LOS ANGELES—The trial of Suzy, Timmy, Shaniqua and Ricky for the attempted murder of cereal spokesman Lucky the Leprechaun came to a climactic finale as the green-clad television star took the stand. There, he agreed to dismiss all charges against the children on the condition that they could name all the marshmallows in Lucky Charms cereal.

The defendants easily rattled off the names of the marshmallows: pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons, green clovers, blue diamonds, purple horseshoes, red balloons, and this month’s gimmick marshmallow: rainbow trout.

"Into that Lucky, I’ll carve a gash, because his marshmallows taste like trash!" sneered trial juror The Leprechaun.

The children were accused of chasing Lucky off a cliff, where the cartoon star fell some fifty feet.

The children maintain that they, like always, were simply after his Lucky Charms.

Initially, an angry Lucky had taken a different view of the situation.

“Ye bloody hooligans chase me and chase me ‘til I use up all me magic, then ye run me off a cliff. Ye think ye can have me Lucky Charms when I’m cold and dead, ye blimey wankers,” Lucky said shortly before the trial began.

“Just go the frickin’ store,” Lucky added.

Lucky’s sudden change of heart did not go unprotested by his counsel, who claimed that Lucky was clearly insane.

Judge Walter Orson disagreed. “Look, he’s a leprechaun. Where are you going to find a psychiatrist with enough experience with leprechauns to tell you whether he’s insane or not? It’s bad enough we could only find one ‘peer’ of his to sit on the jury.”

The children, despite their reprieve, were still defiant.

“When I see that bitch-ass Lucky again, I’m gonna beat him upside the head with the butt of my gat, take his muthafuckin’ Lucky Charms, and stomp on his gut ‘til gold comes out his mouth,” Shaniqua said in a press release just hours after the trial ended.

Suzy, Timmy, and Ricky have scheduled a press conference for today at 4 PM EST.

Lucky could not be reached for comment.
