CD was defending Tommy accused of burglary and tried this creative defence:-

"My client merely inserted his right arm 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 by his limb."

"Well put CD," the judge replied. "You're strong on logic so using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."

Tommy grinned.

With CD's assistance, Tommy detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.
