what did the man say?

A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison. After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let...

him go free. What did the man say?

you got me???

'You will sentence me to six years in prison'

If it was true, then the judge would have to 'make' it false and sentence him to four years.
If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true.

The judge set him free rather than contradict himself.

The man said, I will pay you one million dollars to let me go free so the judge let him go free. hahaha
