It seems like there would be a problem with sending the inocent one to jail, or letting the guilty one free.

Keep in mind the inocent one is inocent he tryed to stop the guilty one and is not an accessory to the crime, just a witness.

Perhaps the judges should also be siamese as well.

On a case by case basis. This is only a theory but the prosecution would have to also prove whether or not the conjoined was an accessory to the fact or did the conjoined attempt to physically stop the accused.

There never has been such a crime. Both would be complicit anyway - unless one overpowered the other. But Siamese twins have such horrendous medical problems, it would be difficult for them to commit a crime in the first place.

Well--if the 'innocent' one didn't stop the other, they'd technically be an accomplice--so they'd both get in trouble. The problem is gonna come up when one is eligible to get out and the other isn't.
Hmmm......

itis a difficult question. I think it belong how one commit crime and how other do to prevent, constrain crime.

they are both guilty
the one you call innocent is at the very least an accessory

One would be the other's accomplice, so they would both go to jail. LOL
