The evidence was not strong
A man was accused of stealing a pair of trousers. After a long and patient examination he was acquitted, because the evidence against him was not sufficiently strong.

The man shook his head slightly, but remained. By this time the court was nearly empty. Again his lawyer told him that he could go, and asked him why he seemed to be so stupid.

An arab and his sons
Far to the East there lived in older days an Arab who had 3 sons, whom he dearly loved. He had seventeen beautiful horses, whom he loved, too.
One day the old man became very ill. Feeling that the end was near, he called his sons to give the eldest half of his horses, to the second son, one third, and to the youngest, one ninth.
The sons met to divide the horses but they didn’t know how to divide them.
“How can I take one half of seventeen horses?” said the eldest son. “I can’t divide a living horse in two.” “And how can I,” asked the second, “take one third of seventeen horses? But this is what my father wanted me to do.”
“I also want to do what my father wanted us to. But what is one ninth of seventeen horses?”
At that moment an old man came riding on a horse. “Maybe he can tell us”, they said hopefully. They told their story to him.
The man began to think. Several minutes passed before he spoke. At last he said, “Take my horse and there will be eighteen.”
They did so. The eldest son took one half of the horses. Then the second son called the horses which he loved best and the six animals came running to him. And the youngest son took two horses. The sons said to the man: “You divided the horses wonderfully. Say what you want us to give you for it”.
