The Ayes Have It.

His 'hand was an evil hand which made drugs so Antonie Dixon cut it off..'

.. and so, in full agreement with this person, he put out his hand so it could be cut off?

Or was he trying to defend himself with his hand and it was cut off?

Now with this sort of irrational testimony one has to wonder who and what is rational or irrational ... the protagonist, for the irrational statements made to explain or mitigate (against) his irrational behaviour; the psychiatrist for not only accepting the irrational explanation but presenting it as evidence of a disordered (or irrational) state of mind at the time of the act, thus circumventing responsibility ... and it would seem without contesting the veracity of this; the lawyer for endeavouring to sell this irratonal notion to twelve people not endowed with reason or understanding about such matters.

'Tis a fine line indeed.
