Trixie is on trial for enslaving Ponyville and mutilating several ponies with her magic during "Magic Duel." The Equestrian media wants to turn this into Equestria's trial of the century. Trixie, being Trixie, naturally soaks up the media attention. She gives dozens of interviews, basking in the glory of the cameras.

However, she becomes concerned that she may not get a fair trial, and even if she did, she worries that she's already been convicted in the court of public opinion... which to a performer like her, is the most important court of all.
