One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other
This one is for all the legal minds out there who listen to the show and read out content. And we know we have a lot of lawyers that are fans. They listen to the show on a regular basis and we frequently get letters from them. So this puzzler is a legal matter. It's very simple. Very brief.
A man is accused of a crime. He comes before a judge and jury and is tried for said crime. Wicked crime, like murder or something. A heinous crime, indeed.
And he is convicted. He is found guilty of this crime.
So he is accused, tried, and convicted. The judge says, "Your guilt has been proven. The jury has found you guilty. Yet by law, I am compelled to set you free."
Why? Why and how?
The jury has found him guilty. What kind of a crime could he have committed with a judge who is bound to set him free?
Good luck!
