(4) it was the man's arm (5) that/which had committed the crime and not the man
himself. 'You cannot punish a man for (6) what his arm has done,' said the lawyer. Now the
judge in (7) whose court the man was appearing wanted to show how stupid the lawyer's
argument was. Instead of finding the man guilty, he found the man's arm guilty and sent it to
prison. 'He can go with his arm or not, as he chooses,' the judge added, (8) which made
everyone laugh. But (9) what the judge didn't know was that the man had an artificial arm.

out of the court.
