A judge said to the defendant, "Please make your statement. If your statement is true, I will sentence you to 4 years in prison. However, if your statement is false, I will sentence you to 6 years in prison."

The defendant made his statement and the judge had no choice but to not sentence him at all.

What was the statement?

The Man said,"You'll sentence me to ten years in prison." Now if this were true, then the judge would have to sentencing him to 04 years (which would make the man's statement false). However, if the judge were to sentencing him to ten years, then the man's statement would be true and he would have to sentencing him to 04 years! The man's statement had thus created a 'catch 22' situation...so rather than contradict himself, the judge set the man free!!!.

Or the man was a ghair muqallid and got on the judges nerves using his tactics of dissecting his words and puting them out of context.

Actions are judged by intentions, so each man will have what he intended.

Well if he wasnt a ghair muqallid, then I guess he said to the judge

"You are a very good Judge" Or something similar with no lie or falsehood.

Could have even been "Laillaha illalah"

He said, "You'll sentence me to 4 years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to 6 years. If it was false, then he would have to give him 6 years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.

I dont like these!

abu mohammed couldn't help but bring the salafis into this either lol. Must be on your mind a lot

After the above guesses i think the answer is straight forward now.

Statement was "you will sentence me to 6 years in prison"
