Man accused of burglary.
Here's one about a lawyer defending a man accused of burglary.
My client merely inserted his arm into the window, and removed a few small items.
His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offence commited by his limb.
Well put, the judge replied. Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses.
The defendant smiled. With his lawyers assistance he detatched his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.
