Creative defense A lawyer tried to defend his client who was charged with theft. He said, “My client put his right hand into the drawer and took something not quite valuable. I don’t see why you have to punish him instead of just his hand.” “Well put,” the judge said. “Following the same logic, I order his right hand to one year’s jail term. He may choose to accompany his right hand or not.” The defendant then took off his silicone synthetic hand, left it on the bench and walked out of the court. What does it say? The teacher wanted to show her students the harm of alcohol and put a worm into a glass of spirit. The worm died immediately. “What does it say to you?” she asked. One student was quick to respond. He said, “It proves that worms won’t live in the guts of those who drink alcohol.” |
