judge and criminal

I got a good one for y'all

A criminal was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

good luck

No one, save a new-born, is innocent. Just pointing that out haha, that doesn't discredit your answer.

Then the criminal's statement was false, and the judge didn't keep his word as to what he would do in that case.

Yup. And now the criminal has ten years to stew on it.

Re: judge and criminal

When making an appearance in criminal court, learning how to speak to the judge is essential to getting what you want or what you need. Following these steps could be the difference between keeping yourself in or out of custody.

I think what Vanadium is saying is that, given the above sentence (which I believe is what was expected), the judge can not keep his word in any case. So whether he lets the prisoner go or sentence him to 10 years, what difference does it make with regards to what the judge keeping his word ?

Re: judge and criminal

the judge gives a 4 yr sentence, and a 6 yr sentence (to serve consecutively ?) it happens in real life, and no contradictions
