For example, if you murder someone, even with dna, no one could prove which twin did it.

Not true for the following reasons:
Eye witnesses are not the only way to prove a murder.
Motive is most often the most important thing.
Most twins look a little bit different, so if anyone who knew them could tell.
Twins have different fingerprints.

No it's not because if one of the twins was the murderer, then where was the other twin when this was going on? Someone wouldn't have an alibi. Having the same DNA doesn't mean you couldn't prove who did it. They could both take lie detector tests.

They absolutely could! Identical twins are only called "identical" because of the way in which they were conceived. Meaning they come from the same egg and sperm. Althought they are called identical twins, they don't necessarily have to be exactly the same in all aspects. Many MANY identical twins don't look alike. In fact there are more and more Fraternal (born from 2 sperm and 2 eggs) that look identical. Although the term is used for classification only they have very different dna and genitic mapping. They even have different finger prints!!

DNA is like fingerprints. No two people on this earth have the same fingerprints, nor do they have the same DNA, twins or not. The medical examiners and forensic labs would be able to quickly identify which twin committed the murders.

that is a silly question! yes it could be the perfect alibi i guess, but if you feel that you could do anything like that because you have an identical twin then that is to bad. if i had a hundred identical twins i would never conceive anything so hanus. to even think about that is wrong. i will pray for you.

Twins have different DNA. There is no one on the planet, or who ever lived, who has the exact DNA as anyone else, either living or dead.

DNA is different in everybody, twins or not.

I am an identical twin and most wouldn't do that to their twin.
