A story might help explain this. In another country a long time ago, there was a tough penalty for stealing -- the removal of the thief's hand.

If you were in his court and convicted of stealing, you were sure to get justice and lose a hand. One day an old woman was brought into his court and, after the testimony of a couple of eye witnesses, she admitted her guilt.
