with assault and battery and put on trial. The whole town seems to believe Freddy is guilty, especially after Freddy loses his temper with his own attorney and the jury after he does not pronounce the word "chowder" in a Boston accent. Bart knows otherwise and confesses to Lisa that he is the only witness who can prove Freddy's innocence, but is reluctant to testify because it would mean admitting that he skipped school and being punished by Skinner for it. At the trial, the jury consists of Homer, Skinner, Moleman, Ned, Helen, Jasper, Patty, Apu, and Akira. Homer disrupts proceedings by sleeping through the trial.

Freddy was given the same type of cheekbones and nose as Quimby to make them resemble each other. When Bart is fleeing from Skinner, a shot of Bart running down a hill from the
