The judge nodded "Alright. Is it true that the defendant learned the spell from the book in your library?" The judge asked her.
"I'm afraid I can't confirm that, your honor. I was out on royal duties to Saddle Arabia for a few days. But I have magic recording devices set up throughout the library, I can probably pull something up."
"Please, do that." the judge said to her. "The court will take a 5 minute recess to get everything ready." the judge said. "Does the defense or prosecution have any objections?" he asked both Levi and Circuit.
(Levi) HOLD IT!! Twilight, just how accurate are these, "Devices", you mention? I'm sure the court would benefit from knowing.
"Accurate enough that the Canterlot Royal Library uses them to prevent theft. They're pretty trustworthy."
(Levi) And yet, not long before the Queen Chrysalis Incident, you were successfully able to break in to said library, while only a UNICORN, AND accompanied by the loudest pony living in Ponyville, and a dragon on an ice cream binge, to find a time stopping spell that didn't even exist. Granted, the Library's guards are more incompetent than prosecutor Payne, but still.... Those devices are NOT fool proof! A fact which YOU YOURSELF demonstrated!
"I'm not 100% on this, but I don't think a majority of the devices were installed until after the incident. They were mostly used to watch entrances and exits, but I can dig up some records of renovations to confirm that."
(Levi) As I recall, you entered through a window. And as you may know, a window can be used as an entrance, and unless I've really been neglecting to fire somepony for insubordination and incompetency, then I can safely assume that there were detectors placed at each window, as well as each doorway.
Twilight's horn glowed, and a floor plan of the library showed up on the stand. "That's odd. It seems there was a device there. Either, like you said, some pony wasn't doing their job or their not as accurate as I thought."
The judge nodded "The court accepts the map as evidence." he said --- Floors plan added to court record ---
The judge nodded. "Alright." He looked to Levi "Please, bring your next witness." he said calmly to him.
