    Let me re-word that

    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 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," 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 lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

          I guess he was charged with armed robbery.

                      No calling him violent. In fact he was (h)armless!

                          I suppose this labels him as a 1-armed bandit...

                              After he left the courthouse he threatened a policeman, but there was nothing the officer could do, as it's against policy to shoot an unarmed man.
