Arm Logic
A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense:"My client merely inserted his into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed bu his limb."
"Well put", the judge replied ."Using your logic, Isentence the defendant'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 his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.
胳膊逻辑
一人被指控犯有入室盗窃罪,他的律师为他富有创意地辩护道:"我的当事人只是把一只胳膊伸进窗户里,取走几件不重要的物品.但胳膊并非他本人,我不明白您怎么可以将他肌体的过错归罪于他整个人."
法官反唇相讥道:"说得好,那我就按照你的逻辑,判被告人的胳膊一年的监禁.至于他本人愿不愿意陪同前往,就由他自己决定."被告人笑了,在律师的协助下将他的假肢卸下来,放在法官席上,然后离开法庭扬长而去.
