interesting defense case
« on: June 26, 2014, 09:17:50 am »
A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried a creative defense:"My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a fewtrifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how youcan punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb.""Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence thedefendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's assistance he detached hisartificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.
