A Tennessee man was in court to be sentenced for theft.
The judge told the man, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to five years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to ten years in prison."
After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

can't figure it out HElp plz
 
You will sentenced me to 10 years in prison.
If this statement was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to 5 years.
If it this statement was false, the judge would have to sentence him to 10 years, which in turn would make it true.

Hence the judge let the man go so not to risk being a fool and contradicting himself.
