While surfing the net I found this recount of what appears to be the best defense attorny in the state of this happening and also of the all to literal criminal.
According to www.dumb.com:
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.
Apparently the attorney, knowing of his clients atrificial limb worded the defense purposly and the judge, not knowing of the defendants artificial limb is possibly wishing he would have chosen better wording.
