Crime and Punishment
A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense：“My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few 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.”
After some deliberation，the judge replied，“Well put.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 lawyer s assistance he detached his artificial limb，laid it on the bench，and walked out.

经过一番深思熟虑，法官回答道：“说得很好。按照你的逻辑，我判决被告的胳膊入狱一年。他可以陪它一起入狱，也可不必，随他的便。”被告面露微笑。在律师的帮助下他将假肢卸下，将其放在长凳上，然后走出了法庭。
