he chewed them around in his mouth and then swallowed them down before he got too much further in line.

Red Cedar Red waited patiently for his chance to get apples. The line was moving, but, not all that quickly. Seemed there was something going on at the front of the line, though, that was for sure. The yellow pegasus in front of him had moved off to talk to someone further on, someone tall and poised and... Red blinked hard. No, there was no denying it. Not just one, but two Princesses were ahead of him in line. No wonder the line had been huge, if even the Princesses get their apples here.

Red Cedar happily strolled down the path away from the train station and the centre of town. He always felt better in a smaller town, close to the wilderness. It was much prettier and less bustling and hectic than any of the bigger cities. If there was a lot of activity here, something was going on. He shifted the saddlebags full of gear on his back. Sightseeing through Ponyville could wait until he got back, but a week of camping in the White Tail Woods beckoned for now. There was just one thing left that he needed to add to his provisions before he set off hiking into the woods, and that was some fresh apples, and he knew where to get those. As he strolled down the path, watching wild trees give way to apple trees at the sides of the road and coming over a slight rise, his mouth nearly dropped. "Wow!" he said to himself. "They're busy today." He trotted up to the end of the line to wait his turn with the other ponies, looking ahead at the banner over the front gate of the farm. "What in Equestria is an apple-kiss?" he thought to himself.
