The witness was the farmers wife. The defendants had a public defender. The petit jury met to start the trial. The judge heard each testimony. The mice presented a plea bargain hoping to be let off a little easier. The mice also made an appeal that they were starving and had no food to eat. The prosecution proceeded.
