Two persons, both know each other, one knows both have either the same fingerprints, or DNA, or even both, winds up committing a crime and leaves his fingerprints behind. Let's say for the sake of arguement the other innocent guy's fingerprints are on file with the authorities, but not the other guy's & he commits a serious crime & doesn't get caught. Who goes to jail & pays for the crime?

In this day and age, anything is possible! What if it were true that two males had the same fingerprints? What if it were possible? Would you still give the same old answer(s) because you've been conditioned to give it?

it's impossible to have the same fingerprints or dna.

There has been years and years of scientific evidence that proves two people would never have the same finger print and the same goes for DNA. All it would take is for two people to come forward with the same finger prints and the same DNA and then there would be mass chaos. Every person who was arrested and jailed by those identifiers would then have to be released from jail and rapists, murderers, and God know what else will be walking the streets once again.
So to answer your question they would have to find out another way to find people and convict them of a crime.
Good question, but it would cause mass chaos and I hope it never happens for everyone's sake!

Saw something interesting about DNA a while back on cable (Discovery? Titled: I Am My Twin).
Seems a very small percentage of people (crimoras - spelling is wrong) may have 2 or more sets of DNA. Whether or not they match the DNA the police have - would depend on what type of DNA sample you take from them.
Different organs in their body has different DNA signatures. The condition occurs when the mother has two pregnant eggs merge and gives birth to one child which has both sets of DNA.

a couple of years ago a set of identical twins were arrested because one of them committed murder. Both had the same DNA and fingerprints. Because they could not get to the truth they had to both be placed on prison until they could get the truth.
I dont know what ever happened to the case though

No 2 people could have genetically the same DNA or fingerprints... even within a family, certain strands of DNA are different enough to tell individuals apart.

Are u living in a fantasy world?? NOBODY has exactly the same DNA or fingerprints! That question can not be anwsered because that is not reality!

It's not possible to have the same DNA unless you have been cloned. The same idea goes along with fingerprints. Your question is not applicable.

A mans DNA is different from a woman's DNA because the man has a Y chromosome and the woman does not. Also, as of yet no two people have been found with the exact same fingerprints or DNA. Your scenario is not logical because it is so improbable.

no two people have the same fingerprints. even identical twins do not have the same fingerprints.
and. no its not possible EVER. fingerprints are unique and are developed naturally, and is affected by what you touch, do and put your hands through on a daily basis.

DNA will only be the same in truly identical twins, which is not common. Fingerprints are not the same in any case, so they may arrest both, just until the lab results are in.
Even identical twins have unique fingerprints.

This question is moot, since no two people can have the same DNA and fingerprints.
